Meal: Goliard



An unbeatable meal. After starting off with some local olives, we got down to business.

For the wine, we went local. Definitely dry, but in a good way.

Arguably the highlight of the night, Squid tentacles served on a bed of ground asparagus and artichoke. It was out of this world good.

We doubled that up with a plate of local cheeses, both hard and soft. A good break from the Swiss we're getting used to, these had less of a sharp flavor while still being , um robust?


Main course. For Jaren, it was a cod dish in a potato cream sauce topped with a local dry aged ham. All was very good (with a particular shout out to the local smoked meats - they we're literally hanging all over town, and I fully understand why).


For me, it was grilled prawns served on a bed of garbanzos and a mild curry. De-licious, although I could have done well with a second helping.


And to top it all off, Semicuit de chocolate con helado de avellanas --it looked like this:
