Food pics from London

Pic related, todays menu.

[Anonymous No.6426201]

Not on the menu: Chicken liver parfait with blood orange.

It was disgusting.

[Anonymous No.6426218]

Amuse Bouche:

Jerusalem artichoke mouse, powder and crisp, with peanuts and parsley oil.

Decent

[Anonymous No.6426224]

Artichoke, fennel, creme fraiche.

The fennel was excellent. Lightly pickled in a nice sweet vinegar. That dill puree was a bit over powering though. And the green disk added not one single thing to the plate.

[Anonymous No.6426236]

Mackerel, tomato, miso, quinoa

Mackerel was cooked perfectly. Those tomatoes had no place on that plate though. Confused me a little.

[Anonymous No.6426252]

Sea trout, brassicas, pink grapefruit, pearl barley.

Not a good dish. Sous vide fish isn't very nice. A bit mushy. Romanesco broccoli pretty bland. Cauliflower cous cous not great.

[Anonymous No.6426264]

Roe deer, beetroot, cocoa, peanuts.

Excellent deer. Beetroot nice, and peanuts worked very well, as did grapes. Cooked perfectly. Would eat again.

[Anonymous No.6426282]

Pre dessert:

Coconut mouse, passion fruit sorbet, crumble.
Mouse a bit plain, good sharp fresh sorbet. Not bad as a pre dessert.

[Anonymous No.6426284]

Instead of making a British fuss about it you could go to a decent Brasilian Churascurria.

Us colonies are be good at shit including mutilating English.

[Anonymous No.6426291]

Dessert: Rhubarb, lemon, almond, yoghurt.

The dish of the night. Sharp rhubarb, sweet yoghurt mouse. Sweet and crunchy almond brittle. Soft and sticky meringue. Sharp lemon curd.

>Sous vide fish isn't very nice. A bit mushy.

it isn't always. a lot of places do it too long. if you brine it beforehand and hit it for like 20 mins it can be really good.

I had a glass of NZ sauvignon blanc. Don't have the money to go big on wine, nor do I really have the knowledge.

[Anonymous No.6426320]

>>6426293
I've had it 2 or 3 times now. It wasn't too offensive, but each time I still think it would be better pan fried.

I actually think NZ offers pretty good value for money. Most of the Sauvignon I've tried from there has been decent. Not really a big wine drinker though.

I don't remember what the cuts of deer were, but under that leaf is some shredded deer that had been braised, pressed and then pan fried in a disk. There is roasted beetroot with peanuts on top, a beetroot mayonnaise, some sticky grape. Bottom left is a little disk of beetroot gel/jelly. That was pointless and added nothing at all.

Thanks Captain Obvious, do they give you commisions in the NZ navy for stating the obvious or do you have to work extra hard at it?

Maybe it takes belief in carbon credit trading.

[Anonymous No.6426381]

>>6426320

i don't see either method being better than the other, just different. i really like ultra low temp salmon and turbot. but i agree that most of the time, a pan fry or roast works out better.

Maybe I already have one, that said you NZ faggots are pretty funny, she's laughing too. Everyone is laughing at your carbon credit shit and your national block list.

You know, because you cant control yourselves or your own children so you need the government to block websites for you.

I'm suprised that you're even allowed on 4chan. I do mean allowed... did you get points somewhere to be allowed the privilige of being able to use the internet?

No, your gf left you because you were a bitter weirdo and now you're even more bitter and rather than grow from the experience you tell yourself it was your choice to break up.

Anyway more about NZ pls. I'm amazed that you manage to even be bitter about an island chain in the south pacific. Was your porno stash all on megaupload or something?

I walked past the London five guys yesterday and was tempted to try it for the first time but I got a double cheeseburger + apple pie from Mcdonalds instead. I have a feeling this was the correct choice.

Five Guys is good, although you probably just started a flameware where people will tell you it's complete shit.

I'd recommend trying it at least once, but don't wait in a line that long for it.

Apple and honey. Different textures and flavours of those two ingredients.

Five Guys is a really good burger. Fucking expensive though. £8 for cheese burger, £4 fries, £2.50 drink.

Worth trying once so you can make your own mind up. Ive been a few times, but its not going to be regular occurrence at that price.

ive actually been saving up so i could take my parents to L'Enclume when they come visit in summer

do you lot have any good tasting menu recs?

Take a look at Marcus at The Berkeley. They currently have 'A Taste of Spring' menu. Some of the pictures i posted in this thread are from the Taste of Winter menu they ran.

Its 5 courses for £49, as was the winter menu. The food was exceptional and the price is excellent. Highly recommended.

The other set of pictures are from L'autre Pied. I got a groupon deal - 7 course taster menu for £31. Keep your eyes open for that. Worth it at that price (although I don't think its worth it for the full price of £62)

[Anonymous No.6430048]

I just attempted to read the L'Enclume menu. What a load of pompous shit.

"L'Enclume has now reached that point. The violent frequency of raw materials that are available to us dictates our offerings. These are the finest ingredients that will not wait, minute by minute imposing themselves to our stock."

Give me a break....

A friend took me to "Bo Innovation" or whatever it's called, in HK, in like 2005.

Every course was served in shot glasses. There would be like an "uni shooter" (uni, as in sea urchin roe, mixed in with some sort of liquid) for one course, and some sort of blended vegetable for another. They had serving trays of bent stainless steel with three shot-glass-sized holes in them.

It was bizarre.

Someone explain this to me. Northerners, and really anyone living anywhere that isn't London or the South, is a militant Labour voter, foaming at the mouth about fucking Westminster and how they don't care about the working man outside of London, that all of London is rich right-wing toffs. Meanwhile, in London, hipsters and cosmopolitan journalists are militant Labour voters too, tutting and rolling their eyes about the ignorant fucking retards living out in the sticks who all vote Tory, unlike themselves who are educated and therefore are left-wing.

Who is right? They can't both be right. I'm serious, the perception EVERYWHERE in the UK is that you vote Labour and those cunts in the city/country (delete as appropriate) vote Conservative. The countryside and the city can't BOTH be left-wing strongholds, else the Tories would never get voted in. Either the entirety of the Conservative votes are coming from a relatively small area of the South-East, which somehow manages to match the entire rest of the country voting Labour, or someone somewhere is lying. Which is it?

I see. So I was right, there really is a block of Tory voters in the South, only it's a lot bigger than I thought. Meaning that the London cosmopolitans and the furious Northerners are both wrong and are mistakenly aiming their ire at each other. Who knew?
