Parsnip Crisps the Margot Way. Peel and then use the peeler to make ribbons of parsnip.Blanch in hot fat, then fry again till golden brown.Drain on papper,sprinkle with salt and a twist of pepper.Highly addictive

Bruno Brooks?...any particular reason he was there? was he running the disco after the awards?

I'm guilty as charged with mint and parsley.I like the smell of mint with fruit desserts.How about dustings of icing sugar? and cocoa? Worse case i have seen, was a Lamb dish i had at a local hotel some years back, which was garnished with a little bundle of rosemary, thyme and parsley.Very pretty, but if the chef had actually used them for cooking, the lamb may well have tasted OK

Yeah thats the kind of thing!!!

On serving 2 gentlemen who were dining with us dessert, i had forgotten who was having the Caramelised Lemon Tart.So i asked, in all innocence, "whos the tart?", to which one replied "i am, but hes having dessert, I'm having cheese".

Keep ya mouth shut Simon, or you will wake to find a monkfish head on your pillow

Thats what i found strange Charlene. When i go out and i intend to pay with Card, then i rarely have enough on me to pay cash.People had not been told before about this offer, i only printed the menus at 6pm

oops...better not tell them then

Yes Tommy...people are strange Maybe you could explain the logic behind the pricing of a menu i saw recently...2 courses for £26...3 Courses for £28.To me that means that you can get a dessert for only£2, but how the place is supposed to make money at that price i don't know?

Last night i was running low on cash, and a load of staff were champing at the bit to be paid, and i was loathed to go to the bank, si i decided to give 5% discount for cash.As about 80-90% of a normal evening would be Credit Card, i just wanted to up the cash flow a wee bit.Well bugger me, 100% paid cash!!!!!! This got me thinking.....if i see on menus ,or anywhere for that matter, a small percentage charge for making payment by credit card, it kind of puts my back up.But if you flip it on its head , and charge less for cash, then people really go for it! Strange

THE TIME HAS COME...our masher cracked tonight may i ask for a minutes silence as a mark of repect thank you

Maybe you should start the menu game on the appropriate forum? This thread was originally on General Foods, and it got moved to make it easier to play.Just a thought (F**cking Padstow....F**cking Right !!)

Yes Simon wins...Ripley's In St Merryn..sorry didn't get back to you lot earlier,just been hit by a massive lunch service £££££££££ Simons turn.......

Not in Scotland

OK...another clue....chef is very "talented"

Not Baslow

not in London...not ludlow, not the Star...not Bruce...carry on edit not Bath either

You want it too easy Charlene This place has been mentioned on the UK thread

No the menu is not online...wheres the fun in that? I don't think this restaurant has a web site. I thought this might be a challenge, so hes a big clue...it has a Michelin Star Not the Vanilla Pod either edit PS maybe i should have posted this on the UK board, other areas can start there own game? Any mod wanted to shift this , carry on

Not Aurora. I didn't know where Turtle Creek is, so i didn't get the joke.

Nice try Andy....but wrong

Turtle Creek..that sounds far away...this is a UK Restaurant

Not Ramsay, nor Cafe 21, nor St John...keep trying

Ok heres the deal....i pick one starter, one main course and one dessert from the menu of a mystery restaurant...all you got to do is name the restaurant.I think the price might be a good idea too, as it well help narrow the search.Maybe the winner can set the next menu? 2nds out...round one ( and its not my place, that would be stupid ) Pressed Terrine of Ham Hock,New Potato Salad and Local Leafs (sic) £6.00 Fillet of Scotch Beef on the Bone, Bone Marrow Butter, Red wine and Shallot Sauce £17.50 Hot Bitter Chocolate Fondant, Banana Ice-Cream (baked to order) £4.50
