Not sure how to post a photo from an IPhone but a few changes:
Scallops replaced by a chicken terrine (will try it).
Beef cheek replaced by a ham hock salad.
Soup, artichoke tortellini, halibut still there.
Nice Corton Charlemagne 2012 and Corton Renardes 2008 :-)

Unfortunately I may not be in the CCR for a few weeks so won't have a chance to take photos of the new dishes.
Can someone takes photos of the Persian Chicken Terrine, Confit of Gressingham Duck, Pulled Ham Hock Salad please?

I had my first stab at the new menu items yesterday:
- Persian chicken terrine: frankly forgettable. uninteresting, bland, and the vegetable ribbons with raisins on the side was both tasteless and slightly bizarre when it comes to the dish balance. One of the weakest starters I have had at the CCR. I wish that would disappear at the end of the month.
- Duck confit: good dish - duck itself was not that well done, managed to be both dry and fatty, while a good confit precisely miraculously avoid both, however, the cabbage and parsnip puree were very good and lifted the dish. On the whole, I'd say I still preferred the halibut which is quite good.
- orange, lemon, mascarpone dessert: excellent. Good and original, sweet but fruity, and confirmation that dessert is what the LHR CCR seems to do best, and the one element where it consistently beats the JFK CCR.
On the whole, I would say that we lost more than we won with the January/February substitutions but not by much and the standard remains good.

I'll happily give it another go! Yes, in my version, the skin was rather soggy/fatty which was a shame but that might just be that it was not cooked well yesterday. I'll test it again when I'm back in a couple of weeks!
