Lunchtime rambling

Posted on February 17, 2005 By admin 6 Comments on Lunchtime rambling

I was having lunch with Katy earlier today and we started talking about opening a B&B in Montreal and styling it after a traditional English B&B, with adjoining pub – maybe calling it Ye Olde English Manor House (ok, maybe not as tacky as that). What's your first gut feeling on the idea? Do you think that a B&B that served traditional English fare with old-world service and new world amenities could work in Montreal? Is there room for another B&B in town? In any case, it was a nice way to spend my lunchtime.

    only if you're in need of a part time brewmeister.
    did I mention that I was raised by chefs and worked as a cook and caterer.

    yeah
    *grins* I seriously need enjoyable employment.

    I think it sounds good, I'd be thrilled to get some real british pub food

    you didn't, but it's good to know :P As for real british food, Katy's going to teach me how to make yorkshire pudding, and I can invite you over for roast beast & gravy some sunday :)

    I haven't had it in soooo long, but typical family comfort food :) Steph makes a mean sticky toffee pudding that would probably go well with
    and bubble and squeak of course.
    so *very* hungry

    I've been thinking about having an LJ potluck at my place soon. I could bake a quiche and do my savoury rolls.. *ponders*

    It could be a good idea if you have a good location, I don't think it could work if it was in Pointe-Aux-Trembles, but it could definitively work in the Old-Montreal. I don't know why, but I see a Sherlock Holmes theme for a traditional English B&B.

    Mmmm! nice idea ! If it is affordable, I would happily board there when I go to Montreal (instead of always squatting friends' homes… :)

The Alchemist's Guild is opposite the Gambler's Guild. Usually. Sometimes it's above it, or below it, or falling in bits around it.
