Just a bit of Friday fun.
Imagine you're in a nice restaurant.
You can only order ONE dish.
What would your order be?

Mine would be seabass with scallops and salad.

It's not Friday...

Namechangeforthiscancershit · 26/09/2019 10:00

Your sea bass sounds lovely though!

I'd probably go for mussels and chips. Lots of chips.

MoodyBitch · 26/09/2019 10:01

You're right. I meant to type Thursday.
Maybe I should change my order to sausage fingers and mashed brain 😂

Mmmm chips. Maybe I could order a few too as a side accompiment.

Always worth having a few chips.

I wish it was Friday! It's always such a disappointment when you realise it's not!

Shahlalala · 26/09/2019 10:13

So close to Friday though!

I would go for Bouillabaisse and frites on the side, preferably in France. Followed by Tarte Tatin.

Rump steak cooked medium rare with peppercorn sauce, chips and mushrooms

Tofu khatsu curry, covered in Japanese pickles

Shahlalala · 26/09/2019 10:14

Yesterday I wanted chips in gravy all day, settled for mash and gravy with dinner.

MoodyBitch · 26/09/2019 10:16

No @Shalalala
Your only allowed ONE course!
Send one back quick 😄

ONE dish rather.
Same as one course I suppose though.

I can't do it. I am moody about food, one day I might fancy steak and chips, another day it would have to be creamy lasagna. My perfect meal would never include salad though. or vegetables

Kalim8 · 26/09/2019 10:30

I'd order a vegetable pasanda with lots of sides--mini Poppadoms with raita and mango chutney, bombay potatoes, samosas, mop up the sauce with a peshwari naan and give a huge contented sigh.

Although sausage fingers and mashed brain also sounds delightful.

Shahlalala · 26/09/2019 10:30

@MoodyBitch I can’t believe I’m sending back Tarte Tatin.
It can come with frites though right?!? Otherwise I’m not sold on this imaginary restaurant.

Ginkypig · 26/09/2019 10:31

A big bowl of Dal Masalam (preferably made the day before and reheated so the flavours can develop) and a tandoori roti.

I want that really badly now!

MoodyBitch · 26/09/2019 10:36

@Shalalala
Yes, you can have frites. I'm ordering them as a side due to NameChangedForThisCancer mentioning them. 😄

I'll have grilled swordfish with fresh fig and cardomom chutney, rainbow chard and squid ink linguine in chilli and garlic oil. I had this once at the Conran restaurant overlooking Tower Bridge and have never forgotten it.

Salmon & Avocado Sushi

BalooTheBearr · 26/09/2019 11:03

Carbonara any day of the week Halo

iklboo · 26/09/2019 11:05

Same as you Moody but with a risotto verde instead of salad.

Coffeeandchocolate9 · 26/09/2019 11:10

I think I'm too working class for this restaurant. I'm ordering macaroni cheese and chunky chips with salad and ketchup (not together).

Do I get wanky hipster points because the macaroni cheese needs to be gluten free?

MoodyBitch · 26/09/2019 11:14

It's a classless restaurant.
Everyone welcome @CoffeeandChocolate9
You can have fish, chips, mushy peas and scraps served up on yesterday's newspaper if you wish. 😄

Sweet and sour chicken Hong Kong style with Singapore noodles. I would demolish that right now but can’t because I’m on Keto 😒

MoodyBitch · 26/09/2019 11:15

Hmm, not thought about wanky hipster points 🤔

There's so many delicious meals here. This is my favourite from a beautiful restaurant in Jersey. Sea bream on a bed on samphire and jersey royals with broccoli in a shrimp and lemon butter sauce.

Heavenly
