Friends Restaurant

(San Pedro de Alcantara)

Today, lunch at Friends Restaurant with the (increasingly well-satisfied) kids in San Pedro de Alcantara. Maybe the best value restaurant on the planet.

Apart from divine day-marinated soy and paprika chicken wings and 'flor-de-tomate' (deep red sun ripened large tomatoes with vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, garlic and volcanic black salt) and BBq'd corn, we had a frying pan each filled with local organic hen's eggs, pata negra jamon (acorn-fed pig aged ham - sorry Rabbi), and cripsy fried potatoes covered in black truffles and truffle oil and tossed with buttery fried green peppers.

Less than £8 a portion - amazing.

We finished with a chocolate trio - chocolate mousse, chocolate ice cream and chocolate served in olive oil and salt - and yes it was delicious. I had a glass of a good 'tinto joven' red from Ribera del Duero (a young oak 'Roble'). All for the cost of less than a Pizza Hut meal.

Also - no horses were served by accident, so we were not 'saddled' with an unacceptable culinary surprise! Recession - what recession? Get out and support your local restaurants people - or else - COOK!
