A Lot Felt Need Met ……….

One of Nigel and Lucy’s first ports of call during their stay in Bournemouth/Poole was to visit Hortons, to fulfil a long felt gastronomic want dating back to the last time they’d been in Poole……….

……. when it seems they’d spotted that said establishment purveyed a range of gourmet Yorkshire Pudding Wraps……..

I understand that at the time there had been much deep sighing and disappointment as they’d already availed themselves of a hearty ploughman’s lunch in a pub on the nearby quay and to put it politely they were stuffed to the gunnels, however, they’d vowed that whence they should return, they would save themselves, forgoing all other temptations, for this delicacy.

Hortons did not disappoint ……….

…… with both opting for the full roast beef with all the trimmings option including gravy.

The silence as they ate, according to Nigel, was testament that the anticipation of the year long wait was worth every single second.  Hortons indeed delivered.

Nigel is now wondering if he dare suggest to Darrell that he could possibly consider doing something similar for our 2021 Christmas dinner.  I have advised Nigel against such an idea, Darrell is very precious about how his festive bird is presented …….. and it certainly wouldn’t be in a Yorkshire Pudding Wrap, no matter how wonderful ……. but perhaps on an ordinary Sunday, who knows?

The full roast beef with all the trimmings, including gravy sounds and looks wonderful.

Yet again, you have got my mouth watering!
