So, you’d think I’d have learned by now that if you want a decent photo of food in a restaurant you have to eat at mid day, take a camera, not dig in first and ensure the light is good.
Oh dear, most of our best meals in Jersey were eaten at night, in dimly lit restaurants, with the photos taken on the phone and only after we had started eating and then remembered “ooh, must take a snap of this”!
But…being an honest Chica and wanting to share the experience with you, here are the photos in all their awful glory. Suspend your reaction to the bad photos and imagine the deliciousness of the actual food. Buen provecho!
Oysters featured frequently – and often at mid day with a glass of wine, so this photo is not too bad…
Mussels in white wine and Jersey cream…
A beautiful carpaccio of beef
Duck spring rolls in a home-made pastry…
Lamb shank…
Blueberry creme brulee…
There was also a wild mushroom and puff pastry tart, a bacon hock with borlotti beans, panna cotta, cheese boards, fish pie, fruits de mer, scallops…but if I tell you that the photos above are the best of a truly bad bunch…well, you get the picture.
So…I’ll leave you with a few more scenic shots and we’ll move on back to the cooking in the next post.
