Dinner in the Great Hall



We were invited to have dinner with the Georgia Tech students in the Great Hall - refectory tables and all. Since this was an informal dinner, the faculty sat with the students and not at the High table. It was all very familiar to Colin, a Castle man at Durham. We were very pleasantly surprised at how good the food was, expecting school dinner standards. 

The menu:
Carrot and Coriander soup
wholewheat bread roll
poached salmon
buttered, minted new potatoes
steamed broccoli
summer pudding

Good to be able to see what you're doing. All looks so interesting. Plus you've already taken interesting food shots for painting watercolours of. Go you.

Hello! I'm curious - what is summer pudding?

delicious concoction of berries and bread left to stew in the fridge overnight, served with cream, a traditional English summer dessert.
