In which case I would probably sit at the bar - as I have done numerous times
in the past. Unless there was something on which I needed to work - and which
needed to spread out on a table.

You probably got as much fish as I did with just your two pieces. LJS is pretty
strictly portion controlled. I -think- their fish patties are 3 oz. Certainly
not much more than that, before battering.

If you had ordered Coor's Light they should have credited the disposal fee
toward your groceries bill.  Bv)= Worse than horse-piss - because, I suspect
(without direct experience of H.P.) that it has some flavour. A comment which
cannot live in the same county as Coor's Light.

 Categories: Game, Cheese, Herbs, Dairy
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      2 tb (30mL)extra virgin olive oil
  2 1/4 lb (1 kg) horsemeat roast
           Dijon mustard; as needed
           Salt & pepper

MMMMM---------------------------SAUCE--------------------------------
      3 tb (45mL) bleu cheese; crumbled
      3 tb (45mL) sour cream
      5 ts (25mL) minced chives
      5 ts (25mL) prepared horseradish
           +=OR=+
      5 ts (25mL) wasabi (Japanese
           - horseradish) powder
      5 ts (25mL) mayonnaise
           Fresh ground peppercorns
 
  Preheat oven to 425øF/220øC.
  
  Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  
  Sear roast all sides.
  
  Rub with mustard and season.
  
  Roast 10 minutes.
  
  Reduce temperature to 350øF/175øC and continue to cook to
  desired degree of doneness.
  
  Take meat out, cover loosely with foil and let stand.
  
  In a bowl, mix sauce ingredients together.
  
  In a skillet, bring sauce to a boil.
  
  Lay sliced meat on a bed of sauce.
  
  Cooking time: the best way to check doneness is with a meat
  thermometer, which shows the meat’s internal temperature.
  Rare -- 125øF/55ø). Medium -- 150øF/65øC. Well-done --
  170øF/77øC. It is important to take the roast out of the
  oven 5 to 10 minutes before it’s done as its internal
  temperature will continue to rise a little.
