The Fails of 2010

[I've been needing to update my blog for a while now, but I haven't really had anything interesting enough to blog about :I Quite a few new posts will be up soon seeing as I've found a new favourite place to OMNOMNOM at The Cheesecake Shop.]


Happy belated New Year! :D Yes, I know this is very late but I've been rather busy. I seem to be 22 now, as of January 15th :] But before we go onto 2011, we really should take a look at a few of the FAILS of 2010. 


The Plough Christmas Dinner. 


Seriously, what the hell was that all about? I know we only paid about £10 each for a 3 course meal but it was pretty darn shoddy. We came here for our work christmas dinner and someone who works with me knows the owner so we got a good deal. You couldn't fault the staff and the prices but I'll let you take a look at the food for yourself. 

It started out nice enough, the bubble coated prawns with sweet chilli sauce were really nice, all crunchy and salty goodness. I'm a huge fan of prawns, especially these kind so I also ate the tails. Crunchy goodness. So after the starter I was pretty excited for the rest of the meal. My friend Charlotte unfortunately didn't have the same experience...

Mmm, tempting. Charlotte chose the garlic mushrooms for her starter and we just stared at them blankly for a moment before bursting out into fits of laughter at these sad looking balls. She took a bite out and got squirted with grease, before watching what looked like an eyeball roll out of the breadcrumbs. Fun stuff. 

Next up was the main course, what I was so looking forward to. Well, my steak had cheese on it for some reason, which wasn't on the menu, but hey I like cheese. Until I tasted it. Rubbery mild cheddar makes me so sad. The steak itself was nice, they cooked it rare like I  wanted (much to the gagging noises of my colleagues. :P). The veg was overcooked I'm afraid and the potatoes were soggy, so I was pretty disappointed. But, again there was worse. 

Christmas dinner. Heh. Looks yummy right? :I I don't think I even need to describe this.

I'd been having cravings for these for a long, long, long, long, long, long time. I mean years and years. I'd had these when I was little and always remembered liking them so I tried making my own a few times just by dipping pretzels in melted chocolate and they were always great, I'm a massive fan of saltiness in chocolate. So I ordered some off the internet, thinking I'd get something EPIC to snack on and have something to blog about. I got them from American Food UK and I was really excited but they were all stuck together and had turned white in places. 

So sad.
