Tuesday rant

I've been raring to get started on my rant this week, so much so that if it appears as a late monday post i can reassure you that it is now tuesday morning where i'm typing. It's 10 past midnight as i speak and depending how often i'm distracted will be posted anytime from quarter past to 1am when i'll be heading to bed.

The subject of my wrath this week is Frankenstein's bar/restaurent in Edinburgh, just down from the George IV bridge or possibly technically still on it near the Royal Museam/Museam of Scotland. Apparantly the Chicken and Mushroom supreme was very nice but i was tempted into eating the American breakfast. That consists of pancakes layered with bacon served with maple syrup, a couple of hash browns and a bit of tomato. A glass of orange juice and a coffee included. I'm aware this isn't everyones idea of a good breakfast but i'd eaten similar from the pancake place and been most impressed.

However i was to be sorely let down! The first signs wern't good, the top bit of bacon was a strange colour round the the edges that verged worryingly close to green, rarely a good colour for any meat. The pancakes were immediately obviously on the small side, disappointing but if they tasted nice then so be it. They didn't, they were cold, they crumbled badly and even coated in syrup bland and nothing special. They tasted like a cheap pancake bought from a supermarket which they couldn't even be arsed to heat up. So i wasn't neither satisfied by the amount nor the taste, and for almost £6 proved very poor value for money. The final insult was that the coffee was lukewarm.

I was tempted to order a dessert to satisfy my appetite a bit more, but i didn't want to give them anymore money. That'll teach me for not just ordering the huge fuck off big burger! Obviosuly i didn't complain, we just don't do that in the UK, well not much, so i just seethed about it quietly and will be petrol bombing it later in the week. Well not really, i hope no one does now petrol bomb it, well if they do i hope they get caught and i'm not a suspect. :-)

edit- typical, it did list it as a monday post, believe me it's tuesday already!
