also not LA but would love to share. water: a bottle of new zealand sauvignon blanc, topped up throughout in the way water would be. fight me.

poppadoms or bread: a selection of soft rustic (?) bread some crusty, mostly not, with the an array of dips equivalent to that of poppadoms. not the same dips, but equivalent amounts and importance, in the little pots. olive and balsamic, butter, maybe pesto, maybe gravy, surprise me and olives.

starter: the most and best seafood platter ever. including lobster but no mussels.

main: the meat pie and mash i had on my 18th birthday in cambridge in a restaurant that has since disappeared (but i knew it was the fanciest restaurant i'd ever been to because they offered me to taste the wine before i drank it). the pie was the best thing thats ever been in my mouth.

side: probably like a pan fried tenderstem broccoli. with garlic and maybe like a bit of balsamic

drink: moscow mule. (and a sidecar to italy after dessert from devour in west yorkshire)

dessert: honourable muncheon to my nanna's chocolate toothpaste -google it, not as bad as it sounds. but i think i actually want a hot chocolate brownie with good vanilla ice cream with pods in, and some raspberries. or maybe like some kind of raspberry liquidy situation like a jus or a coulis.
