Birthday Treat

Dressed in our best we turned up on time,  the table had been reserved but it was at the end next to a driveway so we opted to go inside instead. I chose to have a sample menu consisting of 3 spit roasted meats - beef, lamb and pork, Steve went for the big one involving a roll with some sort of cream cheese starter, a main course of beef, pork, lamb, chicken and chorizo sausage and to finish grilled fresh pineapple  Again these were all spit roasted but with different spices and sauces, all in all there were 11 different dishes but he reneged on the chicken heart so he only eat 10. Along side of this there was a list of side orders from which he could choose 5 and then to top it all he could ask for as many slices of meat as he wanted and reordering the side dishes was no problem. The waiters were very good, they kept an eye on what was being eaten and just before he finished one variety of meat they came with a massive squewer with the next meat on it and carved it at the table. I sampled little bits of his meat and helped out with the side orders but as I had my own generous portions to contend with.

Now let me tell you about the drinks, Steve had a beer, I had a mojito or a sort of mojito. The waitress said that the 3 cocktails listed were all the same apart from the spirit, one was voka, one white rum and I can't remember the third but they all consisted of crushed mint with sugar, ice, the chosen spirit and lime juice.  I said "and then topped up with soda water to make a mojito" to which she replied "whats a mojito and no soda, just lime juice". Feeling brave I said I would try one and even though it nearly knocked my socks off it was the best mojito I've ever had. Well you just have to don't you, have another that is! Its a good job that the restaurant closed and we were back in our room by 9.20pm because if I had had the opportunity to have a third non-mojito cocktail Steve would have been carrying me home
