"Chicken" Tonight?

Following the results of the poll yesterday we took a trip back to the restuarant that served "chicken".

Another real backpacker experience. In fact T´s definition of backpacker has morphed somewhat since leaving the UK. I think the Rio Experience (vomit smelling pillows and shrieking young people having fun) has scarred her.

Anyway it met with her approval that we were in a restuarant where the waiter recommended a Malbec rather than shoved beans and eggs her way.

On to the action and it is safe to say I´d perhaps been guity of delaying tactics and we´d wandered a few more streets than I would normally put up with before dinner. We´d walked through a market earlier and I´d been desperate to see some skinned "chicken" but none was on show. However the close proximity to some truely awful offal hadn´t really laid a solid platform for my dinner time forfeit.

So, dinner ordered and I was sat there feeling a bit like Montgomery Burns when he has to eat the radioactve three eye´d fish to win his election. Again another thought that wasn´t helping my mental preparation and mild guilt at this point.

Out came the wee fella and the anatomy lesson began, Prof Boyd would have been proud of my technique. I would like to say that it was horrible, that I hated every bite, but in truth the wee fella was pretty dam tasty. Defo a bit like chicken but perhaps with a hint of hog roast alongside, maybe even a bit more gamey. I had four legs which to be fair wasn´t enough to fill a toddler but a puddng filled the gap.

So there you have it (pics on the pic board now) one, er, "chicken" less to give panomec injections to or perform unfulfilling and largely unsuccessful dental work on.

T always asks me two questions after a new meal:

1. Did I like it?
2. Would I have it again?

The answers are a resounding yes and no of course not I´m not a barbarian (but secretly probably yes!)

´Till next time and thanks to all those that voted. You can stop texting me now as I´ve had about 20 of the same reply from each of you. Maybe a problem my end but just check yur bills to see that you´ve not been stiffed for a fwe extra quid.

Nixon out.
