Support your neighbourhood elaborate restaurant

Alimentum, opposite the cinema just after the perpetually-roadworked bridge on Hills Road, have a pudding made out of marshmallows, honeycomb, toffee, banana icecream and caramel mousse, served in a smoke-filled preserving jar. It tastes of bonfire night with bananas.

I convinced the Geek Pizza People to be Geek Elaborate-Restaurant People this week, and a good time and fantastic food seems to have been had by all. Maybe leave a few weeks to recover from the shock of the new, then propose sushi.

We had the prix-fixe menu, so there was a choice of two starters one of which could be vegetarianised, and three mains one of which was vegetarian.

The veggie main course was a cauliflower risotto, which a couple of non-vegetarians had with every sign of enjoyment; the veggie starter was lettuce soup with the bacon left out of the smear of cheese-and-bacon stuff on the side, and generally went down very well. It was quite strikingly green.

I think we were having too much of a discussion of politics to apply any very serious critique to the food; maybe poke cartesiandaemon?

liv's description seemed valid to me.
