Mrs Fish: Is fridge belonging to Mr & Mrs Fish, always bare come Saturday morning? You don't know? Is the pope Catholic? Does a bear shit in the woods?
Sometimes this results in a hasty trip to the shops, sometimes a liquid lunch, but today it resulted in a trip to Montpeliers in Bruntsfield. Montpeliers offers "comfortable, stylish surroundings, classic drinks and good quality dining at a reasonable price", and although disappointed in the past, Mrs Fish does tend to agree.
There always seems to be an offer on in Montpeliers and two mains for £10 seemed not bad at all. I opted for the house salad, whilst my bearded companion went for the chicken Thai green curry. Still freshly one-tooth-less and tender gummed, I admit to having had some difficulty with the odd poke of the rocket stalks and the odd goats cheese filling (and I mean odd). However, the house salad was lovely. Creamy melting goats cheese, piquant sun-dried tomatoes, cucumber (for some reason stripped of its seeds), crisp chicory, peppery rocket and a nice balsamic dressing. Very tasty indeed. The curry was also reported to be rather good, with minor niggles that it could be more "curryish" and there could have been a little more of it. Additionally, with lots of sauce to soak up, Mr Fish would have preferred the rice and the curry to be together on the plate. Since the curry was served in a bowl and the rice on the plate, the logistics of soaking up sauce with rice were made more difficult than they needed to be, though a soup spoon was provided.
All in all, not bad. Not bad at all.
