Does the finer things include poncy food, because tonight we're having the tasting menu at a posh restaurant serving New Nordic Cuisine.
I think that deserves its own topic.
Tada!

Yes. And can you do it live? There is nothing that enhances an exquisite meal more than your fellow diner spending the whole meal on the phone.

There will be no photos of the food on this occasion, we have to be dead sophisticated tonight.

Should this be in the Brexit thread?
Is this the Norwegian option?

OK, the place was full of Americans, all snapping away, texting, preening and generally not holding their cutlary correctly, so I decided to take some photos. I will post them at a later date.
The food though was fantastic as billed and each chef brought their own dish to the table and introduced it, nice touch.

Oh, I am not jealous at all.
"Each chef"?? A tasting menu of Nordic cuisine with a different chef for each course?
Fuck you.
<Searches for envy emoji. There doesn't seem to be one. Hopefully you will realise this post is a ball of petty jeolousy, without the help of emojis>
Give a hug on my behalf to your good lady.

It's an odd optical illusion, next to some of those meals the cutlery looks absolutely HUGE, strange.

Your mini-tartare has reminded me have one of those pink salt slabs, and every time I see it in the kitchen I consider starting a thread about Your Most Useless Middle-Class Kitchen Purchase. It was a reduced to a couple of quid in one of those Bargain Shite Megashops and I had a sudden fancy to eat a steak off it... until I got it home and read the instructions for cooking on it. Life is too short. Anyway you've just reminded me it exists and now that it is Summer I think I will stick it in the fridge and eat something cold off it instead.
Did the spoon fit in the tiny Gazpacho or did you end up tipping it into your face?

Take it to a field and give it to some cows or a horse to lick?
