Stewart's at Brookleigh

[gemfyre]

Seeing as -
a) Valentine's Day fell on weekday, so Matt had to work during the day.
b) Valentine's Day fell on a Thursday, and we needed to do some shopping
and c) It's impossible to get a booking for anywhere on Valentine's Day unless you plan well ahead -

we decided to go out tonight instead. I wanted a steak of some description. I ended up getting a duck and porcini risotto while Matt got chicken breast stuffed with mango and prawns. We also decided to get a starter - Venison chorizo, which was interesting, but a little too hot for me. We ended it all with a Bombe Alaska, the orange syrup on it was divine.

The place was nice, the service was good, but they sure don't teach the waitresses anything about food. Among the specials apparently there was "cool-iss" (coulis) and "choreezo" and our desert was a "bombay alaska". We had to hold back our giggles until the poor girl had left. She was great, but a little education would go a long way.

...okay, so that's how I pronounce chorizo, and the only way I've heard it pronounced. what's the correct way?

what's the correct way for all of them, because they are the only way I've hear them too

Nice steaks at Hippo Creek, down at Scarbourough, at the West Beach Lagoon. Real carnivore's den though, be warned if you're in company with vegetarians, they have token dishes.

Nice steaks.
