Le Boudin Blanc

Traveling over a longer period of time is nothing but pain in the arse as they would say on the British isles. It's a rather draconian experience being that long away from the missus, our home and my car. But there are highlights and pockets of great experiences as well. As tonight, when my long-time friend Manolo and I decided to try out Le Boudin Blanc on 5 Trebeck Street at Market Mews in Mayfair, London. We learned that this is a fantastic French restaurant in the midst of British pubs and Lebanese restaurants.

I started with some snails, then the rump of lamb with gratin daphnois and a fabulous chocolate tardent with vanilla ice cream. The wine was a very tasty Chianti Classico from Antionori, Tuscany. The food was superb and the service very attentative and polite without being annoying. I'm now at a stage of happiness that is hard to explain and replicate. I'm also so stuffed that I've a hard time doing anything but watching an episode of CSI on the Telly. Life can be damned good!
