Me too! Good thing KS mentioned the name (Abalone) so I could look it up :-)
For some reason, these dishes seem to match a fine watch better than a typical Dutch dish like 'Boerenkool met worst' :-)
Kind regards,

Growing up, "Abalone Steaks" were considered a common seafood restaurant menu choice right along with Lobster, King Crab and Jumbo Shrimp. It is a very tough meat and requires "pounding" to make it buttery soft in texture for proper cooking. It has a wonderful taste. Unfortunately, Abalone was over fished almost to extinction and is now a protected species in the U.S. My brothers and I would dive just off the coast where we lived as youngsters when they were abundant.
Many of you know of the iridescent, beautiful coloring on the smooth inside of the shell. The outside is very rough, grayish in color and barnicaled for camouflage. It is used as decoration and for making jewelry.
The IWC Collectors' Forum is not only about the fantastic time pieces and creating great human relations but also a vehicle for culture and exchanging experiences.
I would like to add that in Asia you can still find abalone, as a delicacy, in practically every high end set lunch or dinner.
Cheers!

Omar Khayyám (Persia XI-XII Century) offered that Time should not only be measured in length but also in width due to the intrinsic difference between a minute or other depending on what is happening to the beholder... I wonder how a watch would look like...

Erwin, absolutely agree!
I attended a black tie event middle of the month in Prague, and whilst I wore my 5001-07 the 3 days of the conference - at the gala dinner, it was the Pure Classic.
