Eating Out in Hay

It's always nice, when the Young Man comes, to eat out for a change.
This time, we started off at the Blue Boar, where we drank Old Hooky beer with a Morrocan lamb tagine and cous cous. The Young Man has a Morrocan friend, who has introduced him to real Morrocan food, and he said that the Blue Boar version was very good. It was certainly tasty.
On Thursday, we had lunch from the Falafel stall at the market. The Young Man tried their falafels at Mallyfest last year, and still thinks they're the best he's ever tried.
In the evening, we went up to Blue Indigo for curry. I think they have a different chef from when I was last there, because the chat massalla was nice, but not the taste sensation I remembered. Still, as the Young Man said, he doesn't think they could turn out a terrible meal if they tried! It's been a while since he went out for an Indian meal, and he thoroughly enjoyed it - and we were too full to have a sweet.
On Friday, we had lunch at the Old Electric Shop, because we were curious about what a Buddha Bowl might be. Very tasty, is the answer. It's a vegetarian meal with a balanced set of ingredients. Ours had kale on the top, and pieces of avacado, and some sort of grain at the bottom, with a dressing. I wasn't sure if I'd like it (I tried avacado years ago, and hated it) but this was lovely.
And finally, we got a portion of chips to go with our Welsh Dragon sausages one evening, too.
The Young Man said that he's glad he doesn't live here - all that good food available all the time would make him pile the pounds on!
