High-end culinaryfags can help me with a menu? I'm having some friends coming over for a dinner and I want to amaze them. I am a great fan of French cuisine and will take the challenge on my first 5-course meal.
It must have duck a l'orange, and i would like to harmonize the other courses with it, i hope to have a consistent menu of interesting things.

Still undecided about which recipes I'm taking. Definitively Hannibal is a great inspiration for the aesthetics and a bit of what I'm going for.

That's my original outline so far:
Soup - Consommé a la Royale + white pepper flan with caviar
1st palate cleanser - some form of granite
Entrée - Quiche Lorraine
2nd palate cleanser - some form of tea
Salad - Watercress and orange zest salad with roasted potatoes and prosciutto or just a salad niçoise
3rd palate cleanser - (undecided)
Main course - Duck a L'orange
4th palate cleanser - Punch Romaine
Dessert - Pear Belle Heléne

/ck/ anons can give me some feedback and suggestions?

Everything is sweet, it's fancy for the sake of being fancy, the dishes don't mesh flavor-wise, they are all just sticking to the same theme without thinking what one might one to follow up with when eating.

You have a lot of citrus across all dishes. Also roasted potatoes might not go well, it seems to heavy of a thing to serve at that time. You should also consider theming he courses by palate - ie: savory, then acidic, etc - so courses don't get lost and the meal flat

It makes me laugh that you came to /ck/ for advice about fancy cooking. You know you're gonna get bad advice or shitty memes.
