I don't mean to go on - but I will anyway - but the Hungry Duck in Berry is officially the best restaurant in the world ever! Ever! Mystical Roo and I leapt on the chance to use our gift voucher and booked ourselves a table for two on Thursday night. It was perfect. Eating the most amazing food, drinking a nice glass of wine (no Lambrusco in sight), chatting with my Mystical Roo; all of this for two and half hours. We had our first experience of raw fish in the form of tuna served with wild wasabi and fish roe. I like to think of myself as an adventurous kind of foodie and so dove straight in. It was beautiful. So flavoursome. The perfect taste and texture. After that we had a tempura zucchini flower with a soy dipping sauce. Divine. Then - possibly my favourite dish - the amazing pork dumplings. Words cannot describe the taste of these heavenly morsels. Then we were on to a serving of king fish and a side dish of green beans with cashew nuts and a buttery sauce that tastes so good I had to step away from the spoon just to stop myself from drinking it. We then had an alpaca - yes that's an alpaca - curry. Who knew you could eat alpaca. Well apparently you can. And yes, it's delicious! I'd liken it to duck. Tender and tasty. We finished the evening with a dessert both sweet and light and amazing. Mine came in the form of a trifle. Mystical Roos was...well I can't remember. But I remember the taste! And it was good. We topped all of this off with a rather special cup of coffee before heading home for the night. It was a dining delight! If you weren't hungry when you started reading this, I bet you are now!
Positively drooling. But alpaca curry?
