Hi Everyone, this post is especially written with my former coworker, Janet, in mind. She is such a fabulous foodie and could always be counted on to know the best restaurants in town as well as the million places abroad she has visited. Well Janet, if you ever go on safari and stay at the Buffalo Lodge this might be your dinner:
Friday 25th:
Starter: Tiann of smoked salmon with honey mustard sauce and Broccoli Soup
Main: Ostrich fillet served on a bed of pepper dew risotto rice and veg
Dessert: Malava pudding
Saturday 26th:
Starter: Black mussels bisque in a creamer white wine sauce with Ginger and Carrot soup
Main: Lemon and Beer Chicken, lentils, rice and veg
Dessert: Chocolate roulade
The starters were really the most memorable for me. Lance is not a big fan of smoked salmon but a little bit of it with the right sauce and I'm a happy Kristin. We first had a smoke salmon appetizer with our Christmas cruise in Paris and it was fantastic! But a little bit still goes a long way. Any more than 1/8 of a cup and it becomes very clear your eating nearly raw fish.
The mussels on Saturday were by far the best I have ever had and I could have eaten another bowl for dinner! Definitely something I'll try again.
Lance said the Ostrich was very rich, a little like goose, but not a greasy. Tiny little steaks for such a big animal. They were petite petite fillet size. Pretty good though.
For breakfast we enjoyed muslix on yogurt with honey. Lunch was usually a souffle and sliced meats. Beer was Carlsberg and wine was a house white from South African and pretty darn good.
We are poor. We are full. We are happy. : )
