It's nice having a chef visiting...

The other evening, the young man visiting here with his partner, another friend of mine from a different circle entirely, cooked up a wonderful storm -- the most delicious green Thai chicken and shrimp curry I've tasted in a long, long time. It was reminiscent of the gorgeous food served up by what used to be my home away from home in the Muesmatt area of Berne, the Mues@matt Restaurant. Sadly, the manageress/wine specialist and her Thai husband moved to a different area and changed their opening hours, which didn't suit me.
Ret0's dish has inspired me to try and emulate Thai cuisine with whatever ingredients I can rustle up in Oban. He used the freshest of runner beans, which tasted a lot like okra -- yummy!
