We went for
meze tonight with some good friends. We shared a rather boring
meze for 2, which was mainly a collection of dips and ordered a few separate
meze plates to add a bit of interest. The prawns in garlic butter were rather overcooked, but dipping bread in the sauce made up for this. With flavoursome and crispy
turkish sausages, a plate of
halloumi, some goats' cheese, a plate of strange d0g-turd shaped meatballs in a bland tomato sauce and a very nice dish of mixed med veg in a tomato and garlic sauce, we had plenty of taste sensations. It was fine, but seemed quite pricey at £70 for four, with only one cheap bottle of wine and a couple of beers, a sorbet for pudding and my ice-cream.
I hadn't ordered ice-cream for pudding for at least 15 years and when it was the only thing appealing on the dessert menu, I thought I'd give it a go, for purely nostalgic reasons. The chips in the mint choc chip definitely weren't chocolate - and the wafer stuck in the middle was the usual cardboard texture, but I really quite enjoyed it and made sure the dish was clean.
