"PLATE"

What's on your plate today?
My plate was served in a new restaurant with great friends and a good laugh. Can there be any better?
Six of us dined at "Big spoon, Little spoon" tonight and we had a great time!
We laughed a great deal before ordering our meals and shared a few jokes at our ignorance over the culinary terms set out on the menu. Were we having lamb's arse if we ordered assiante of lamb? Was the entree a character or a charcuterie? What sort of cheeks were served with the pork belly and cheeks? How was one tiny pat of butter meant to serve all six of us? Could you lick your finger before dipping it in the salt and pepper dipping bowl?
Then we continued to chat and giggle over the main course and had almost decided not to have dessert when the waitress mentioned that the 'plate' of apple and pear crumble was "this big!" Well, John and Rick were very quick to change their minds then! So of course, not to be outdone, us four girls just had to follow suit and order the chocolate.
The biggest laugh came when the plate of crumble came out...and yes, there was a very large 'plate' but on top of the large plate was a small bowl holding the dessert! Very funny!
And very yummy!
