Quince: get it right and it's lovely; get it wrong and - as with Tiger Blowfish, skydiving or auto-erotic asphyxiation - you could be in for a nasty surprise. Quail, on the other hand, pose far less of a threat to your wellbeing, unless of course, you're an insect.
Dispelling any such worries, the folks at Provenance are using the two Qs to offer up an alliterative feast this Saturday featuring delights such as seared quail breasts with roast beetroot, confit celeriac and quince microherb salad - and a ‘very special' cocktail.* It's the second ‘Seasonal Pleasures' tasting event (the ‘everything's made of figs!' one sold out) at the restaurant where Deelish once was.
First-time, former-Deelish customers can rest assured they're not coming down with a bout of Mrs Twit shrinks. The bar - and indeed some of the tables - has been raised. For ThreeThousand's burgeoning octogenarian readership, it's where the first Coles store used to be - you know: where you used to pay tuppence for Bob's quinine.
* Ed: Maybe it will be called ‘Quailudes'.
