We went out for dinner last night as a team. We'd booked a table in Meza on Wardour Street. It's a Conran restaurant so I had fairly high expectations. The staff were all busy chatting to each other and lolling about behind the bar trying their best not to make eye contact with any of the poor souls who had mistakenly come in for some Tapas style dinner.
I ordered roast potato’s stuffed with quail eggs - I got boiled potatoes mushed into a ramakin shape mixed with red peppers (urgggghhhh) and a tiny fried egg on top. It was luke warm and tasted like oil.
For my main course I ordered Pork Fillet wrapped in ham with butter sauce - i got a chewy old pork chop with some creamy salty sauce over the top and a crusty piece of Parma ham nonchalantly thrown on top.
Dessert was good though - yummy Vanilla cheesecake. Well for me it was not for my colleague who ordered Poaches pears in a red wine sauce with vanilla & cinnamon ice cream and got the above but with Mango Sorbet! Can you imagine a fouler taste that red wine sauce, pears & Mango Sorbet. They ran out of Vanilla ice cream and thought no one would notice.
I got home in time to watch a TV show about a journo who tried to slim down to a size 0 in 2 months. She tried everything, cabbage soup diet, extreme exercising even hot water maple syrup and cayenne pepper. She did loose a lot of weight but was in such a bad mood all the time from being half starved that she lost friends and her social life.
I could not starve myself for longer than 3 hours, I’d end up stealing someone’s lunch from the fridge, hmm that reminds me it’s pancake’s for dinner tonight. I’m thinking Maple syrup, mascarpone & chopped Walnuts mmmmm I’m salivating just thinking about them.
