Now, I won’t actually be making this tonight but maybe next year will do it in a kind of retro way, perhaps even as a week of decade-themed menus. But this, to me, is the ultimate Noughties menu, preferably served in an organic Gastropub. Perhaps The Duke of Cambridge in Islington? Surely the most Noughties of all restaurants. And not a Turkey Twizzler in sight!
Sourdough Bread with Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Sea Salt – served with pre-dinner drinks
Sharing Platter of Prosciutto, Chorizo, Humous and Queen Olives – the Med merged in the Noughties!
Line-caught Mackerel Paté with (more) Sourdough Bread – note ‘line-caught’ only here!
Pork Belly or Lamb Shanks, served with Garlic Mash and Curly Kale – note there are only 2 options for main; Repeat after me, ’small menu = fresh food’. Thanks Gordon.
Melt-in-the-middle individual Double Chocolate Cakes – hmm, come to think of it, does the oozing M&S ad sum up the decade in fact? Oozing seems appropriate for most of the Noughties excess and decadence.
What other dishes would you put on a Noughties menu?
