Chilly Melbourne evening and I am happily relegated to sous chef

Mr Flyfrequently cooked his Crispy Pork Belly.
He hasn't done one since I triumphed with my #1 Christmas Ham #2 Soft Pork belly in the "Pork three ways" challenge on Christmas Day.

Will give him kudos to last night's effort

Sunday lunch at Tziki Bar, Forest Glen. Started off with whitebait.


Then the Sunday special slow cooked lamb shoulder platter.


We also had the roasted cauliflower salad as we love it.


Two thirds of the lamb is now in our fridge ready for roast lamb sandwiches with mint jelly.

I was going to ask how many people that meal was supposed to serve. Huge!

 

[drron]

Yes it's huge. The platter is a Sunday special at $69. A bargain. Previously the $69 Sunday special was all the accompanying elements but 300 Gm of the lamb. So this is what you got for $69.








So a very large increase in the amount of lamb with no increase in price.
