It was too easy, wasn't it?

"Suffering" a slight delay heading thru SYD to SCL - rainstorm closed airport for an hour or so. More eggs for me

Ron has that ! I prefer the corn fritters with avo and bacon.

Three superb dishes in the Pier F lounge a few nights ago: crab cakes starter, cold Korean noodles starter, and a main of Shanghai style dan mian (sp?) noodles in a very tasty peanut and chilli sauce.

Nice seafood in Singapore - from a buffet so poor presentation is entirely my issue.

There was JohnM and I, cruising up to our pub near Mendoza and he suggests dropping in on some winery for lunch.

Sounded like a plan, so we talked our way past the guard at the gate and proceeded to the O'Fornier winery:




There we were met by a delightful young lady who insisted on giving us a tour of the place (another thread!) and a taste of some of their plonk (sigh). Then we had lunch.

This was the view (that's snow on the high Andes for the uninitiated).



A 6 course degustation menu - started with two appetisers - Parmesan foam with chardonnay caramelised onions in wonton dough, then sausage balls in sausage sauce and (very!) fresh oregano.




Then soup: "Maize textures" - foam, soup and grains. Then my main - twice cooked ragout in polenta cream.




Torrentes sorbet and Malbec poached pears with vanilla ice cream in a caramel basket to finish.




Everything was just wow. A$100/head for tour, tasting, 6 course degustation with matching wine in a superb location.

Of course there was matching wine, but this is the food thread.

Well my mouth has fairly exploded with saliva and puts todays chicken and cheese toasties to shame (no, I'm not putting up a photo - doesn't do justice to this thread).

Fantastic post RooFlyer and JohnM
