We had a nice lunch at The Greedy Goose today. The Greedy Goose is one of the restaurants in the TV show, My Restaurant Rules, which is a reality show where competitors from Adelaide, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth open a restaurant, and one by one they’re voted out of the game, with the last people standing getting to keep their restaurant.

We decided to go for lunch today because we figured there’d be less of a queue (you’re not allowed to book), and not too much chance of there being any TV cameras around. Fortunately we were right on both counts, so we could eat without feeling too self-conscious. None of the entrées really grabbed me, so I decided to have a main and a dessert instead. It’s been so long since I’ve had a dessert at a restaurant, because usually by the time I’ve had the entrée and main, I’m stuffed. So I got to enjoy a beef filet wrapped in prosciutto for my main, and a yummy chocolate mousse for dessert. Needless to say, I am feeling absolutely stuffed now.

I think I’m going off chocolate. There’s one sentence I never thought I’d type - all my life I’ve made an automatic beeline for the most chocolatey dessert/cake on offer, but I’m just not that into it any more. I’m finding now that I prefer a fruity-tasting dessert, with chocolate being an accent rather than the main thing. My chocolate mousse today was excellent, but towards the end it just felt like too much chocolate. Wash my mouth out! As M says, maybe my tastebuds are ‘maturing’… either that, or they’re becoming as much of an old fart as the rest of me.
