Well I had home made chicken, leek pie. With smashed carrots and new pots with rosemary

And the puff pastry was lush. (it was one of those just roll things)

Grub club was fun last night. Slightly disturbing that HD and Bunk both ordered exactly the same things for every course. Table for two next time guys?

For those not on G+ the following was consumed (from memory so may be corrected).

Appetizers

Toasted parmesan tuiles and what I think were miniature rissoto balls with truffles.

Assorted bread (Rosemary and sea salt grissini, Focacia and Chiabata) with charcuterie and olive oil (beautiful green with a flavour of mown grass).

Starters

Sweetbreads with Pickled cauliflower, caper and raisin purée (Me)
Scallop ceviche with Spiced avocado purée, candied kumquat, coriander (HD,B)
Fettucine with Rabbit, basil pesto (Mudskipper)

Mains

Gressingham duck breast with Cauliflower purée, grilled foie gras, candied walnuts (HD, B).
Welsh lamb with Confit breast, broad beans, goats cheese cream (Me. MS).

Intermezzo

Lime mousse with chocolate

Desserts

Buttermilk pannacotta Yoghurt and passionfruit sorbet, honeycomb (HD,B)
Layered chocolate cake Bitter orange, hot chocolate sauce (MS)
Artisanal cheeses (Me)

Amuse Bouch

Dark Chocolate and Raspberry lollipops
Caramel Shortbreads

Don't remember the wine, but it was a very nice red and not stupidly expensive.

Mmmmmm, t'was lovely. Bunk and HyperD both had a finger lick of the choccy sauce.

Wine was a Languedoc-Roussillon - the house red. It had a cute donkey on the label.

Also G&T and Campari & soda aperiftifs, still and sparkling water.
