Brighton up your day

Brighton really is a marvellous place for a day trip, isn't it? Especially when the sun is shining, as it was on Sunday. I was there to visit a friend, and we made the most of the glorious weather by going for a boat trip down the coast, from the marina to the remains of the West Pier and back again.

Once the sun had gone down, we had dinner in a vegetarian resaturant in The Lanes called Food For Friends, and I would highly recommend it! The food was really interesting and original, and very, very tasty, despite being terrifyingly healthy. I had tofu pockets to start, which were, according to the menu:
Sweet tofu cases, one filled with asian mushrooms, spring onions and avocado, miso roasted butternut squash, and an oriental mirin and tamari dressing served with a trio of pickled vegetables
followed by sweet potato and coconut curry:
Roasted sweet potato, butternut squash, cashew and coconut curry with herbed spinach brown basmati pilaf, cucumber riata and spicy vegetable crisps
You can almost see the vitamins!
