With our allotment in full production we are often eating peasant food these days. On Thursday we had Borscht for lunch, followed by our own tomatoes. For supper, we had omelette with our own potatoes and onions, accompanied by the first of the new sweetcorn - delicious! Then a dessert of blackberry and apple foraged from the hedge. All very healthy.
Friday, however, saw us at Le Maison Talbooth, a swanky restaurant just outside Dedham, to celebrate my husband's birthday.
My husband had a starter of cod followed by duck.

It is right on the riverbank affording a tranquil view of the river bend.
Whereas I chose the roast guinea fowl. It was tender and delicious.
Desserts were set out to be as pretty as a picture. This is some serious chocolate.
We ordered coffee. Even this came with a piece of theatre: a waitress arrived with a shiny black casket. Inside a choice of chocolates to accompany the coffee.
About as far from peasant food as it is possible to get.

Looks beautiful. Both the peasant food and the special lunch sound delicious.
