Saw St John's Restaurant on the internet, apparently it's the 'fav restaurant of chefs' -so let's see what the other -half eat I thought... A perfect B-Day present.
"Head to Tail" is their motto, that and traditional English cooking. I had perused the menu so I did know what I was getting into as we approached Smithfields Market (London's major meat market), the restaurant's gigantic neighbor.
Our meal...
Brown Crabmeat on Toast
Duck Hearts, Watercress & Pickled Walnut (*)
Snail, Sausage & Chickpea
Roast Middlewhite, Trotter (the top of pigs feet) & Prunes
Eccles Cake & Lancashire Cheese (*)
Jam Rolly Polly
It was really good.!.!. The duck hearts actually being one of the most delicious items.Hey, at least we didn't order the 'Blood Cake & Fried Eggs" or "Kid Faggot & Braised Red Cabbage" (which is simply goat meatballs and cabbage- but sounds like a punk of a Garbage Pail Kid).
A picture of da' hearts for ya!!
