Guest guest Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 HI All Colin and I just had a weekend in Cornwall, so I thought I would let you know about the food we had. We booked two nights B & B at a veggie/vegan guesthouse called Michael House in Treknow near Tintagel in Cornwall. We also booked dinner for the first night. First course was pasta salad with olive tapenade. Second course was wild mushrooms with Madeira en croute with new potatoes, broad beans, courgettes with garlic, and carrots. The desert was pears with ginger and star anise and Swedish glace. It was such delicious food and so well presented we had our second evening's dinner at the guesthouse as well. The first course was vegan sushi. The second course was Baked tomato filled with almonds, currants and quinoa served with baked new potatoes, Swiss chard and sugar snap peas. The desert was fruit filled filo pastry baskets with Soya Dream and a delicious fruit sauce. The breakfasts consisted of fresh fruit salad with soya yogurt, muesli with apricots, newly baked wholemeal bread (and soya spread) followed by beans on toast with tomatoes, mushrooms, potato rosti and sausage. All the food was organic and most from their own garden, or grown locally. There was soya milk and filtered water for the rooms, and all the soap etc was vegan. The bedding was all organic cotton. We visited the Eden Project which we enjoyed. With the large breakfast, and the dinner to look forward to, we did not want a large meal. There were two hot vegan options available - looked quite good, and various vegan sandwiches and soups. I had a pasta and tomato sauce. When it was brought to the table they also brought a yogurt (cow's). So I said I didn't want that, and hadn't ordered it. Apparently it came with the pasta, but they changed it for a banana. They were very helpful, and it was good that they had some choice of vegan food there. They did not have soya milk though, so best to take your own if you like milk in your tea. Today we went to Boscastle. The only vegan lunch we could find apart from a 'carnivores salad' (lettuce, half a tomato and a couple of slices of cucumber) was tomato and basil soup. We had to use services for our meal on the way home this evening and had a vegan burger and excuse for a salad at the Little Chef. Not much taste, but it filled a gap. Anyway, we had a really lovely weekend, and I would recommend the guesthouse to anyone. Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 Rice mixed with various things like avacado, mustard etc. and wrapped in seaweed. It was served with a green sauce that was so hot I couldn't eat it, and a soy sauce mix Jo - Jonnie Hellens Sunday, July 17, 2005 11:00 PM Re: Weekend in Cornwall :-) Ok, I'm kinda curious about vegan sushi?

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 There is a sushi place around the corner from Son #3's house. They specialize in custom sushi. You go in and order them the way you want them. Also, they do several different types of wraps instead of just seaweed. I LOVE the soy wrap with avocado and asparagus. Yummy!
