Was this an Ibérico pork cutlet?

I was reflecting on the pork cutlet that I had the Milton Hill House hotel and remembered I had a similar experience at the Marriott Hotel in Glasgow. Checking back through the blog I realised I hadn’t written up that meal, though I did write up the conference dinner at the same hotel.

The menu described the pork as an Ibérico pork cutlet.

pork chops

What I actually got was two pork chops, a grilled tomato and some chips. I am not confident that what I got was Ibérico pork. It was tasty and did have a good flavour. I wasn’t that impressed with the slightly chewy rind, I would have probably removed it before cooking.

I think it would have been good to have something green on the plate, but I guess I could have ordered an additional side.

The chips were nice, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

It was okay, but I think it could have been so much better.

Conference dinner at the Marriott

Back in October I was at a conference at the Marriott in Glasgow and there was a nice conference dinner.

For the starter we had a confit pork and apple terrine. I wasn’t a fan to be honest, the terrine was rather plain and I don’t really like oatcakes.

The main was a roast chicken supreme stuffed with haggis. It was served with dauphinoise potatoes and vegetables. This was rather nice, not spectacular, but tasty.

The salted caramel tart was very rich, it really needed some ice cream to offset the richness.

Overall I did enjoy the meal, certainly better than some conference dinners I’ve had, but not one of the best.
