Our first item is one that I recall having at MoVida Aqui and is one of their signature items. It is an artisan Cantabrian Anchovy with smoked tomato sorbet. It's one of my favourites with the divine smoked tomato sorbet, brown anchovy, tiny Lilliput capers and paper thin lacey sourdough cracker.
Huge trays of these go past us, they're one of the most popular menu items so we order a few of each of the two varieties. What is a bammie? It's a grated cassava type of flat bread and here they served them already topped-a cousin of the tortilla The pulled pork and pineapple has sauce, radish and cucumber while the prawn with mango and ginger has radish matchsticks and spring onion.

A job perk such as a corporate lunch is one of those treats that you always look forward to. And when it's lunch with nice people, where you don't need to thrash out any deals, all the better for it. Today Voldemort and I are being taken out to lunch by Y, K and Pete to Longrain.

Like the pretty girl at school, a toastie is always going to get some interest and this one has four of us wanting to order it. But lovely Cas orders the ravioli because she knows that I need a little variety for the blog. Tom and Dave order the toastie and I order a chicken salad but get half of Tom's toastie. It is full of crab meat sandwiched between buttery bookends of toast, a squeeze of lemon and some salt and the lemon mayonnaise and it's the pick of the lunches. And the fries? Well they're cutely presented in printed paper and a little floury but we'll spend our calories with the toastie.
Remembering Mr NQN's warning about there always being a cold snap free during September I recalled a winter friendly favourite. A few months ago, there was a week where all I was hearing was "have you tried that potato place?" My ears pricked up, I mean anywhere that specialises in just one thing has got to be interesting, or at least heavily invested in doing it well. There indoor and outdoor seating and plenty of potato paraphernalia inside. Mr Potato Heads in various collector's editions sit on display, potato drawings, any potato related you could think of really.
