Food Warning

Coyles Bistro

After our visit to Mount Stewart we drove over to Bangor, Co. Down for a meal in one of our favourite pubs - Coyles. Once again, we were not disappointed - for mains we had rumpsteak with a topping of roquefort and walnut pesto served with garlic and olive oil mash and a side of sliced cabbage. dr em likes hers well done, while I prefer mine medium - they were perfect and mouth wateringly delicious. For dessert I had dark chocolate and orange truffle with cappuccino pana cotto and cherries while dr em settled for almond angel cake, with carmelised pineapple, mango, lime and coconut sorbet. They were 'to die for'. If you haven't yet paid a visit to Coyles take it from me you don't know what you're missing.

We're still in raptures over the excellent meal. Culinary orgasm!!

Aberdeen airport -

As mentioned, I have just returned from Aberdeen and just had time to grab a quick sandwich at the airport before the flight home. Well, the food was not as grim as that mentioned by blueboat on Belfast Daily Photo (the bread was fresh, the ham was smoked and the sandwiches were made up after we ordered them) but what tickled my fancy was the addition of a packet of crisps to the gastronomic creation, obviously intended to make it more appealing and not just another bland sandwich. Well, the sandwiches were fine and I HATE crisps with sandwiches so no top marks here, sorry!
