Did you know that we are not just the Foodie Boys, but we are also Foodie Boyfriends? As in, we have girlfriends – not that we are going out with each other. Nothing wrong with that or course, but unfortunately Tony feels uncomfortable when a man comes within two feet of him. As in, stands near him, not ejaculates. I think a stranger ejaculating within two feet of anyone would be somewhat disturbing.
We digress. With girlfriends (did we mention we have girlfriends?) come commitments (as in commitments arise, not ejaculating commitments – although that is sort of part of the package) including trips away for the weekend.
Tony does Bath
Ah, Bath! Who doesn’t love a bath? Well, me for one, I prefer a shower. I actually find the idea of baths quite horrid – sitting for an hour in hot water surrounded by your own muck. Vile.
The city itself is far from vile, it’s actually rather pleasant.
On Friday night we headed to the Olive Tree restaurant. I’d enjoyed some excellent banter with them on Twitter.com so was really looking forward to this.
Thinking that our online friendship might buy me favour when it came to the bill we ordered Chris Cleghorn’s signature menu with wine pairing.
Unfortunately I was mistaken and received the full priced bill. Even more unfortunate is that I can’t seek revenge by writing a scathing review because it was really bloody great. #BloggerFail.
The standout dishes were: the turbot with smoked eel and fried mushrooms; and the veal pictured below.

They also let us swap the dessert we were supposed to receive for one on the other menu. The muscovado mousse, milk chocolate sorbet and salted caramel.
“The mousse is lovely. The thing encasing it reminds me of an Aero.” I remarked.
“Yes, I suppose you’re right.” My GIRLFRIEND answered enthusiastically.
“I like Aeros,” I continued.
“Yes, I know you do.”
“I watched a thing about how they get the bubbles in them on TV recently.”
“Yes, I was sat next to you.”
“Were you? Are you sure?”
“Can we get the bill please?”
This was the veal dish
Aero type chocolate dishThis meal really was excellent and the wine and service were great too.
Four and a half boys out of five.
