Locavore

Locavore on Urbanspoon

Have ventured to Stirling, which is probably at the outer limit of my feeding radius. “Locavore” only serves local produce, from within 100 miles of the restaurant, for environmental/social reasons.

I’m more interested in tasting the local produce from a culinary point of view, than feeling good about some greenie bullshit. :)

No Diet Coke, but local “Bickford’s Kola” is acceptable.

I hope there’s something worth eating within 100 miles. :)

12HR FLEURIEU LAMB RUMP
6/10

With roasted root vegetables, wilted spinach & jus.

This is basically a casserole. Big chunks of cooked beetroot, and capsicum are nice, but I don’t really detect any other flavour or seasoning beyond the visible components. I’m not a huge fan of slow cooking, but the lamb here is reasonable. I add some of the River Murray salt to the meat, and it’s bit bad. The wilted spinach us indistinguishable from raw spinach.

BLOOD ORANGE AND CINNAMON CURD TART
7/10

With Tweedvale double cream & candied orange.

This is the thickest cream I’ve ever seen. I thought it had to be ice cream, so I tried to eat it. The cream and slightly citrusy tart wouldn’t be too bad together, but when combined with the zingy straws of candied orange, they create a tangy and tasty result.

:(
Some tiny flies want to join in with my feeding.
