We officially arrived in Melbourne! Everyone has been telling us for months that we will love it here. Well, they are soooo true! We have been having a blast (even if we have only been here for a few hours!), loving the city life again, seeing stores, banks, malls everything!
Tonight was date night- Tony has been planning a few places for us to eat on our first journey back to real food! The spot tonight Josie Bones an amazing place, that incorporates tony's love for pig and my love of beer! Some of you might be thinking that the next steps are, well a little out there, but, we LOVE it. Tony's philosophy of food is to use it all; all parts of all animals if not it's not worth killing.
Our menu for the night;
a tasting of pork crakling
squid ink braised baby octopus served with sourdough bread
an amazing chacutarie board- fennel seed and chilli cuired pork loin; airdired beef; prosciutto; chicken roulade with some delicious onion jam
Then we shared some more samplers-
rolled pigs head sauce garbiche and crackling
beer braised and hickory smoked ox tounge with herbs
and brussel sprouts with roasted chestnuts and panchetta
WHAT A MEAL! Amazing! An amazing first date of the vacation!
