Half-term cookery fun!

It is half term this week and William's friends are away skiing and the weather is rubbish! The TV and games console has been on way too much so today I thought we'd do something more creative: design a scary three course dinner for John this evening!

First course turned out to be "Volcanic eruption" using the duck eggs we were given to us by our neighbour topped with salmon caviar with the colour of lava.

The main course we decided to call "Caterpillar surprise" since it was pork fillet medallions and black pudding slices mixed up to look a bit like a caterpillar. These were resting on cauliflower puree to keep them still and served with pan fried leek and mushrooms and a cream and tarragon sauce. The photo was too repulsive to post on here but the flavour was very good!

The best to last and this was William's favorite dish: "Eyeballs in blood soup" which was ice cream balls in strawberry puree.

William produced a lovely looking 4 page menu while I did most of the cooking.  Although William did actually did some washing up!

 But fear not, it won't appear as B&B food anytime soon, unless specially requested by 11 year old boys...
