Chestnut puree = like peanut butter* made from chestnuts. You can order chestnut butter online, if one were looking to simulate limey's experience on the home front...

*No wonder Sundae doesn't like it!

I keep forgetting to photograph the food! It's easier to remember when you're travelling alone and lonely and want to share the meal with someone!
Anyhoo, there's this champagne and caviar bar at Gatwick airport, so we thought "Why not?"

That's black caviar in the round tin on ice, served with toast, pancake, sour cream, chopped red onion and chopped boiled egg white. And pink champagne.
And yes! Sundae, it was deelish!

Green Tabasco! Is that an American chain?

zippyt · 07-15-2013, 04:58 PM

ts Jalapeno, milder than the red stuff

That looks yummy Limey !!!

So ... in preparation for the three course lunch, afternoon tea and four course dinner we're promised tomorrow we were quite restrained in our meals today.
Skimpy continental breakfast, and this passed for lunch. Coffee and cognac

And then this evening we had a little dinner. Mr L had roast chicken with a salad garnish and fries (I could have sworn I photographed this!), followed by chocolate tartufo ice cream. I had pasta with seafood and courgette (zucchini), followed by pannacotta.
I'm glad you're enjoying this report; we're certainly enjoying the food !

The photos are as delicious as the food.

Lunch - first course. The meat is suckling pig.

Lunch - main course.
Except that I think that fennel is the food of the devil so I said none for me thanks. Instead I got a little selection of vegetables wrapped round with a slice of aubergine.
You don't need me to tell you how much we're enjoying this, do you?

Why serve five macaroons at a table for two? There's been murder done for less!

We need an orient express type train over here. Maybe going from DC to NYC and then up along the Hudson river to the finger lakes and then to Niagara Falls and Toronto. That looks really classy.

limey · 07-17-2013, 11:17 AM

It is really classy. The dress code in the restaurant cars is absolutely no jeans or T shirts. Most people on the train are celebrating something and we'll all be dressed up to the nines at dinner tonight.
Meanwhile ... afternoon tea ....
