Hello sunshine! |
Because there were so many of us at lunch, we'd had to choose our dishes in advance. I am bad at this. I always make snap decisions (usually I just tick whatever contains cheese/chocolate) and then I get terrible food envy when I see the other options being served.
For the starter, I plumped for the pork and duck pate, which came wrapped in bacon (score!)
It was accompanied by crunchy Melba toast and some kind of chutney, which was a touch too jammy for my taste. Still, a nice starter and very prettily presented.
For some mad reason I chose the salmon to follow.
Now, don't get me wrong. I love me a bit of salmon. And this was perfectly cooked, flaky and not too dry. And the tomato salsa that came with it (which is invisible in the above photo) was herby and delicious. But, really. My sister-in-law, sitting next to me, had a plate of sliced roast beef, roast potatoes, and not-one-but-TWO yorkshires. Why oh why didn't I order that?
For pudding, B and I democratically split the fruit salad and the chocolate torte. There isn't a photo of that because I cleared the plate so quickly it was almost like it never existed. Something I couldn't convince the waitress of, unfortunately.
