I walked from our hotel at Russell Square down to St Pauls in blistering sunshine, then went for a therapeutic trip on the London clipper on the Thames then after a short jaunt to the British Museum i met the prof for a late lunch at Dishoom
Dishoom is a delight.......it also serves the best lamb chops this side of Christmas
I ate three in 12 minutes!
Did you eat the bones too? Or maybe you slipped them in your manbag for your canine family back home?
ReplyDeleteEating well, are we? Must have been tasty!
ReplyDeletethat looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteCrikey ...... I could go a few of those lamb chops!! They look ever so good but I actually prefer mine raw!! Didn't your Mum ever tell you not to eat too fast? I'm always getting into trouble for wolfing my food down.
ReplyDeleteMutton was served more often than I would have liked during my year at the South Pole; much of our food supplies came from New Zealand. Although it's been a few years since I ate it, I have no desire to taste it again... even if it's in the more tender form of lamb and prettily plated.
ReplyDeleteI also ate delicious Lamb chops yesterday. Ours were the 'butterfly' type chops, and the restaurant gave us four between three. I think they just like to see grown adults fight.
ReplyDeleteLamp chops reminds me my mother said after she wed, my dad said the one meat he didn't like was lamb chops. Thinking it was probably because no one had ever cooked them well for him, later one meal she prepared some without saying to him what they were. He ate two or three, seemed to relish them and said as much, so she told him what they were. She received a cold stare in return and was told never to serve them to him again. A few years later he deserted our family. Do you suppose there was a connection?
ReplyDeleteThe husband of a friend of mine was extremely particular about his food likes and dislikes. He would only eat pork sausage links, not patties. Same stuff, just different shape. One morning she gave him the patties. He ate them, but immediately went to the bathroom and threw up. Go figure.
DeleteA sight to give me that needed last push to outright veganism. Mind you, it's an experience I get in more practical terms several times a day when I have to feed the pussies - and necessarily have to shut my mind off while doing it!
ReplyDeleteHey, I was in London yesterday. Had lunch with my son and my brother on a rooftop in the west end. We had a great view of St. Paul's. Perhaps you were walking there just as I was looking. Goodness, it's a small world!
ReplyDeleteSeeing that puppet has reminded me how much the female puppeteer used to unsettle me as a child! You had the perfect weather for London yesterday.
ReplyDeleteArilx
You're living the high life! :)
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful! Sounds like a great walk,
ReplyDeletethe prof spoils you!
ReplyDeleteAre you staying in The Russell? A rear/side room? Aren't the windows dirty!
ReplyDeleteThe Morton .......and they are very clean
ReplyDeleteWhile your consuming we are having live lambys arriving... Autumn lambing time. So shifts for us tonight to ward off the foxes.. mums we feel are close in the lambing shed for safety.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had posh nosh as well as high brow entertaining... nice to have a fancy weekend :)
And so artfully presented. But I have to admit I was disappointed to see my favorite puppet, Lamb Chop, only to find a post about meat.
ReplyDeleteLamb Chop without Shari Lewis? Whatever next?
ReplyDeleteDishooms?? I love lambchops, they look delicious. But, Oh, what a description of the classical ballet! Are you sure Cruella the ville was part of that particular story??? We are heading for London in august, staying in the St Pancras area. So very glad you had such good days in London!!I bet you missed your tiny zoo a bit, any way? Those loving loving hearts!!
