Would You Order This?

[EcclesCake]

In a restaurant would this dish catch your eye?

Venison carpaccio with pomegranate seeds, capers, Parmesan shavings, baby leaves and a horseradish and lemon creme fraiche dressing?

[237SJ]

No. Too many different flavours for me.

[Prudie]

Yes, love very rare meat and horseradish, like all the other stuff too. Sounds very tasty.

[jourdain2]

Yes, it would, actually.

[Dizmo]

I wouldn't order it with the parmesan shavings as that doesn't do justice to the deer.

[lardhelmet]

What are baby leaves when they are at home?

[Tilly2]

No, I'd go for the smoked trout.

[Psybbo]

Yes I'd try it

[Dizmo]

I'm going to walk away before I get involved in a full-on-food-war.

[EcclesCake]

Hmmm, the Parmesan may be a step too far as with the capers the dish already has a salty element and with the creme fraiche dressing the light colour isn't really in demand but Parmesan is a classic with beef carpaccio.

Dive buddy, you must have had some really appalling experiences of carpaccio!

[anneasquith]

it's bambi !!!!!

[Psybbo]

Divebuddy, I've had it in the River Café and it was really lovely

[EcclesCake]

Baby leaves, micro leaves, shoots all terms for salad leaves that have just sprouted and are all cute and dinky as opposed to a bloomin' great wedge of the evil iceberg lettuce dumped on the plate.

[Slapshot]

OMG Yes!!!!!

[lardhelmet]

Thanks Eccles.

[DTCwordfan]

Yes - as long as the venison is served rare and juicy, i.e. been allowed to rest properly.

[Dizmo]

How many more times.... you don't need the cheese!

[FrogNog]

Venison *shudder*.

[237SJ]

I think the pomegranate would go with the venison. I`m not sure about lemon creme fraiche dressing though. I don`t really think of robust meat and lemon together.

[Tilly2]

I'd still go for a fishy option as a starter.
