underground restaurant above ground menu {ideas}

On Saturday June 13, Shuna fish Lydon is a guest chef at @MsMarmitelover's Underground Restaurant Extra Ordinaire!

Here are our ideas for what it will look like, although everything is subject to change because of availability

or whim.

bread
seeded crackers

starter
chunky gazpacho
goat yogurt granite + basil jelly
chilled fresh tomato soup, croutons

main
eggplant parmesan

salad
rocket + chicory + lemon + pinenuts

dessert
strawberry bavarois + strawberry & herb salad
rosemary shortbread, strawberry relish, ricotta mousse
strawberry granita, sheeps yogurt lebne, pistachio salad
carneroli-bay laurel pudding, strawberry salad, pistachio & rose petal shortbread

Menus are ideas, thoughts, musings, concepts, theory, themes, tradition, revolution, albums, one-offs, off the cuff, pre-meditated, conjecture, psychotic breaks, dreams, stolen kisses, drunk black outs, cock walks, demure courtship, powerplay, negotiation, vanilla lovely dovey rool arounds, theater, dance, Be Ins, walkouts, strikes, community efforts, and...

They grow in the ground, near the sea's edge, in our hearts.

I'll let you know via photos and musings how the day and night went once all is told, fed, washed, minced, chilled, forked, spooned, quenelled, poached, whisked, baked, tasted, nibbled, imbibed,

satiated.

Until next time.

Nice but, it seems like you're playing it safe with the main of eggplant parm...I thought I'd see something a bit more on the edge =) Good luck with it all, over all it is an ambitious menu!!!

Andy, Playing it safe with home made Eggplant Parmesan for 40 people-- are you joking?! This is an all day affair if you want it done right. Just the frying of the eggplant alone took @MsMarmitelover 6 HOURS!! I'm really glad she made it as the entree-- I have often made it for staff meal at restaurants I've worked because I can let a sauce simmer for hours... Try it all one day from scratch (yes, make your own bread crumbs) and you'll see it's no small task. But beyond all that-- it's amazingly worth it! ~ Shuna

I wonder if it's too late to buy a plane ticket... that all sounds fabulous (and I don't even like eggplant!) :)
