A very British Seaside Lunch
Appetiser: Prawn Cocktail, Sauce Marie Rose
Dinner: Cod or Haddock, Triple Cooked Chips, Mushy Peas, Bread & Butter
Dessert: Knickerbocker Glory, Mead Poached Nectarines & Syrup, Raspberries and Blueberries
We have been planning today's lunch for a couple of weeks and hoping the weather would be good. Originally lunch was planned for Wednesday the 8th and then changed to Saturday the 11th because of the weather. Sunday looked better and so we switched. It would be so good if we could have reliable summers. Just to be able to leave garden furniture in place would be a blessing
We still plan on only entertaining outside and will do so for as long as we can.
Today we had our local cohort of good friends, Andrew & Alison and Steve & Marion
We asked everyone to bring a handkerchief for the occasion and you can see why. We drew the line at asking everyone to wear a vest.
Prawn Cocktail, light and refreshing. It was really nice to hear comments like "I haven't had prawn cocktail for ages". That is exactly how we feel. Marie Rose recipe here
Fish & Chips with the beer batter made with nearly frozen flour and beer . Typically British, typical Seaside lunch. We also added Sweet Pickled Onions & Gherkins and Tartare Sauce
Knickerbocker Glory, basically an Ice Cream Sundae.
