A couple of other observations:
When you’re talking chilli, it’s very much a case of ‘one man’s dish is another man’s poison’, and there’s obviously a wide range when it comes to heat-tolerance. It’d be nice to have the option of a couple of other chilli sauces along with the ubiquitous Tabasco. Given the opportunity to try something different, I don’t think the average chilli fan would mind paying a small surcharge for the privilege.
Given the fact that restaurant wine lists tend to be heavily weighted towards popular styles that turn up all over the place, I really like the idea of ‘BYO Wine’ as an option that gives someone with a few different bottles at home to say that a certain dish on the menu would probably go really well with a bottle of that Eden Valley Riesling we picked up from wherever and then try the match later on.
Of course, under those circumstances, you’d expect to pay corkage at a reasonable, but not exorbitant, level.
Based on this first visit (we’ll definitely be back, and that’ll be sooner rather than later) it looks like Oatmeal Dough will continue to do well in the computer games department come Christmas and birthday time..
