Early spring menu at Pigall's

Annette just sent over the early spring menu for the $74 prix-fixe meal at Jean-Robert at Pigall's. The menus are full of interesting choices, and I love that I remember French words I've forgotten. Par exemple, "grenadine" is the French word for pomegranate! Everything sounds more interesting in French. Would you rather eat a beet or a bettarave rouge?
The menu is lengthy, so I'll post it in the comments section.

Oh, nooooo. Jean-Robert swore a sacred pledge that he would NEVER make the lobster again after he left the Maisonette.

Until his business took a dip and he got desperate anyway.....
