One of my blogging pet hates is when bloggers write posts beginning something along the lines of: ‘I’m so sorry I’ve been dreadfully remiss of late and haven’t posted anything recently. I’ve been so terribly busy… but forgive me, I’ll make it up to you’ – as though their reader is a jealous lover, waiting impatiently for their next missive. It seems arrogant, not to mention unrealistic. And if you’ve got nothing to say, why not just wait till you do have something to say, instead of telling everyone that you’re not saying anything?
Anyway, that was the (arguably hypocritical) preface to me saying: I have got lots to say, but not much time to say it in, so sorry for bundling my three recent restaurant reviews into one clumsy post. It’s the usual summer affliction: too busy having fun to make time to write about it. Which, I suppose, is the right way round…
De Portugees: Portuguese restaurant (obviously) on the Zeedijk, this is unsurprisingly chockablock with tourists. We had simple grilled swordfish (which was a little overcooked) and sardines with too-oily vegetables, although everything tasted fresh enough. It was hard to tell from just the main courses, but I’ve eaten better Portuguese food elsewhere.
