After another helpful Chiropractic session with Eloise at New Milton I met Jackie at The Quench for lunch.
Once again the Assistant Photographer used her camera to add further details to https://derrickjknight.com/2023/12/20/quirky-cruets/
Displays not pictured last time include a collection of coronation mugs and a tribute to Jonathan Livingston Seagull ;
and another set of quirky cruets.
This dog, quietly reflecting on the shiny floor, was allowed in because its humans were well behaved.
My blogging friend, John, having studied the menu published in the post mentioned above, had expressed his pleasure at seeing
American pancakes listed. Naturally I therefore chose and enjoyed them while Jackie was equally pleased with her cheese and onion toastie. The pancakes were served with maple sauce and rashers of bacon, which I found a delightfully intriguing mix.
This afternoon I made more progress with “The Charterhouse of Parma”.
Later, we all dined on further helpings of Jackie’s wholesome cottage pie, boiled potatoes, crunchy carrots, firm Brussels sprouts and broccoli, with which she drank Peroni, and I drank more of the Cabernet Sauvignon.
Pancakes with bacon and maple syrup are the best!
They certainly are!
Thanks very much, Val
Sounds delicious, Derrick. If maple sauce is anything like maple syrup, then it and bacon are two of my favorite combinations. Glad you liked it.
Thanks very much, Pat
I love the ship salt and pepper shakers!
Thanks very much, Liz
You’re welcome, Derrick.
Aw, what a handsome well-behave doggie! š
The food at The Quench looks so yummy! And such a great name! I’m sure when diners depart they are quench-ed and happy! HA!

Thank you. very much, Carolyn XX
I had to look up the difference between American and British pancakes. I’d eat either. But definitely maple syrup on the American ones. š
I like all the quirky cruets and that sweet dog.
Thank you very much, Merril
I love the cruets. We had a dog like that one, but brown, called Moss. I always thought he ought to have been green with that name, but Mum thought otherwise.
Thanks very much, Susan š
I love the clever boats, and the charming droopy dog.
Thank you very much, Donnalee
Mm, pancakes and bacon are so delicious together! Thank you for mentioning me, Derrick. I would love to have breakfast at this restaurant. ????ā¤ļø????????
Much appreciated, John
You are welcome, guys! āŗļøāŗļø
An interesting lunch at “The Quench” Derrick, and the doggie is very cute …
Thanks very much, Ivor
Youāre welcome Derrick
Iām at odds with everyone else. The thought of pouring a sickly sweet sauce over bacon fills me with horror. I donāt eat pancakes either!
Iāll take savoury over sweet any day.
Iād love to visit the Quench most of the food sounds delicious.
I am as savoury as you, Sue. What surprised me was that the sauce was not too sweet at all. It sat very well on the pancakes – but not on the bacon. Thanks very much.
Ah, that was a surprise. Strangely, I love sweet and sour.
Me, too
I would have not guessed ‘pancakes’ at first glance. I thought it was crabs with butter.
(Off I am to look for my glasses.)
Thank you very much, Bridget
Those boats are such a wonderful idea.
Thank you very much, Gary
Loved ‘because its humans were well behaved’.
Thanks very much, Chrissy
What a delicious meal, I could eat that for any meal! That is such a unique ship and what a surprise when I realized it to be a salt and pepper shaker, love it! The dog just fits right it, so content.
Thank you very much, Diane
I probably go for the cheese and onion toastie. Cute dog. Glad its humans were well-behaved.
Thank you very much, Peggy
You and Jackie have chosen a good place to meet after a visit to the chiro. Perhaps by now you can look around at your surroundings without having to move your shoulders š
Nearly, Anne. Thank you very much
That’s a lovely photograph of that little dog, Derrick!
Thanks very much, John
My pancakes are more crepe style than the American thick ones. I love these quirky cruets!
Thanks very much, Dale
Pancakes, bacon and maple syrup sound delicious. I also like Jackie’s cheese and onion toastie meal. The dog looks very content.
Thank you very much, Eugi
You’re welcome, Derrick.
LOVEly photo of the dog
Thanks very much, Sheree
What a sweet dog! Glad she has well behaved humans. š
I am glad you had an opportunity to enjoy pancakes, Derrick. I bet John is pleased, too!
Thank you very much, Lavinia š
That thing that looks like sliced cake is a cheese and onion toastie?
It is, Dolly. Thank you very much
I am impressed. You are very welcome, Derrick.
