For my special birthday surprise weekend away my friends took me to Slough, where we had a cup of coffee at the Costa in the Queensmere shopping centre! Then we hadlunch! Then we went home!
My favourite was the salmon poached with liquorice, because it looked so stunning. When it's put down in front of you, the colours are black, beige, and cream. The liquorice coating means the salmon is a beautiful black square. Then you cut open the salmon, and when you can see inside that, you realize that you haven't noticed the grapefruit cells dotted around the plate, which are the exact same colour as the salmon. It was so exquisitely beautiful. Honestly, I almost forget to remember to notice how it tasted (wonderful).
Plus, it came with artichokes and I adore artichokes.
That sounds stunningly beautiful. I've had some food where it's an amazing pleasure to look at it, as well as eat it, but that sounds as if it's in a class of its own for looks, as well as taste.
