Buon Compleanno To Me [A Week Early!]
December 22, 2005

Sam took me to Antonio Carluccio's Neal Street restaurant last night for an early Birthday meal and tipped them the wink that it was my birthday. They obliged with this plate, complete with Happy Birthday, written in chocolate, and Italian!... with our two glasses of port on it. I guess I would have made life easier had I not ordered the cheese and they could have brought out a Tiramasu or something with a candle in it - But what the hey - It was a fantastic meal in a lovely restaurant with incredibly friendly staff. I had...

Anti Pasti - Carpaccio di manzo con insalata di porcini e grana [beef, porcini and parmesan]
Primi - Pappardelle con funghi e prosciutto san Leo [pasta, ham and mushrooms doesn't do it justice!]
Secondi - Fagiano Tartufato [that's boned pheasant roasted and served with braised savoy cabbage, chestnuts and truffle sauce to you]

Sam had Mozzarella di Bufala con Pomodorini al forno, something pumpkin like and Sella di cervo al forno [venison in a morel sauce].

A couple of wines that I can't recall right now and a selection of cheeses and port... which came served up on a plate complete with the Birthday greeting, as pictured... Ahhhh!

This birthday is going to last a while - Like all across Christmas!

There was a slight dampener to the evening - Caused by a crap cocktail barman in Freuds on Shaftesbury Avenue managing to throw an entire "Cheeky Monkey" over me whilst shaking it... Which meant that I smelt of bananas for the rest of the night! Did get drinks on the house though.
