Pappa Cod must apologise for his lack of blogging but well the end to 2009 was all a bit fraught and now the start to what is now commonly known as "Twenty Ten" has been challenging for a number of reasons... The UK has certainly not seen snow like we are currently seeing for many a year and with a good coating of the "white stuff" still linger half way through the month it has put paid to a kick start to the year that seemed to be on the cards. We can only hope it begins to thaw and allow life to get back to a semblance of normality.
Some highlights to the end of 2009 for this old fish was a dinner at Le Cafe Anglais...much enjoyed for a starter was a fish quenelle that was a classic - a light earthy flavour and delicate texture had me enraptured.
Then just before Christmas I paid a visit to Zurich in Switzerland that enabled me to visit some old stomping grounds and partake in some Swiss hospitality and efficiency! One place that had me amused was the equivalent of Harrods on the infamous Bahnhofstrasse in central Zurich - Globus... Here they were having a special promotion that was a British Christmas throughout the store... what amused me most was the Cafe menu that is shown above...
You will have to read it carefully but suffice to say the locals were tucking in with relish but at 10:30am in the morning it was not my ideal breakfast!
Someones research had not been totally thorough and correct.
Anyway Pappa Cod will promise to try and blog a shade more frequently and enlighten you more in "twenty ten" honest....
