A Four Course Meal. Saturday 24th March 2012




Chef Christine's day off seems to come around very quickly these days, and so it was this weekend. So the author spent some time designing a special menu, which he presented for the evening meal.
First (naturally) was the entree, namely mussels in garlic butter with garlic bread. Followed by Salmon fillets, seared on both sides,& served with snap peas, with a dressing of chilli, Lime & Ginger.
Then, Fresh grapes and strawberries, finally followed by cheese & biscuits.
Not bad even if I do say myself.  The slightly sweet chilli dressing was a little unusual but was enjoyable.......................Now then, the big let down was;..................the tiny Tesco mussels, they were miniscule and were quite a disappointment, a bit like eating a savoury frozen pea! A glass or two of Pinot Grigio helped me forget the 'dinky' mussels.  Because of Tesco this meal only scored 8/10.
 I'm Gutted.
