Okay…so random piece of news is that I went out with Patrick, Anita and the gang this evening (although it was really last night as its now 5.11 am…), and we went to this Tapas restaraunt called “Shaws” on Old Fleshmarket Close. Now its pretty much my limited understanding that Tapas is generally an Italian/Spanish sort of thing, so I went hunting for Chorizo and Halloumie and all the sorts of things I had last time we ate at a Tapas place. There wasn’t a huge selection of that (although I DID get the Chorizo and hot damn it was good!), because they’ed split the menu into a list of about eight things per country/region, and then picked a whole bunch from all over the world. So in with Europe there were dishes from Asia, Africa and Australia and so on, all done Tapas style.
Then the waitress came and told us that they had managed to get some unusual items for their specials menu…

So I can happily tell you that Wildebeast is like very tender, juicy steak…Crocodile is like tender chicken but flakes like fishmeat…and rattlesnake has a gamey aftertaste but apart from that is like no meat I’ve ever tasted before.

Well….I didn’t know when I would next get the chance…did I?
