would you meet again?
delighted to catch up in
the future … as friends
My regular Saturday morning reading includes a few minutes with a Guardian feature titled, “Blind Date”, where two people agree to meet at a local restaurant and then answer questions about their experience.
Often my comments focus on the place where the couple meets as the British restaurants often have great names.
Today’s restaurant was The Tamil Crown located at 16 Elia St, London N1 8DE.
The menu includes:
LARGE PLATES
Aubergine curry (ve) | 12.5
Mango Sambar (v) | 11
Coconut prawn moilee | 16
Thanjavur chicken curry | 13.5
Chettinad lamb curry | 14
Robata lamb chops | 35
EXTRAS
Buttery, flaky roti (v) | 3.5
Coconut pilau rice (v) | 5.5
That’s Pounds by the way, not dollars.
I don’t want to bother with The Google but I wonder what prawn moilee or buttery flaky roti is.
Then there are the participants answers.
Today the first response of the young lady in the Blind Date was:
What were you hoping for?
To meet the love of my life. Failing that, a good story for my next date.
Sadly her last response was:
Would you meet again?
I’d be delighted to catch up with him in the future, as friends.
They must have been some synergy at this date as the young man’s last response was:
Would you meet again?
I’d be happy to meet again as friends.
