OK, so after just finishing a post about a great, excessive lunch only a few days after a period of time known for excessive consumption of food and drink, what would make sense to write about next? More food, of course.
I just spent the morning hitting up M-town for sales bargains (40% at Ben Sherman? Hello...) and was meeting J-star for lunch. Away from the major shops, the streets were rather quiet and we were feeling rather indecisive about our lunch venue. Feeling extravagant since my credit card had been slipping so easily out of my wallet all morning, I suggested we walk past one of the happiest places on earth... Becco. If you like classy, well-made Italian food in a stylish venue, there are few places around nicer than Becco.
A short review this time...
Main course - Tagliata; char-grilled rare porterhouse with capers, spanish onion and wild rocket (accompanied by a rocket, radicchio and cherry tomato side salad). A heavy duty red meat dish, with the porterhouse cooked to a nice rare to slightly medium rare consistency, with a nice charred, peppery crust.
Dessert - Vanilla pot with passsionfruit jelly. A small pot of vanilla bean-flavoured custard/pannacotta/mousse "stuff", covered with a layer of tangy, thick passionfruit jelly. Delicious.
I love food. I love holidays.

Maybe I should have you and J over for dinner sometime. We made pannacotta with mulled wine sauce for Xmas dinner (along with 4 other desserts). Would be nice to get some appreciative guests.
Sounds like a dessert-heavy Xmas meal!
(Were your guests not appreciative of the food ???)
Dinner would be great.
