2008 Holiday Part 8 - Castles

Edinburgh Castle in Edinburgh, Scotland.


Scotland is renowned for their cuisine... or maybe lack there of. However, I have to say that Hubby and I were keen to try their deep fried foods where everything is dipped in batter and deep fried. It doesn't sound very appetizing but I found it tasty, though it's not a good idea to be eating this on a daily basis or else you'll end up with a heart attack!

Hubby had the deep fried pizza.


And I had the deep fried Cheeseburger. This was two meat patties with a slice of cheese in between, dipped in batter and fried then served in hamburger buns. It wasn't half bad.





Hever Castle...


We ate our home made sandwiches on the river/lake.


Leeds Castle...

Grill'd

I had Friday night off from work so Hubby took Little One and me on a date.

We went to Grill'd in Highpoint .



It's been a while since I've had beef burger so I was quite excited. For anyone who hasn't been to Grill'd, it's a burger bar - be it beef, lamb, chicken and even vegie. Back in 2005, Matt Preston voted the "Mighty Melbourne" burger the best in town. So Hubby had to try it. It was massive - as you can see in the pic below. It had the beef patty, cheese, bacon, egg, beetroot, salad, relish and herbed mayo.

I had the Mustard & Pickled. It had the beef patty, dijon mustard, dill pickle, cheese, salad and relish. It took 4 bites before I even got to the beef patty. It was huge and it was hard to ea but when I finally got there, it was delish.


As a side we ordered Regular fries with sweet chili mayo dipping sauce. The chips were chunky and crunchy. It was cooked with rosemary and garlic. Fantastic.



I will definitely go back.

Bon Appetite
