Diner Voyeurisme
Been meaning to go to Jesmond Dene House restaurant for a while now so we went along. There's a new French chef there with an unpronounceable name. His food left me speechless. I've been waiting to see a menu with our wonderful pease pudding on so I had to try the scallop wrapped in bacon with pease pudding. Very geordie-french, loved it. Best of all was to follow, a duck breast which melted like candy floss, with a duck leg confit. The service was precise, so it should be as the Frenchman has requested a webcam to see his food arrive at your table.

Pudding times 2
I gave some modern Spanish cuisine a try at Grado restaurant in Manchester at the weekend. Some very clever, delicious, inspiring food, we opted for a tapas so we could keep it coming. Like myself, a good looking dish each time, including the most succulent black pudding (from Spain so the manager told me) I have ever tasted, served with a fried duck egg in a red wine vinegar. It tasted like a really posh breakfast, imagine waking up to that. Our pudding was just as intelligent, a chocolate dome, alcohol poured over it and set alight at our table which peeled back the dome to reveal a chocolate fondant. Wow, just like an adult kinder egg.
