Our "annual" outing (which is happening again post covid) takes a bit of planning as there are a few food issues. We trawl the restaurant menus online in advance and book the ones that fit best with our different needs. I must admit it is getting a bit easier but pub grub is still the most difficult. We certainly had a first this year where, although The Ivy in Bath has a suitable menu, we couldn't book because there were 12 of us. We couldn't get a table from them in Bath but they could offer one for 12 in Canary wharf??Thanks so much @Annb @MrsA2 and @Outlier for your comments re food choices when I am on Exmoor. I emailed the pub yesterday and asked if they could provide a piece of unadorned protein either chicken lamb or fish with green veg one night of my stay as I was diabetic and the menu was carb heavy and I would have steak & salad from menu second might. They emailed back saying I could deconstruct anything on the menu and not to worry, honestly (!) as they were very knowledgeable about Diabetes as receptionist’s daughter was T1 and former chef had Diabetes until he was cured by a transplant. That made me mad as a box of frogs that they thought all diabetics have equal requirements and they knew better than me what suited me. Its the same round here which is rural and why we never eat out, I am fed up of steak and salad being my only option. I will try the two starter route while away. Its very awkward to bring the tone down when sharing with three other couples on our annual jaunt so I will grimace and bear it!
Brekkie today slice LC toast, lots of tea.
Lunch will be an avocado with a few prawns, maybe followed by a small ramekin of berries. Supper will be Indian t/a (only food option for miles for me) Tandoori King Prawns and cauli bhajee.
That turned out very well!So instead of simply reheating the other half tomorrow, I'll improvise a trick with added veggies or such to have all this salt spread over a larger amount of food.
Pleased to see you hve got your appetite back.Dinner: ham hock terrine. Yes, @Riva_Roxaban , I made one. As always I adapted it. I just cannot stick to a recipe without giving it my own twist. So I added chorizo choppedwith the ham, with a mixture of butter, parsley, and grainy mustard in the middle. It went down well with the guests for dinner. They had hasselback potatoes, I left that out, and just had tenderstem broccoli, and cornichon. With plenty of red wine, and finishing with a glass of rum and pepsi max.
So glad I felt well enough to eat again today
I so admire the restraint for your Sunday single jaffa cake.Jaffa cake
