Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat foodies thread
I am an unashamed foodie. Wouldn't eat anything else! Last Saturday I did a dinner for another foodies birthday on the theme of 'A Dinner for an English Gentleman'. We had King Prawns in Brandy cream sauce served with Cornish asparagus and home baked rolls as a starter, Roast haunch of venison with a gin jus served with new potatoes, and local seasonal vegetables, followed by Port jelly [i.e. port set and nothing else added] with Cornish Clotted cream, fresh raspberries and shortbread, Cheeseboard then coffee and florentines. Wines were Lanson with the prawns, Presidents XV with the venison, Couvoisier XO with the coffee. The food miles were minimal. Conviviality superb, food exceptional even though I say so myself. Anyone want menu's - I'll quite happily design one for you.
