The first of several seasonal meals

The office lunch for Christmas.  We dined at Ottoman Restaurant in Barton where, it hardly needs to be said, the food is Turkish.  And not half bad.  

Dips - beetroot was best

The "cuisine [according to the menu] consists of classic Turkish dishes that have withstood the test of time."  So, few surprises made it to the table and you'd have to imagine that the meat eaters among our number - that'll be most of our happy little band of NGO campers - experienced more of what the place and its cooks have to offer.  But I'm not complaining.  We were all well-fed by the end of our time together.  It wasn't an exiting dining experience by any stretch of the imagination but it's the best meal I've eaten all week and I didn't have to pay, so thank you National Disability Services.  

Happy Christmas comrades - if that's not mixing one's ideological frames of reference.
