Thanks for asking. I’ll add a description to the post a bit later with what I can remember. The red meat is flank.
I lived in the UK for 10 years and am married to a Scot, so I understand the similarities and differences!
Thanks for asking. It's a crumb of some type. I was too agog at the prospect of my nice meal that I forgot to note down all the details from the menu. Can assure you that it was delicious. The crumb added a nice texture to the soft scallop and the butter's smoothness and flavouring didn't overpower things.
I if I had ordered 24 of these it would have cost more than the rest of the meal (for two) combined!
Good point. I nicked the description from an indicative menu on their website as I forgot to note what it said on the menu when I went there. Clearly they altered it since then. Will edit title of ~~point~~ post. I definitely did eat it!
Thanks for posting. I was lucky enough to visit Stockholm, once. The art in the stations was really cool. Would love to return there one day. 🙂
According to this and a couple of other sources, yes, some species of Banksia have been used for their nectar. It’s possible that seeds and fruit may also be edible but don’t take my word for it.
The climate there would be good growing conditions. I hope it doesn’t cause issues though. Introduced species can sometimes be problematic.
This would be char from having been grilled.
