Last Monday we were still in Glasgow after the wonderful
Christening on the day before. Not being home to cook just meant I had a reason to test out some vegetarian alternatives in restaurants.
I started with ordering the vegetarian breakfast at the hotel.
 |
Potato scone, fried mushroom and tomato, baked beans, poached egg and
a vegetarian sausage. |
This was actually so good that I ended up having it every morning. I'm not a huge fan of English bacon and black pudding, so that worked out well.
We had lunch in a cute, little Italian restaurant nearby our hotel. The restaurant had a wonderful lunch deal where you go a starter and a main course for only £10.
 |
| Crostini with mushrooms and blue cheese. |
I don't know why I have the habit of always ordering meat dishes in restaurants. Most places you get really wonderful vegetarian dishes made with just as much care as any other dish, and just as tasteful. This is a habit I will have to break!
 |
| Mushroom and spinach lasagna that tasted much better than it looks. |
The lunch was wonderful and I was really looking forward to see what I would have for dinner.
 |
Mixed bean & harissa burger with hand-cut chips and tzatziki.
I added some Stilton, mushrooms and onions as toppings. |
The burger was the only slightly disappointing meal that day. The meal overall was very good, but the burger itself was a little dry and bland. I blame this on the chef, not on the concept of a bean & harissa burger, so I will see if I can find a better one somewhere else!
