On Saturday night, we got dressed up and went to dinner.
In England, scallops have this whole other part. It's weird, but it actually makes sense because the former amateur marine biologist in me never understood how what I always thought of as a "scallop" could possibly sustain life.
In this picture, the weird part is hiding.
There it is!
According to Matt, this extra part is actually banned in America, either by the FDA or by all the shipping companies that don't want to deal with it. It tasted fine. As you can see, it wasn't my favorite. Also, the crowd was kind of awesomely weird--spaghetti-strapped teenagers going to some kind of private party, lots of old English people, and a Russian (I assume) dude who looked like Victor Krum, dressed in a full-on red Russia-branded tracksuit. Le Cafe Anglais: Two thumbs up! I didn't take a picture but the salsify fritters were the best. Also, the fennel sausage. Gone too fast to photograph.
i forgot you bought the shoes! i'm glad.
