Ok - don't judge! :-P Yesterday night I walked along the buffet counter in the hotel and all the signs suggested some fairly strange food, so I headed over to the pasta counter, thinking that would be a safe option! Hahaha...! So I really felt like pesto, not sure why but I just REALLY love the stuff and have done all year; but the lady doing the pasta only had a little bowl of it which she was using to flavour other sauces, like tomato and stuff! So I asked her, in Spanish, if they had pesto, and she said yes, so I asked for that and she was like, "Just pesto?" And I said, "Yes." So a man went off to find a big tray of pesto and while we were waiting we were chatting, and I was enjoying being able to converse in Spanish! But I got a bit excited - about talking in Spanish - so when she said, "You must like pesto!", I answered, "¡Sí, MUCHO pesto!" (= "Yes, A LOT OF pesto!", rather than "I like pesto A LOT!"). And so she PILED it on! And as I walked back to my seat with my luminous green pasta, I thought to myself, "Why did you have to go and get so excited?" The lesson I take away from that; not that I shouldn't get so excited, but that I shouldn't get so excited WHILST ordering food!!! ;-D

It just tastes of real bananas!!! Think of a banana in it's prime - when it's flavour is the most like "banana" as it will ever be, and then add a dose more of "pure banana"!!! It was like a creamy, dreamy drink-form of a REAL banana! But unlike the banana smoothies I've ever made at home, the bananas here never seem to taste as if they're going brown!!! WHAT?!
So in the immensely long time it took me to drink my MASSIVE shake, not once did it ever taste of anything but a fresh, ripe banana! This country never ceases to amaze me! So I thought I'd review my trips to Bailey's! When I say review... really just give you all food jealosy! Hahaha!!!
Bailey's is like a restaurant/café which is my new second favourite (after Grannies in Cotgrave, of course! :-D)! The only thing I've ever had there - and ever intend on having - are shakes and ice-cream, and so far, they are just the most delicious ones I have ever tasted! Of course, for my first trip of the year (technically my first trip was last year, but I can't remember whether I had the same as this time, or a fruit salad ice-cream... either way, I'm starting afresh with the reviews today!) I had a STRAWBERRY SHAKE!!! I'm not a fan of the Americanism 'shake' rather than 'milkshake', but to say that I have never discovered any actual milk here, I'd say it's likely to be fairly accurate! But it must have some kind of dairy/ice-cream/something in it, otherwise I don't see how it could be a creamy drink! Who knows?! But you know how strawberry milkshake (like my favourite; Crusha!) tastes of strawberry flavour - which, from the the amount I drink it, I must like - here, it tastes of actual strawberries. It's how I imagine it would taste if you had strawberries and a little bit of cream in a bowl (much less than I'd put on strawberries!), and you just turned it into a drink via magic! I don't know how they do it, but they do, and I am glad they do!!! It's the same with all the fruit here! It just tastes more like the fruit than the fruit does in England! I guess it's the sun-ripened, freshly grown approach rather than the mass-produced and shipped over; but whatever it is... it tastes GOOD!!! |
