Bon Appetit!

Our French teacher has been telling us about a catering college at Souillac for some time and on Friday we decided to go and investigate. We were given the menu and decided that the meal for Friday evening looked great, sorry fully booked. Never mind the one for Tuesday evening looked good and we were full of enthusiasm so we booked. When we got home Betty said "will we get there in time" as we had to pick June and David up from Limoge airport. Whoops we had booked for them but forgotten it was the day they were arriving. Well we arrived on time to this 5 star restaurant , we just couldn't believe that it was decorated like a really good restaurant and the food was fabulous. June says I'm not to tell you about it because you will all want to go.

We had mis en bouch with our apero which was courgette cream served with a little tartlet.
Then a starter of Quercy salad (foie gras, nuts, duck fume etc.) It was enormous.
Followed by a special scrambled egg served with a very special cheese straw.
The main course was braised fillet with turned roasted vegetables, and a dreamy flavoured sauce.
The dessert was plum tart decorated with a sugar basket in which was spiced ice cream and then it was surrounded with a spicey sauce (very Yummy)
The "cafe" order was a little complicated, 2 espressos, 2 coffees with milk and then June had "Lime infusion" - as in tree - but she was convinced that they had forgotten the "infusion", however the hot water was fine. Accompanying this was little cream pots some topped with cassis and blackcurrant, others with pear and vanilla and then there was an array of petit fours and homemade nougat. We were determined to push it all down!
All this was served by a charming redheaded young man and it was £12 a head plus 10 euros for a bottle of wine!!
