What I ate today - the food thread

[TheRealTMA]

Dinner tonight in Edinburgh, Galvin Brasserie de luxe. Bill ended up being £100 inc service charge and tip (no alcohol) so when I signed the bill, told them I was keeping the pen and I did.

If you have time, try one of Paul Kitchin's various restaurants (such as Home - Paul Kitching 21212, Home | The Kitchin, Michelin Starred Restaurant, Edinburgh, Home | Castle Terrace Restaurant, Michelin Starred Restaurant, Edinburgh) or Martin Wishart (Restaurant Martin Wishart | Leith Home) at Leith.

But where's the picture of the pen?

and what's the yellow dots with the asparagus salad - are they egg?

The meal looks amazing

 

[Denali]

We think the yellow dots was horse radish of some sort or similar, forgot to ask

Breakfast this morning.


And last night turn down service chocs.

Dinner tonight at Kyloe Edinburgh. Kyloe: Gourmet Steak Restaurant & Grill, Edinburgh

Hubby had the guest breed house special rib eye (£38) and prawns. I had individual beef Wellington. Some veggies as sides, inc beef dripping chips.








Then... Hubbys been obsessing about the passionfruit and mango dessert he had last night at Galvins. I texted the Waldorf Astoria front desk, asking if any was still available, as it was a daily special yesterday. They responded yes only one was left so he burned off some calories in running the 50 steps from Kyloe to the Astoria Brasserie and there it was, waiting for him...

It could be a play on the light but the ribeye & porterhouse look aged so would be my pick

Min 28 days aged for most and a couple were 36. Can't remember what hubby's was but he went with left hand side, second from the top.

Smashed avo, feta and pickled chilli with yuzu sesame seeds - these taste amazing!

My obligatory preflight treat. Quite enjoyed the pineapple and passionfruit combo

Yesterday’s lunch entree. We usually have our oysters natural, but these were fantastic.

EK lounge Terminal C

Looks good, but what was wrong with greater terminal A ambience followed by a brisk walk after lunch?

We had already walked 110km from plane to Dubai connect, then back. Enough exercise is too much.

Note to self: get a motorised buggy next time.

You had the shared porterhouse? We thought about doing that but I really wanted to try the Wellington.

What did you think about the steak knives? I thought they could be sharper.
