on with my Salmon balotine at the mo, also grilling with a lemon and parmesan butter for a function for Brian Turner tomorrow.

will try and squeeze it in as much as possible for the duration, before we return to the peruvian which people insist on ordering anytime of the year.

I think English Asparagus is good enough to just serve blanched and buttered as a starter.
