You can't always get what you want


















This afternoon I went to The Wosley one of my favourite restaurants in London. I love the huge grand dining room with its gothic cathedral style chandleirs. The thing I hate about this and all restaurants actually is the food. I never really want to eat anything from the menu except maybe a couple of the deserts. Today I ordered and ice cream sundae and left most of it because I dont really like ice cream. I was in Scotts last week and ended up eating chip butties for my main course. I find mid range cafes easier to negotiate.
Here are a few of my favourite places and foods.
Boorak Goldborne Road, Mezze Plate of humous, babaganoush and tabbulei
Ranoush Juice Edgeware Rd  (as above)
Carluccios, Gardineria Pasta with deep fried spinach balls
Pain Quotidien, cheese board, red fruit crumble, maybe tuna salad but mostly I dont eat fish
Snog Classic plain frozen yogurt
Laduree L'Ipisan cake and all macaroons except licorice & mint flavour
Patisserie Valerie Mille Fuille
Maison Berteaux (as above)

Be still my frozen heart


I don’t care too much for ice cream until it gets hot but then when the heats on I think about it all the time. It’s not the traditional flavours that I want either, there is nothing in Haagen Daz or Ben & Jerrys that floats my boat – those flavours are for children. My favourite ice cream flavours are malt by some hippy dippy company that sell to Wholefoods in New York which is divine but a little inconvenient. Although BA are doing a special deal for flights to NY at the moment so please send money so I can get over there and indulge soon. I love green tea ice cream the dark bitter kind you get in fancy Japanese restaurants, violet and rose ice cream from Laduree at Harrods and my local favourite is sesame ice cream from Scoop in Covent Garden, its incredible, me and my dog go there every day. They also do a fantastic shiney dark chocolate flavour as well as all the usual trashy tastes for tourists and so on.
