Brasserie Va-tout, Tokyo 09-2008

This French brasserie in the expensive gaijin territory of Roppongi lured me in with its lunch set menu. It is the first time I've ever eaten beef heart and the meat was unique and endearing with a distinct flavour. I've never looked back since then and cooked my own beef heart steak, eaten the hearts of a turtle, lamb, pig, chicken (makes me sound quite the killer) and of course beef in corazon skewers.

It was the prelude to watching Hawthorn football club win the 2008 premiership. Yes!
