Justifiable homicide

[susie_flo]

Had a lovely meal out last night at Vanilla Black, thanks to 

steerwho did a great job of organising.  Total yum-fest...  Ducketts Caerphilly pudding with a hickory-smoke duck egg.  Who would have thought of that?   It was v. nice to catch up with   saralourosamicula   Phil and Mark - and to find out who thirstypixelis in real life!.   (I felt sorry, though, that gothgrris missing out on her favourite foodie haunt since it headed south).

Favourite comment of the evening:   "meat is murder, but fish is justifiable homicide" (...a damning truism from Mark on the bizarre morality of pescatarians like me!)

Second favourite comment of the evening:  "Decaf!!!  What the hell is the point?  It's like food without meat, cigarettes without nicotine, shoes without heels..."   (from the girl with the latex suit.)

And in case either of them forget, I want it known that I am very much looking forward to
 a) being fed again by Rosamicula 
 b) being taught about wine by Sara Lou...  who really doesn't do cheap :-)

I won't forget again! Let's get a date and venue in the diary...
I thought I was quite restrained with the wine choices last night, actually! :-)

Excellent. Lets do it... if it's a small gathering I'm sure any one of us would happily host - or find a friendly pub with an affordable private room (or a BYO restaurant?)

I think Jane is the one of us with the most suitable venue... we should beg! A BYO restaurant is a very good idea though...

Yes Jane is nice and central, plus we can sip fine wines on a balcony while looking over the rooftops of London...

I'm pleased we found out how the smoke-poached egg was made. That was a real mystery.
