A Question For You Gourmets, This Friday Evening.....

[DTCwordfan]

As above.

Take one round of golf over 18 holes of a relative mountain goat course...rather beautiful, though it left me bushed.

Then in nungate land, farm duck breast, sautéed for 3 mins a side, 10 minutes rest, sliced and mixed with shallots and cherry toms that have also been sliced off, a smidge of rosemary, plenty of black pepper and into fresh pasta, along with a green blé salad, blé, touch of rocket, watercress and rocket, a home-made dressing of Scots honey mustard, maple syrup, basalmic and the a reasonable olive oil with chives........the salad also to go with a nice, 'melting, Somerset brie, ash goats cheese from Moody's, dolce gorgonzola and Saint Vernier, a wine washed cheese, the question is what dessert should I think about?

I have my ideas, the best answer to that appeals most...........no bananas though, as Lady J also endorses and many know.

The wine a bottle of organic Terra Viva Merlot, from Waitrose Morningside, and very 'soft'.

Look forward to the responses.

No, pretty boser, Chuck......am enjoying the delights of East Scotland.

[ummmm]

Someone take that platform away...

[DTCwordfan]

That means that it is likely to be in stock in Cornwall, emmie.......

[Wharton]

Are you the guy in the gin advert who can detect oyster shells?

[emmie]

? Wharton - I do like these though, they make for great pressies - almost as good as roses if sqad is still on and post the Leith AB gathering....

Enjoy your time, psybbs, though there is a few days yet before you leave your shores.....

[anneasquith]

LOL @ Wharton. enjoy your pasta n duck with a salad, :)

[DTCwordfan]

As to ummmm, who was left behind in the Waverley station? - though Albs and Kate had some trouble getting back to Weegie-land, an accident slowing things down on the M8, I understand.

[Psybbo]

Have a Lagavulin instead of dessert, enjoy x

[DTCwordfan]

Now you may be talking there, sibs.............wonder if there is a bottle stacked away. A Calva and an apple tarte-tatin would have sufficed but that may top it. The Crachanan was a good idea though....

[ummmm]

//As to ummmm, who was left behind in the Waverley station?//

I don't understand the question!!

[DTCwordfan]

And I didn't understand your remark..... :-)

Tarte Tatin with a touch of Chantilly cream. Lush !

[DTCwordfan]

That I agree with, flumpy, all that wonderful caramel coming off the tarte.....yumm, and it's coming into apple season.

[Wharton]

It's cranachan - and don't put a good malt into it.

[tamborine]

Wuvly jellied eels followed by cod chips @ local takeway & Lidls easy scoop ice cream --- £7.50 but will last me 3days ;)

[DTCwordfan]

that is true, Wharton......my slip of the fingers! And I agree as to the whisky.

Had a very nice haggis, neeps and tatties, in that order mounted in a cooking 'ring' at the Glen golf club, a delish whisky and pepper sauce over it - that wasn't a Malt either....

[flump1]

DT, I can always make a little space for that pudding ! I had jelly this evening and am now feeling hard done by !!

[nungate]

If you are going to have a whisky, may I suggest a good lowland malt?
Glenkinchie distilled a few miles from nungateland, and the distillery is open for visitors ......
