Last night, we braved the awful bus replacement service into London and went to Trinity for a very belated anniverary celebration (in the replacement bus service's defence, the home leg was good).
We had cocktails, five courses with white wine and then port / tokaji. There were the usual pre-dinner starters and warm bread rolls as well. My ones were:
Trinity Cocktail
First course: Cornish Mackerel, Cucumber Gazpacho, Labneh and Lovage
Second course: 'Hubert' Tomatoes from Provence, Cornish Crab, Lavendar
Third course: Chateaubriand of Lake District Beef 'Chasseur' (ie. lots of tiny mushrooms)
Wine: Semillon, 'Watervale', Mount Horrocks, Clare Valley 2020
Fourth course: Cheeses, quince, bagette rolls.
Fifth course: Clapham Honey Souffle, Beeswax Ice Cream
Tokaji Aszú 5 Puttonyos, Disznókő, Hungary 2013
The mackerel was little pieces in Gazpacho which I mopped up with the bread roll. The crab was the centre of the dish and very crisp, surrounded by tomatoes. The beef had a large tomato stuffed with lots of tiny mushrooms (and ran a close second for favourite). I don't have a list of the cheeses, but they gave us five including roquefort, another blue, a goats cheese and two milder ones. The souffle had the ice cream put in the middle of it and tasted very eggy. The cocktail itself was, I think, gin with two different floral vermouths. My favourite course was the crab, but it was all very good.
