Boston Tea Party, my preferred study spot on the days when the university study spaces are too quiet, has just updated its menu. Although jacket potatoes are gone, they've added a selection of sides to go with the menu. Now, I'm not a fan of a big lunch, so a side is often the right sized amount of food for me. In fact, now that a side salad is an option I suspect my study-lunches might actually get healthier. But on this occasion it definitely did not. One of the sides is 'Courgette Fritters with Harissa Mayo' - and anything that involves both fritters and mayo isn't exactly the healthiest option. If you need an excuse, this probably does count as one of your five-a-day. As the picture above shows, it's a pretty generous portion - perfect for my lunch habits. I wouldn't have thought that courgettes were a match for fritter-isation, but these were lovely. The crispy batter combined with the softness of the courgettes, which were pretty much perfectly cooked (I can be pretty fussy about the level of 'done' that my veg turn out as). Plus, the harissa mayonnaise was pretty incredible; I'm on a bit of a 'hot' kick at the moment, mostly in the form of jalapeño bread and 'mexicana' cheese, so the addition of a bit of heat to quite a 'meh' condiment was wonderful. I'm pretty convinced that this should only be a treat-lunch, rather than a regular lunch habit, but it's delicious.
