TABLE TALK #110
Some national days (yes we're looking at you
Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day) we struggle to keep up with, but the classics we love and this week they’ve come thick and fast.
So fast in fact, that this morning we were still busy combing pancake batter out our hair when we realised Valentine’s Day had snuck up on us and we were woefully underprepared, no restaurant reso in site.
Dreaming up delicious alternatives is sort of our bread and butter though, so undeterred we’ve come up with a plan.
Introducing Aphrodisiac à la carte.
🍝 MAIN COURSE 🍝
They say
laughter, then love so what better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day than with a deliciously nonsensical menu, made exclusively from aphrodisiacs?
Whether a couple, thruple or riding solo, the absurdity is bound to have you chuckling and that’s a great place for any evening to start.
Ready to turn your lights down low and ovens up hot? Us too.

So what’s on the menu?
Well there's lots of ways you could go, but here's our plan if you did want to poach it...
FOR SNACKING: Pistachios --> said to get your blood flow pumping, and so damn delicious
DESSERT:
Poached Pears In Chocolate Sauce --> pears (according to the trusty internet) being a shapely and arousing fruit
and chocolate containing serotonin, said to enhance mood and up stimulation

🍮 SWEET ENDINGS 🍮
All this talk getting you a little frisky? Need to cool off? How about a spot of bareskin running? Just another way of keeping February fresh.
🍷 WHAT'S NEW
FROM
WEDNESDAY'S DOMAINE? 🍷
The last few weeks have seen us bring aboard a string of indie wine shops and delis we'd been eying for a while and are beyond proud to now be stocked at.
There's
Mare Street Market Deli and Liquor Store serving up picky bit goodies right in the heart of Hackney,
Panzers the absolute treasure trove in St. John’s Wood and Newcastle's
Local LCL the corner shop and coffeehouse made by locals, for locals. And that's just to name a few.
Where else would you love to see us? Drop us a note and we'll make it our mission to make it h
