We *really* liked the QCH box:
- all of the starter elements were exemplary, with the exception of the bread, which was just OK. The olives, cod's roe, terrine, chutney and parfait were all superb, and very generously portioned; the second half of the terrine made a lovely lunch today with some other (better) bread and a green salad
- the beef rib was excellent quality, although with hindsight it would have been even better under the grill for a few minutes after it came out of the water bath
- celeriac puree had wonderful flavor and consistency
- confit potatoes with Dijon mayo obviously great (there were three cuboids of potato each, again on the generous side)
- charred romanesco with pepper butter was exactly the sort of veg dish I like!
We were then unable to finish or continue (rare for us) so gave up on pudding, having saved some of the meat for a pasta sauce tomorrow. The fudge petit fours were absolutely delicious though.
We had the rhubarb crumble tonight. I don't like rhubarb and Mrs A doesn't like crumble, but we both thought this was excellent. Best rhubarb thing I've eaten (probably because it was very sweet).
