Thanks threaded & Lucifer!!
Hopefully confirming this weekend...
Lucifer Box: went to the farm this week and cut my own asparagus - hollandaise sauce as well as black pepper and butter within 2 hours of cutting - lovely.
Now on the last of it so making a creamy soup.

Came back from Copenhagen - very nice - thanks for the suggestions threaded and LB. Wifey has a little upset as it was a holiday on Monday and so the shops were closed.
Didn't manage to get to any of the restaurants suggested LB as they were booked up (we should have booked on Friday evening) but went to the Grønnegade instead - lovely. We had a 6 course taster meal.

Tivoli a bit like Thorpe Park without the chavs. Spent most of our time out in some of the bars and restaurants, saw the changing of the guard in Amalienborg, there was a parade in the Strøget of scantily clad women in costumes and lots of morris dancers. I'm sure I spied threaded in there somewhere...
Copenhagen definitely appeared to be more chav free and cleaner than London although prices were as high. Food quality, even in the cafes, was very good - seafood very good. Saw the little mermaid and
Depressed within 3 minutes of leaving business class - the queues at immigration were beyond belief as was the idiot at the Heathrow car park barrier insisted he didn't realise you needed to pay the ticket before leaving...I mean FFS, it's even written in Punjabi...If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.Comment

We had the Season menu - I've just seen it on the website - my personal favourite was:
Breast of canette from Mireal with marinated rhubarb,
saucisse of the duck and foam of terragon - morrel stuffed with confit and foie gras served with pommes grand de mere
My wife liked the
Vanilla panna cotta with mint gele and sorbet of lemon -
lemoncream and chiffon of buttermilk with white chocolate and mascapone in crispy caramel -
terrine of lemon served with Italian meringue
I'm afraid we wimped out on a really good wine as they were fairly expensive so we settled for
2001 Merlot,Eden Valley,Heggies Vineyard
which I've had before.
Going to attack the farm shop's rhubarb now...If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.Comment

The other let down was the red light district which amounted to a few grubby rather sinister back streets, a kind of street of shame if you like.Last edited by AlfredJPruffock; 6 June 2006, 11:54.Comment

It is called, and I have previously warned you, the 'little mermaid', because it is little and a mermaid.Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

You are right, it's small. But as you said, the best bit was the walk (and a nice breakfast at the cafe near the church).
There was a massive ship parked there - the Blue Moon.If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.Comment
