Caesar Salad

Osla's, Lerwick

Difficult to find any restaurants in Lerwick. The net said there were nearly 20 but arriving in town it was a bit quiet. Eventually found Osla. Al Diavolo Pizza, Caesar Salad and bottle of red. Salad was interesting. The usual ingredients but a generous helping of anchovies, olives and for the first time ever a chinese lantern fruit.

Pizza was disappointing. I ate it as I'd been sitting in Aberdeen airport for the previous 4 hours and was starving but when the waitress asked if it was OK I made the comment that it wasn't very spicy and she said 'people don't like them too hot". The jalapenoes were insipid, the chili con carne sauce was without chili and it was very bland. Why offer such a pizza if you don't give it a bit of a kick.
