Cock a leekie pie

So, I went to the Scottish Arms for dinner on Friday with some friends of mine. I know I made fun of the cock a leekie pie in my previous blog, but that is what I ended up having. I thought the resturant was one of the best ones i've been to in St. Louis, but the cock pie was...um...thick. Think of something that looks like a pot pie with the breaded crust on top. Inside is all cream, chicken and onions. I can only take so much real cream before things start to go wrong so I wasnt able to finish it. It was okay, but I wish there was more bread so it would have counteracted the cream.

But, the desert was the best ever. In fact, I should have ordered the desert for dinner as well. It was (drumroll please) a fried Mars Bar with vanilla ice cream. A fried candy bar. So awesome. I have heard of fried Snickers bars or fried Twinkies, but I had actually never really seen one before. Brilliant idea. I can't image that there was a single redeming healthy quantity to anything I had for dinner..

After the resturant we went over to the Just John's bar. I would like to make a recommendation. Never have a heavy cream meal and then have Midori sour drinks. Cream and anything sour dont' mix. At all. I didn't get sick, but my whole body is telling me that it hates me.

In the end, it was a fun night though. I'll definately go to the Scottish Arms again. But next time, I'll stick to fish and chips and fried Mars Bars. No more cock pie for me.
