Sea Food at the Kicking Donkey Pub

A Vickie Pollard Culinary Creation

Sea Food a la Vickie

Thursday night has always been Seafood Night at the Kicking Donkey Pub in Cloverdale, that is until the last cook was taken to hospital for food poisoning. The new cook, Vickie Pollard, is allergic to sea food - which poses a bit of a problem for the pub's regulars. Vickie proposed changing Sea Food night to Indian Curry Night but management didn't warm up to the idea. She also suggested Navajo tacos but got a thumbs down from the rest of the staff. Vickie Pollard faced a challenge. There are two things Vickie never backs away from - a challenge and walnut rum cake. If sea food was requested then sea food it would be - Pollard Style!
Last Thursday the Kicking Donkey introduced Vickie Ballard's newest dish, Wiener Squid on a sea bed of schooling macaroni garnished with green bean sea weed. The meal was served hot to your table by Vickie's granddaughter Eva in her Little Mermaid Halloween costume. A pint of the the pub's strongest ale came with the meal. After a few sips of the ale you wouldn't know what you were eating anyway.
Oh that Vickie Pollard. Who else could get away with a dish of sea food without sea food.
Vickie thinks she has a hit on her hands. The customers were too shocked to comment. Will the Thursday crowd be back. Time will tell.

Vickie and Pub hostess 'Two Pint Lily' enjoy a cup of tea and a sampling of the pub's famous Walnut Rum Cake. Keeping Vickie away from the desserts is a bit of a challenge.Vickie recently joined Cloverdale's Fat Fighters.
Time will tell.
