primal "win" restaurant for today....

I should have taken a photo before we started but we were hungry and it didn't occur to me.  Oh well!

The Scottish Arms pub in St. Louis has a new seasonal menu with a cheese and charcuterie platter that is TO DIE FOR.  A couple of very mature cheeses, house-made terrines, apricot preserve and duck-breast prosciutto, local salame, etc!  Topped off with a few pickled vegetables and fresh berries....

YUM!!!  After the appetizer, i chose the salad-of-the-day -- field greens, roasted summer squash, tomatoes and green beans,  with a smoked-salmon add-on.  Also a couple of little ricotta fritters (that much wheat and oil won't kill me).  

St. Louis isn't N'Orleans, but it's not to be sneered-at, as a restaurant town!
