Sea food chowder and other elastic snappers

Posted by stocky on March 22, 2009

So the weather hasn’t been too bad there’s been motorcycling invovled ALL is good

I went up to c Cromwell with my friend on Saturday stayed the night in Roxburgh then home on Sunday

No work today as its Otago anniversary day so I’m at home this morning catching up with the “paper work” [Nah not stoning up REAL paper work haha]

So anyway on the way up to Cromwell we stopped in at Lawrence to have a bite  to eat and found this great wee cafe’ called “Cafe’ Mine”

They serve the single most amazing seafood chowder that I’ve had in absolute years the recipe is a closely gaurded secret apparently the lady who owns the Cafe’ informed us that she had developed it over several different reciepes and had made it gluten free [this is particualy good for my mate as she is glutten intolerant]

Years ago when living in Nelson I would atleast once a week go for a ride to Mapua [20mins on the Harley] in the Tasman bays and  frequent a small restaurant on the old Mapua wharf

Their sea food chowder was to “die for” and I was well known to use it as an aphrodisiac by taking a “friend” to lunch and encouraging her to “have the chowder”

I’m not sure what it was, being the chowder alone or the combination of the sea food with the ride on the Harley but it seemed to work

It’s hard case, one time a mate who was looking for me and went to my “brother” [bikie speak for closeist friend]  who said “It’s Wednesday afternoon He’ll be at “Mapua seafood” with some girly on his bike then He’ll go up to the top of the Takaka hills for a ride” [talk about predictable but what the hey if it works  why not????]

So as you can imagine I thought the sea food chowder was like the “holy grail” of horny tucker

Well long story [even longer haha] is that the sea food chowder at the Cafe’ in Lawrence beats the Mapua fare hands down

I’m in no way trying to detract from the Mapua guys at all their chowder rocks the knickers off of chicks, but the the meal I had on Saturday and  on the way home on Sunday was the single most amazing sea food chowder I’ve had to this day in my life

So guys if you’re travelin the road through Lawrence [in central Otago] and you would like to experience a true cullinary delight, GO to the Cafe’ Mine I’m sure you will not be dissapointed [and the prices are very reasonable at under $20.00 each including hot chocalete for Tracey and long black for me]

So now I have a new [knicker] “elastic snapper” I’ll have to start looking for unsuspecting girls haha
