Random musings and general banter.

When I was on my cruise I went to one of the premium restaurants one night. The dessert was cheesecake with blueberry jus (like the carot puree, just a streak). It was a work of art! It was so posh I almost didn't shovel it down my gob... (don't worry I can act dignified when I need to)

Reminds me of when we had an office sales meeting dinner at a posh hotel. Seven courses most of which would have struggled to fill an egg cup. All about textures and flavours. Boss waxed lyrical over it. When I got home was so flipping hungry I had a couple of ham sandwiches. Next day in the office could tell we were skirting round the subject. When boss went to lunch we all confessed to being hungry. Soup, eggs on toast, beans on toast and sandwiches were the most common things we’d all eaten when we got home. Found out afterwards that with wine, it cost over £50 per head.
