On our first night in Edinburgh, Vanessa and I found ourselves in a beautifully kitsch bar/restaurant called ‘The Newsroom’.
Blown up newspaper covered walls…. windows lined with jam jars filled with lightbulbs… and some seriously delicious food!
The two of us had been umming and ahhing about where to eat for a good half hour before deciding on this place (always going back to the first place we see! Go with your instinct!). We didn’t fancy a large sit down meal that night, but more of a pub grub type deal.
Here, we both ordered a Breaded Chicken Schnitzel with Lea & Perrins Roast Onions and Basil Mayo…. and oh my gosh it was the best non- decision we had that day! It was so tasty that I couldn’t not try to make it at home!
Ok, so I may have cheated and just caramelised the onions in a pan instead of roasting, and used pesto in my mayo instead of fresh basil…. but i’m all about the shortcuts if it means I get to eat sooner!
