We were at risk of total overeating, and so we decided to have a more low-key meal this time around, at Belem, before a bit of a blow out on our last night. In a meal that involved a lot of eating with our hands we followed a plate of prawns with moules and frites. The prawns were plump and juicy, and served with a quite mustardy mayonnaise. The moules were on the small side, which meant a lot of work for your supper, but it was definitely worth it! R went for a traditional marinere while I went for mouclade, which had a very mild curry and pineau sauce. With perfect hot crisp ‘frites’ this was a great meal, although rather lacking in vegetables.
A serious amount of ice cream!
We followed this with ice cream from the stall on the harbour-front. Choosing from the 50-odd flavours took some time, but eventually I went for rum raisin and salt caramel. The rum raisin was good, with the vanilla ice cream and boozy raisins sitting well together, but the star was the salt caramel. It is hard to describe without making it sound disgusting, but I have been dreaming of it ever since! We had to go back the next day so that I could have more.
