What with it being pay-day on Friday, we
thought we’d treat ourselves to lunch out to kick start the weekend. We only
wanted a light lunch because we had dinner plans already. I’m also making a conscious
effort to watch what I eat, so that I can fit into my wedding dress without
having to remove a rib!
We stopped off at a local favourite of mine
The Gloucester Old Spot and I perused the selection of cob sandwiches. Yes, I’m not going to lie, I
was ever so tempted by the beef and red wine cobbler, not to mention the fish
and chips; so when Kingsley announced he was having the pork and chorizo burger
served in a brioche bun, I was somewhat dismayed that he wasn’t joining in my
attempt to be slightly healthy. Anyhow, I stuck to my guns and ordered the
goats’ cheese, pesto and rocket cob with a handful of chips (yes, I’m quite
aware chips aren’t healthy, but what choice did I have what with Kingsley
ordering a burger?!).
Feeling pleased with myself for not giving
into temptation, I spotted the waitress bringing our food over, and almost
simultaneously, saw Kingsley’s lips take a downward turn. His burger looked
amazing, but my cob was about three times the size - so much for fitting in my
dress!
So, rather than eat half and feign fullness, I
accepted the fact that my intentions were good all along, and that it wasn’t my
fault the kitchen serve up a mean cob sarnie. So with that in mind, I ate the whole
lot, and felt guilty all damn day!
Light it was not, but tasty – oh yes! Kingsley
claimed that his ‘slaw was the best he’d ever had and without a doubt, mine was
the best sandwich – and by far the most generous. The chips were amazeballs and
even the ketchup (none of that bright red, vinegary stuff) had its food game on.
A good place to go for a not-so light lunch.
