Well, I just fgot back from my "Italian" works christmas meal. I dont doubt that the restaurant has some Italian connections, but the food I had suckked. Starters was something like Funghi a la angola??or something like that, turned out to be ordinary cheap and cheerful mushrooms braised with garlic and wine and very little taste...no Ceps, no Trompes, just quartered button mushrooms,sad. I ate three or four mouthfulls , got bored and gave it to someone else to finish. Main course was supposed to be penne something courgettes. This turned out to be cold fusili with chargrilled courgettes and aubergines which were burnt not char grilled. Appaling. If I had to pay for it myself , I would have been pissed. I expect they thought that would teach me for being a vegan...................... The Valley

Anything that starts with the word Funghi (fungi here) <grin> makes me think of what grows in my bathroom besides the mold. No wonder it sucked.

 

Cheerful mushrooms? You have cheerful mushrooms over there? Does that mean smiling ones, or optimistic ones or just what?

 

I would have been pissed too whether or not I had to pay for it.

Ok, are you all sitting comfortably then? For starter I would serve a

salad of rocket and sunblushed tomatoes, olives optional as I know

people either love or hate them (a bit like marmite!) or a spicy

butternut squash soup. Main could be roasted vegetable with quinoa or

aubergine bake, roast potatoes and side vegetables or puy lentils,

courgettes and rice. This would then be followed by chocolate cake or

stewed cinnamon apples with soya ice-cream or flapjacks and, of course,

proper coffee. How does that sound fraggle? Have I singlehandedly

rescued the honour of my motherland? ;-)

Hi Linda

 

You can have the main chair! I like to sit in the middle where

everything is at arms length.

 

Plus Alex, I would be happy to help in the kitchen! Nothing like

sampling before dinner. :)

Yep - I agree with Peter - his mum must love him otherwise she wouldn't make such nice food for him, and that in turn means he is most likely a good son.
