Dessert?

Drink?

Water - still or sparkling? - Still. One of my favourite drinks, just ice cold water. Never not refreshing.

Poppadoms or bread? - Bread. My grandad was a fisherman and a baker, my mum's a tremendous home baker and I love making bread myself so a nice focaccia would be perfect. Balsamic red onions and goats cheese are my go to toppings.

Starter? - The calamari and the anchovies I had at Bodega Vasconia in Barcelona. The day after Primavera festival and I've never had better.

Main course? - The lamb sharing dish my old man and I had at The Kitchin. Rack of lamb, rump of lamb, confit carrot, confit fennel and a thick, sticky lamb sauce. So simple but could have had it ten times over.

Side? - The Queso Fundido from Mas in Dundee. Very good modern Mexican place but nice salty tortilla chips with baked, stringy, oozy and slightly blackened cheese is amazing.

Dessert? - Rhubarb Crumble and custard. I like having blitzed up hazelnuts and pumpkin seeds in my crumble mix too.

Drink? - Aqua Di Valencia. Gin, vodka, freshly squeezed orange juice and topped up with cava.

Superb choice on the drink. I'll have to have a proper think about this one.

Depending on which quiz programmes you watch, that statement could mean two very different things! 😉

My Christmas Day cocktail plans involve an Aqua Di Valencia with brunch, dry martinis post dinner than in the evening one that Cerys Matthews once shared 1 get a half pint glass, add one shot of vodka and one of Tia Maria then top up with Guinness.

It’s a joy.

Bread, fish and chips with bread and garlic bread. You should have completed the set with bread and butter pudding.

Disappointing. :wink:
