Friday Night Dinner: Kudu
We went to Kudu, a restaurant offering a menu inspired by South African Braai on a wet Halloween. Let me start by saying, that whilst there were vegetarian items on the menu, this is very much not a restaurant for those who enjoy a meat free cuisine.
We started our meal with a delicious tin of freshly baked bread, about the size of a large American muffin, helpfully portioned into four pieces. This was accompanied by a dish of a very tasty melted butter, featuring bits of bacon for the bread to be dipped into. This flavoursome starter set the tone for the mains.
We enjoyed a spatchcock poussin which was coated in something slightly crunchy, salty, spicy — and delicious. The poussin was moist and tender and came off the bone very easily. Alongside this we had the lamb, which came on the bone, and partly sliced. This too had some sort of marinade or spicing applied, and was also tasty. If I'm being very critical, perhaps the fat could have been rendered a little more. We also had with our mains a dish of roasted carrots draped in a curry-ish, sauce, and in some ways I wish I'd had two of those. But alas with all the meat, there really was no room.
From our high table seat we could see across about half the restaurant, which was busy. We noticed that many diners were unable to finish their food, so there were many "doggy bags" of leftovers being packaged up. We didn't need to do a takeaway, but this is only because we were more restrained on the side dishes.
We'd go to Kudu again, but next time I'd probably have the spatchcock chicken between two, and a few of the sides and snack dishes to go with it.

My First Lapwing!
I went to the London Wetland Centre yesterday, for a day out in nature.
While hiding in a hide, this chap and a friend showed up starting to forage for grubs.

Staring Contest with a Squirrel
On my walk on the weekend, I sat down on a tree branch of a tree that had fallen over some time ago. Just listening to the birds.
Then after hearing rustling in the foliage above me, I looked up, and saw this chap staring at me.

Bluebell Carpet
I had a lovely walk on Hampstead Heath yesterday, finding all the nooks and crannies away from the busy paths.
This field of bluebells under the colourful tree was a stand-out quiet spot.

@Edent Seems like my Android stopped sending coordinates to @openbenches as well, which is surprising as I haven't updated anything as far as I'm aware. Could it be a problem with the reader in your side after the latest changes and the addition of the warning?
