It's such a cheap ingredient (50p for a carton that'd cover 4 people?). I'm so tempted to take my own little carton if I ever go out for dinner so that I have some just in case! But then again I'm trying to avoid desserts, they don't do well for the hips! Although the fresh cream on the chocolate flake frescato from Costa today was very nice ;) PS. Happy Birthday Karl's Nan ;) It’s certainly a let down at a good restaurant in my opinion. It’s such a cheap ingredient (50p for a carton that’d cover 4 people?).

Went for a family meal to celebrate my partner (Karl)'s Nan's birthday (too many apostrophes there?) and Karl had "choc fudge cake with cream" for dessert. It came with a minuscule blob of squirty cream, no bigger than a 10 pence piece. So not only was it artificial, it just wasn't even worth asking for it. I'm beginning to think it must be a conspiracy. I thought of this post this weekend!

When I took my mum out for dinner on August 20th I was really impressed by the quality of their food and the pudding was no exception. I had this meringue nest creation and it was absolutely packed with real cream, with strawberry ice cream on top full of real strawberry pieces. Now THAT is good food!
