Searching for Good Eats in the Manchester VT area
Hi we are planning a snowboarding trip at Stratton and staying in Manchester VT. Does anyone have any decent recs for places to eat? We are up for anything from casual to formal.
Indian Mangos!!!
Yes, those were certainly great mangos at Tabla. They are not Alphonsos however. But the kind that is gooey sweet and un-stringy. Floyd (chef at Tabla) said he's got 100 cases, but he's been seving them all weekend, so any interested parties should get themselves there.
Your favourite thing to do with artichokes...?
I love simple artichoke perparation. Cook the hearts in water with a bit of salt, peppercorn, lemon juice, onions, and bouquet garni. Once they are tender, serve with chopped lemon confit and an added sprits of fresh lemon juice. It's one of the most popular party dishes.
P*Ong -- Rough edges, serious flaws
Are we talking about two different places? Yes, the service needs a little polish but that's only natural for a place that is only a week old. If this is your first week on the job, would you be a star at it? The portions are at P*Ong are not miniscule by my standards. I believe too many people equate quantity with quality (perhaps a reason why obesity is a problem in this country?). This is not the type of food that is eaten by the mountainful. It's a range of delicate flavors to be savored. As for price point, the ingredients used in the dishes should make them worth every penny.
