Eating Out- Ps I'm back!

Heloo everyone! I am back after a little vacation which i shall tell you all about in the wrong order! I am glad Veggie Carrie missed my cupcake blogging! So.... Last week my little brother came and stayed with us which was fun as its his school holidays. He was very useful in keeping CutyBaby occupied as she has now reached 'phase tantrum'. Anyway, so the weather was really hot and we walked into town. One day for lunch we walked around everywhere and all the food seemed to have finished, so finally we tried M&S and for under a £10'er we managed to get a mexican chilli bean wrap, an egg roll, a pasta and spinach salad, a somosa, mango smoothies, 2 bags of tortillas and some salsa= amazing! Frankly the food was delicious, fresh, and for the price very very good and filling. I shall definatly be going there again. Now in contrast another day we decided to try a local Italian place called 'Artista'. They didnt have hardly any vegetarian options and in the end we ordered one vegetable pizza, and i ordered a pasta tagliatelli with mushrooms. Now i specifically told the waitress that i wanted it with LESS mushrooms, and their menu described it as 'Pasta with prawns and mushrooms in tomato sauce'. Ok so when the food came, the pizza was large and tasty. I tried one bite of the pasta dish and it tasty very very 'fishy' and i immediately didnt like it, prawns do not taste that fishy. After a while of picking out the mushrooms, i started to think there were other things in there apart from 'mushrooms' things that looked suspiciously like mussels!!!!!!!!!! URG all i have to say is that the menu definatly had not said it would contain other seafood, and the thought of the mussels urggggggggggggg, it was totally disgusting. And it didnt taste that good either. Moral of this story= never eat out!!!

  1. Horror shows like Gordon Ramsay's 'Kitchen Nightmares' also put me off. Stay with the cupcakes, I say!

  2. Agreed about the cupcakes! How about a nice picture of a ravishing chocolate gateau, eh? Please?
