A day off from all the boat jobs and mundane housework.
Coffee before we set off then a Maxi ride to the Trinidad & Tobago Hospitality and Tourism Institute. For just £12.50 (plus wine) we had an eight course lunch.
Nibbles (a small flavourful nan bread) and the house cocktail Moccha & Milk, which turned out to be rather like Iced Baileys.
The theme was ‘Indian’ and had the usual Trinny interpretation of food. Appetisers were Samosas. Beef with Sweet Peas & Cauliflower Pakora and served with Tamarind & cucumber Raitas.
Soup - Cream of tomato sambar with cumin, chilli flatbread.
Salad. A combination of cranberries, coconut, carrots, purple & white cabbage, tomatoes and cashews with a coconut curry yoghurt.
Fish. Almond & coconut crusted snapper fillet with tomato & turmeric broth.
Pineapple mint sorbet.
Pork Loin braised in tomato based curry sauce, with Bombay Aloo fused with mustard seeds.
Chicken Tikka Marsala. Chicken braised with sprigs of cinnamon & cloves, in a basket of light flakey pastry. Served with Basmati rice.
Dessert. Three Ways Slide. A trio of pistachio & banana yogurt/gulub jamlin/peanut butter fudge.
Malcolm had the Pork , I had the Chicken, on out return to ‘Piano’ we had a cup of Tea before a laze by the pool. Sundowners without alcohol, a game of Crib then back to bed.
