Which tea to drink for the Chinese New Year?

Contrary to appearances I don’t eat pasta EVERY day. I mean there’s a salad here too. And my pal had perfectly cooked red mullet. And there was apple and walnut tart. Another sensational meal @sonnystores, a more than worthy successor to the great Birch #bristol. . . . #pasta #tagliatelle #salad #redmullet #appletart #italianfood #sonnysstores #newfavouriterestaurant #eatlocalFINALLY got to @breakingbreadbristol last night and thanks to eating with a friend who was writing a piece on the Bristol food scene got to try a bit of both the menus. Casarecce with prawns from @pastaloco and @pastaripiena, mussels and smoked haddock chowder and hake with pork belly dumpling from @theponyandtrap. Not the best photography (er hem) but really cracking food from an outdoor offsite kitchen. Massively impressive #guest. . . . #pasta #casarecce #seafood #shellfish #prawns #shrimp #chowder #soup #smokedhaddock #hake #dumplings #surfandturf #breakingbreadbristol #bristolContinuing this week’s unplanned red and orange theme a @leicestershire_handmade_cheese Sparkenhoe Red Leicester from @neals_yard_dairy courtesy of @olivers_cider. Obviously we drank cider with it though it’s one of those rare cheeses that goes really well with red wine, especially Bordeaux. #guest. . . . #cheese #britishcheese #redleicester #sparkenhoeredleicester #cider #redwine #cheeseandcider #cheeseandwine #herefordshireAnother set of shots from last weekend. The world is all red at the moment - at least it is in Herefordshire by the beautiful River Wye. . . . #autumnleaves #fallcolors #maple #redleaves #herefordshire #rossonwye #riverwye #nofilter Follow on Instagram
