the prawns tasted good but seemed a little bit too similar to the kind of thing you get in the supermarkets in the frozen party food section. And yeah, given that the menu was 2 courses for £12 or 3 for £16 it wouldn't surprise me if it was more a truffle flavoured oil than actual white truffle oil. Couldn't really taste it tbh, so who knows. Certainly room for improvement, but not for that price, so overall, very happy
Sounds goodTriple T that looks like an amazing texture and taste contrast on that rissoto. Crunchy cold pea tendrills on warm soft creamy rissoto....oh hell ya. I love mussels too, especially with some leeks in there. One of my favorite mussel recipies is with a sweet wine, fennel, blanched leeks, shallots, garlic, cream and alot of apple cider. Surprisingly good.
I rarely cook mussels myself. No dedicated fish monger in this area so the only option is from the supermarket, where they're alive, granted, but you cook em up and the animal inside is about the size of a penny. I like em when they're as big as your thumb
Topping for the bruschetta was olive oil, vine tomatoes, fresh basil and parsley, anchovies, garlic, onion, lemon zest and juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Scrummdiddlyumptuous.
