Hurray - quel triomphe - a historic occasion - the first ever SE1 forum dinner party has occurred!
The wines were totally fabulous - as anticipated from our group: 'the winos' - it was fun trying entirely new wines provided by Lisa, Jo and David - and the food, if I may say so, excellent. My starter, despite its trials, actually tasted very good, the main course was Marlene's pork from Ginger Pig in Borough Market with cabbage and a wonderful medley of roasted vegetables, including miniature new potatoes, garlic cloves and chestnuts, and for pud we had Sidi's brilliant and highly professional lemon tarts, presented with candied twists of lemon on top and aided by a 'flame thrower' in the kitchen - impressive stuff. This was all in the setting of our host Marlene's stylish flat in Borough, which added to the sense of occasion.
A great success and a hard act to follow, but I am looking forward even more keenly to next month now - all I have to do is solve the problem of which dessert to provide.
