...dull - though not in Mimolette's case. Excellent and comforting dinners - think pan-roasted quail, or Yorkshire pork rack - are served nightly except Mondays. But Mimolette really comes into its own at Sunday brunch, when its uncluttered dining room is filled with a buttery light. Feast on crepes, soufflés, eggs benedict, cod-brandade omelette, corned-beef hash and all the rest. Naturally, the last thing you'll want to do afterward is climb into the saddle - let others gallop across the surrounding meadows while you sit back and watch contentedly...
...Obama's strength is inspiration, and it's also his weakness. In the recent past, Democrats have favored candidates who offer meaty, detailed policy prescriptions - usually to the party's detriment - and that is not Obama's game. After his Iowa victory, his stump speech had become a soufflé untroubled by much substance of any sort. He has rectified that, to some extent. He now spends some time talking about the laments of average Americans he has met along the way; then he dives into a litany of solutions he has proposed to address the laments. But those...
...second, the pizza loses a bit of its airy perfection. The other advantage of eating it right there by the oven is that you avoid having to share it with anyone back at the table. Unlike the gut-busting, fully loaded fast-food pizzas, these are light as soufflés.

Head chef Pierre Burgade's menu also reflects the island's diversity: seared ruby snapper with Mauritian spices and a light curry sauce followed by a Grand Marnier soufflé with mandarin sherbet are just two gems. But perhaps the best way to savor the feasts on offer is at a candlelit table on the beach with the aroma of frangipani lingering in the air, ensuring that all five senses are titillated. www.oberoihotels.com
...skyrocketing. In 1926, American gourmet A.J. Liebling got his education for 6 francs a feast. Today, anyone in a restaurant with three Michelin stars can expect to gain several kilos and drop several hundred euros. And prices are rising like one of L'Arpège's avocado pistachio soufflés. In 2001, the set menu there cost 1,200 francs (€185); now it's €420 per person - no wonder nice guys from Winnipeg weep into their pinot. OK, so I've been known to spend more on one meal than most would in a week. That...
