Rob182 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I went to my parents for Sunday dinner today. My mom had put on a leftovers/picnic style spread with crusty bread, cheeses, cold meats, pork pies, cocktail sausages, chicken & bacon vau len vents etc. However, she had forgotten that I was still doing the ‘vegetarian thing’, so my dinner was mainly bread based Garlic bread.... crusty bread... a bit of cheese on some bread... and some salad. A taste sensation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I went to Marco Pierre Whites bardolino place in the cube on Friday for a Italian afternoon tea. Came with fizz.. which was a flat glass of asti. And the food was shit, apart from a tiny chocolate brownie. Whilst i didnt anticipate a great deal, it was actually much worse. I don't understand why a supposedly prestigious place would get people in via Groupon (gift) and put them off going back and paying top dollar, when their offerings for small afternoon teas are so rubbish. Just seems nonsensical to me. We bought a decent bottle of red to go with it though, which was quite nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, no - it was shit. Italian ham wrapped smooth guacamole? Just tasted of guacamole. A slider burger with bacon? The patty was tasteless, unseasoned mince with a nice piece of bacon. 4/10 And it was 2 mouthfuls in size. Sweet potato fries which tasted of nothing but sweet grease. Stale bruscetta (sp) with a cut in half mini tomato, a bit of onion and drizzled in olive oil, boring and tasteless. Olives were ok. Brownie was nice. Lemon tarte was alright and the cheesecake was rubbish too. Dunno what the shot of red stuff was but it tasted like weak strawberry squash. Maybe it was a bad night to go..? Friday at 5pm. I expected a lot more.. even for a Groupon present (which it was). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive eaten there at night though and whilst it was a very good steak, it wasn’t anything special. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
