One mans gourmet is another mans gut-churner


Philippa and I went out for a meal tonight. This is a genuine word-for-word description of something we could have ordered:

Beetroot & Butternut Squash Risotto:
“A mix of giant cous cous & quinoa with beetroot, roasted butternut squash, kale & pumpkin seed in a light creamy crème fraiche, white wine & lemon sauce. Served with rocket & garlic bread.”

That sounds to me like someone took every possible ingredient that might be attractive to a middle-aged health-conscious trend-following couple and threw it all into one dish. Either that or a tosspot gastro-freak chef ingested a book by Heston Blumenthal and then masturbated onto the menu. 

I had soup and a curry.
