The Big Lunch at The Underground Restaurant

One of the advantages with food blogging is that you make friends*, in this case MsMarmitelover has indeed become a very good one.
Yo Marms!

This her take on The Big Lunch.
Due to a possible conflict of interest, this post is not a review but a collection of snaps to make some of you drool.

Brought me own pinky lemonade albeit très cher

The lovely N of The Shed

Grilled aubergines with masala chaat yoghurt and pomegranate
Hummus

Palm heart salad

Filo triangles with feta and red chilli pepper
Dolmades stuffed with rice, caramelised walnuts and salted lemons

Toms, grilled halloumi and red pepper

Caramelised endives with parmesan cheese sauce

AGA warmed bread

Mr Whippy

Baked apricots with basil and mint

Happy and young shiny peeps

*One of the disadvantages includes that you're labelled as a 'no mark' by other bloggers, how unnecessarily pathetic!

    I don't understand this 'no mark' business either. It looks like a lovely afternoon - I love aubergines, I must get the recipe.

    Ladies- thank you, great food aside; the ambience and the company were pretty much instrumental as well.

    As for the other thing-

    Thora- Thank you. On your next visit to London do ensure that you make it to one of MsMarmite's dinners; she's a hoot!

    The pink lemonade looks incredible. I must have the bottle! As you know, I'm a sucker for all things vintage.

    The food looks lovely as well.

    And a 'no mark'? Tshaw. Utter nonsense!

    Thora- Next time you're in London I'll make sure that I'm in the shop. If I ever visit a Czech or German restaurant in London, I'll think of you.

    LMR- £3.40, as you said worth paying for the bottle alone.
