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?

[woofgang]

aserisked word rhymes with "mods"

[Slapshot]

You could do the same with Tuna... coat it in crushed peppercorns, sea salt chili flakes then sear it all round, cut it very thinly and serve as above

[Barmaid]

Yes I'd scoff it - sounds lush. Can you post the recipe, please?!!!!!

[DTCwordfan]

and very good it can be too.... ^

[Mick-the-Miller]

Sounds like a decent appetiser - what's for the Main Course?

[Old_Geezer]

Meat with fruit and leaves ? It's wrong for both mixing main course with dessert, and then for adding plant leaves ! It'd catch my eye probably, but i think I'd be searching for an alternative.

[Peter Pedant]

yeah if someone else were paying.....

[DaisyNonna]

Dread to think of the cost

[BlackadderV]

I couldn't afford venison, it's far too deer.

[Mamyalynne]

I'd eat it most definitely - am having venison tomorrow.

[DaisyNonna]

dear deer.

[pastafreak]

I'd definitely give it a go. Though my first foray into venison many years ago was not good...and I've only eaten grill steaks since then...this sounds intriguing. I love all the various flavours.

[sandyRoe]

No. I'd be intimidated in a restaurant that offered the likes of that.

[sandyRoe]

The waiters might sneer at me when I drank from the finger bowls

[DaisyNonna]

Too rich for me

[sandyRoe]

And me. The greasy spoon's £5 all day breakfast is more in my line when I eat out.

[DaisyNonna]

Meant cannot tolerate too much dairy

[sandyRoe]

Can you still get an all day brekkie in London for a fiver? Probably not.

[BlackadderV]

I had to look up the word carpaccio.

Although I am fond of rare beef I draw the line at purely raw meat. I was once sat in a Parisian café when a customer ordered steak tartare, raw mince topped with the raw yolk of an egg. Naturally he was an American. The waiter did his best to explain to him in broken English what it was but he was adamant he was going to have it. He had one mouthful, gagged then summoned the waiter complaining that the meat was not cooked. I was ill with laughter.
