Old-fashioned, but good

Posted On October 30, 2009

I went for lunch at Pembroke College.  Unlike formal hall dinners with gowns and rituals, these are very informal buffet affairs.  There was a huge range of choices, many of them healthy fare, but some calculated to fill hungry students.  I went for the very traditional fish, chips and peas.  It was very good, with nice crunchy batter, tasty chips and good peas.  I had tartare sauce with it, as tradition stipulates.  I suppose I should have gone for the ice-cream, but I followed it with some very good cheeses – especially the Stilton – and biscuits.
