What I ate today - the food thread

Back to the Dicky Beach surf club for lunch.
We first shared a dozen Coffin Bay oysters with Ponzu.

Really nice.
Then Mrsdrron had the roast lamb. The lamb was excellent.

And I had the biggest Osso Bucco I have ever had. But tender and tasty.

So unusually there was a Monday function this week, back at the Sofitel:

Food was great but service was poor. At my table of 6, I was the only one to get Barra for main - all because my RHS seat mate had a crustacean allergy - that threw the servers into a spin on both courses, with our table being under delivered by 2 meals both times.
 
Had a colleague recommend Messina so as I was dropping my son at QPAC tonight for a Peter Hellyer play, I spent 10 minutes in the line at the Melbourne Street, South Brisbane store:

I’ll admit both scoops were lovely - Pear & Rhubard (tasted the pear but not the sweet tartness expected with Rhubarb) as well as Coconut and Lychee. $8.90 was good value.
