I'm not all domesticity, i went to a very good friends birthday party on Saturday night, after my day of biscuit baking. It was at a Peruvian restaurant called Titos, in London Bridge.
The food was super delicious, although not always beautifully presented. The ceviche in particular was delicious, and possibly my favourite. For the uninitiated, this is fish that has been marinated in lime or lemon juice, with garlic, chilli and coriander, amongst other things. This sort of 'cooks' the fish, and it ends up being an amazingly zesty and refreshing dish. The hard core eaters of ceviche (like myself- I LOVE LOVE LOVE it) then pour the juice that is left over from the dish into a glass and drink it.
We also ate Arroz de Mariscos- a peruvian variation on paella.
Mariscos Fritos- a mix of fried seafood which had a vey light batter on, was not dissimilar to Japanese tempura. Somewhat dissapointing was a type of fried yam which was a bit dry. On the other hand a "sandwich" of what was really mashed potato with tuna inside was fantastic and for some reason was much more than the sum of its parts- or its looks.
We washed all this deliciousness down with Pisco Sour, this is a lethal Peruvian cocktail, made with Pisco- a grape liqueur, mixed with lime juice, sugar ice and frothy egg white. This should be treated with caution, as it can be very strong- and cause crazy salsa dancing!- See the pics of us dancing in the club downstairs after dinner as proof!

Antonio tells me the juice from the ceviche is known as 'leche de tigre' (tiger's milk) in Uruguay... Should have known you guys would get up to some kinky stuff with animals!
