The menu looks very nice and I appreciate the information you will be posting
as well. I do have one question about it though.
It seems a bit overly sweet without much savory or vinegar to temper it.
You have jumbles, marmelade, orange sauce, apple & wine sauce, sweet tart,
sweet potatoes, rice pudding and Shrewsbery cakes.
Also everything there is fairly soft. There should be some crunch for
each course to off-set the softness of the rest of the dishes.
Perhaps instead of the sweet spinach tart you make benes y'fried or even just
cooked greens. Or put a salat into the meal. Since I'm unfamiliar with the
taste of the orance sauce or apple&wine sauce I'm not sure how sweet they
are but I do feel that a texture difference should be added.
Just some observations.
Yers,
Gunthar
