Either devouring a bottle of French Champagne (thank you Mr Mercier) while eating duck pancakes or trying Cactus Tacos -yes that's right Cactus tacos. Curious to know what they might taste like? Really they taste just like zucchini (courgette for the Brits) and are quite delicious. The main reason I decided to try them was because I had watched Bear Grylls and he said if you were ever stuck in the Mexican desert you could survive off cacti. So, I thought to try and see how it tasted so I would know if ever I became stranded and alone and hungry while in Mexico it would all be ok.
Now after eating such amazing food for two days I had an extra day (Bank Holiday Monday yea!) to try and find something else a little bit intriguing or exotic?
So, maybe not exotic but definitely intriguing, a dish grabbed my attention and the local pub only just a few hours ago. It read, Squash (pumpkin for you Aussies) and mushrooms in a almond pancake with red pepper tapenade. I think I made it a trifecta!
Looking back at the weekend had, I have to admit it was pretty satisfying. The bad thing now is the amount of spin classes to take it all off this week...
How were your food adventured this weekend?
Mr Mercier - Merci!
That's them! The cactus tacos
Half eaten - the lunch time pancakes
