Anthony Bourdaine in his book ‘Kitchen Confidential’ gives lots of advice about restaurants.
One of the main ones is “Don’t order fish on Mondays”.
The idea is that its probably been around since the friday produce delivery.
But Tony ALSO says, food is risk, you have to try things.
Well, last night I sat in a restaurant in Wembley just north of London and read…
‘Deepfried Oysters in Batter’. Fish, SHELLFISH! on a monday. But, never had deep fried oysters.
Dare I risk it?
Hmmm.
Well, if you know me at all, you know I did.
With every delicious bite, I wondered…
Will I regret this in the coming hours?
Well, I did not regret it, then or now. I woke up after a good (and uninterrupted) nights sleep.
Chalk up a point for the fatgeekuk.
