The Cinema Bookshop had the staff Christmas dinner last night - and very nice it was too. I went for the more traditional options of Tuscan bean soup, turkey and Christmas pudding. Other people had the ham hock and pistachio terrine, and the salmon on bread looked very nice. The other option was goat's cheese and salad.
The turkey was lovely and tender, with pigs in blankets, and stuffing, and parsnip, sprouts and roast potatoes, along with extra vegetables. The other options were beef brisket, vegan nut roast and fillet of hake.
As well as Christmas pudding, the options were mulled wine panna cotta (which wibbled on the plate delightfully), chocolate brownie, amaretto affogato, or sorbets or ice cream.
The wine flowed freely, and we lingered after the meal over Baileys and coffee.
Oh, and this will be remembered as "the night that Brian set his napkin on fire"! It got too close to a candle - and fortunately it didn't set off the fire alarm!
