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.

Can't suggest anything But a round of golf on a GOAT course intrigues me is tony there?

[emmie]

Sicilian lemon cheesecake, with fresh strawberries on the side,

[emmie]

add a glass of decent champagne, dunk the strawberries in it momentarily, the tang is delicious, eat cheesecake as you go...

[DTCwordfan]

He should be, psybbo, his brethren nobbled their way through, me thinks.

Mmm, maybe, emm; you are leading, for the moment.

[emmie]

that's not that hard, there's only two so far....

[mazie]

For me a nice Raspberry Pavlova, with a small scoop of vanilla and honey home made ice cream. X

[Wharton]

Cranachan - don't forget the whisky.

[emmie]

next time you are in sainsburys find a delicious Italian red called
Marzimino, fabulous wine for not a lot of money. I Had this in Italy, in fact had a bottle each evening, sloshed but happy.

[DTCwordfan]

mmmm, now the options are flowing.....that wine, emmie, I haven't had. Thanks for the tip.

[Psybbo]

Go retro, black forest gateau

[Psybbo]

Deconstructed of course^

[emmie]

its because it wasn't readily available here, i had this several years ago and only found it by accident in sainsburys when looking for wine for a friend

[DTCwordfan]

Maybe, maybe, my taste is for something less cherry but a good idea, one worth thinking about, if deconstructed (whatever that means.....)

[DTCwordfan]

Thanks, emmie, I shall keep an eye out for that, it's one that I am unaware on....how much a bottle if I dare ask?

[april1693]

Lemon posset or tart, or a tangy orange mousse to compliment the duck main, or any apple based dessert - peak apple season now so tart, pie, etc

[DTCwordfan]

Now some one is along my line of thinking......
The other question is to open another bouteille du vin.....

[ChuckFickens]

Pissed again, DTC?

[emmie]

irritatingly this might not be one they do now, i bought some a year ago. and can't find it listed on sainsburys site. it was under a fiver.

[DTCwordfan]

When are you heading to Ecosse, psybbo....? Presume it is for an Ayr meet, or that is what Albs thought. It's a shame that we hadn't crossed with our dates over here.
