Details: Chocolate Cylinder dessert with Apple Pie Ice-cream, with a cup of hot water
Notes:
Amanda and I splashed out on lunch at this posh Solihull bistro. I'd just closed a dormant account at NatWest bank so we used the closing balance of £22.40 towards our lunch. Not that it went very far towards it... The lunch deal was rather confusing because it offered a cheap price for two courses from a handful of things on their regular menu. Various lumps of meat were included but not a salad, which is surely cheaper to produce... Weird.
The cylinder thing was very odd - very heavy, like a hefty dark chocolate mouse. There were two circles of gritty solid chocolate at each end. I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do with it. Probably the best thing would be to chop it into thin rounds and share it around.
The ice-cream was delicious - and tasted like apple pie. Very clever. I only managed to eat half of the chocolate log-thing but the ice-cream was hoovered up quickly, despite the weird slate plate which was scratchy under-spoon. Not good.
