After a quiet week so far, lunch today was a reunion with three lovely people I worked with over 10 years ago. They were all very sensible and stopped working well before retirement age and have become, what I can only describe as Golden Globetrotters. They travel the world, do charity work, visit the gym, swim, go to the Proms and generally seem to have a fabulous time. Anyway, I'd booked a table at Prix Fixe on Dean Street East (www.prixfixe.net/london/restaurant/index.asp) as they advertised a two course lunch for the bargain price of £8.95 and I was thinking about the 'poor pensioners'. There was a good choice of starters and mains but I decided to be vegetarian with 'chick pea falafels'. Personally I thought they were always made with chick peas so thought the description a little long winded although I am sure someone will tell me they can be made with other things. Or maybe they did it in case people didn't know what a falafel was and so thought they'd provide a clue. Anyway they were lovely and crisp and served with hummus, aubergine shakshuka (I had to check the website for this one) and tahini. My main was a huge bowl of pasta which I couldn't finish. With house wine at £13.95, you really can't go wrong. The service was good and a lovely time was had by all. I am now just counting the days until I can join them!
NB: I am pleased to report another follower at last: and an international one at that. It's just a shame her mother doesn't follow suit and sign up too!
