スイスにお住まいの夫の大学時代からのお友達（イギリス人）と奥様（イタリア人）がご家族に会いにイギリスに滞在されていて、今日わたしたちが住む近くを通られるとのことで、ランチをご一緒しました。行くつもりだったレストランが月曜日が定休日で、他にも月曜日はお休みのところが多く、結局、Amberley の Black Horseというパブにしました。
We had lunch with my husband's university friend and his wife, who live in Switzerland but are visiting England to see his families because they were driving near us. The restaurant we were planning to go to is closed on Mondays and some other places were closed on Mondays as well, so in the end we went to "Black Horse" in Amberley.
何度か来ていますが、内装は結構好みです。
We'd been here a few times, I quite like their decor.
夫は、前菜にトマトのサラダをオーダーしていました。
My husand had Tomato Salad for a starter.
わたしは前菜はなしで、メインだけ、スーパーフードサラダにしてみました。いろいろ入っていて美味しそうと思ったのですが、う〜ん、あまり美味しくなかった。フレッシュな感じがせず、ピクルスの酸味があるくらいでとてもフラットな味。せめてレモン汁でもかけてあればもう少しすっきりしたと思うのですが。。。４分の１か３分の１くらい食べたでしょうか、なかなか箸がすすまずでした。塩胡椒がほとんどなかったこと、ピクルス以外の酸味がなかったこと、ハーブなどアクセントもなかったことが原因かと思います。
I didn't have a starter, just had a main. I tried Superfood Salad because it sounded good with lots of different vegetables, but I didn't enjoy it at all. It didn't taste very fresh, it didn't taste of much of anything actually, it tasted very flat and boring. If it had some lemon juice, for example, I would have enjoyed it more with its freshness. I guess I had 1/3 or 1/4, I just couldn't eat it any more. I guess because it wasn't seasoned much, no acidity other than pickles, no accent like herbs, just not very interesting.
夫は、メインにニョッキをオーダーしていましたが、ニョッキはほとんど残していたのであまり美味しくなかったのではと思います。
My husband had Gnocchi for the main but he didn't seem to have eaten many gnocchi, I guess he didn't enjoy it much.
会ったのは２、３年ぶりだったのでキャッチアップすることも多く、たくさんおしゃべりが出来て良かったです。
It's been 2 or 3 years since we saw them last so there was a lot to catch up, so we chatted a lot over the lunch.
