    One of the vegetarian options, I guess.

    But really, I read that as "Lemon Turd Cart."

    I would eat what you want, just watch portion control.

    One night like this won't ruin your weight loss. Events happen, the best way to deal with them is try to eat in moderation and enjoy it.

    So something I would have read too!

    Seriously though, I'd say the Fennel salad, the lamb shank with olive and lentil jus (mind your portion sizes! 3oz will do with the lamb), and I tend to skip event desserts for not knowing what's in them. Neither of the appetizers sounds good to me, so I'd skip those too. Maybe ask if they have some fresh fruit available?

    If you really want dessert, go for the ice cream, IMO. For appetizers, well, one's as good as the other. Just don't go hogwild eating them. Save room for the meal. :)

    Those look like really fancy foods. As someone who thinks zucchini is a treat, I would suggest you just worry about portion size and enjoy the fancy!

    Thanks guys! I think I'm going to go with the vegetarian options... I've been exercising so much this week to try counteract any weight I will put on!

    I'm rubbish with estimating portion sizes, I guess I will just have to leave something on my plate to make me feel better! lol

    I would skip the desert... but I've not had any sweet treats for ages!!! If there is fruit though I will definitely go with that :)
