What are you eating and drinking tonight?

[TANGODANCER]

I'm tasked with looking after a couple of Italian visitors next week. Where's the best place to take them in Manny for lunch on Wednesday? Think on, lunch not dinner. Expense isn't a concern. Gang? Does Albert's Shed do lunch?

El Rincon?

El Rincon?

Get em into the Wetherspoons and introduce them to 'no teeth' Mick, 'one arm' Harry and 'blind' Tony.

[Prufrock]

TD has it for me, went for lunch a while back and was ace. Ferdinand's I've heard described as nowt but shit.

[Bruce Rioja]

El Rincon's my favourite place on earth, but maybe a little too, shall we say...... bohemian for the occasion. I'm now being recommended someone or others chop house with a statue of Lowry in it. Anyone?

That'll be either Sam's or Tom's Chops House. Both are the same company, Tom's is on Cross Street and t'other one is round the corner Back Pool Fold.

[Bruce Rioja]

Cheers Dave. It's the one around the corner that was recco'd.

Lunch.......Dinner...........Supper............if you're in Manchester, the only place to go is Rusholme, preferably the Lal Hawelli or the Shazan

That's about the only word I would have accepted to describe any unsuitability of El Rincon, but yes, point taken. Good choice.

I've been to one of the chop-houses. Was belting. The long thin one round the back of St Annes

Mancinis always in San Carlo and because Italian food is varied I wouldn't have an issue taking them there. Big menu and top draw.

OK, booked San Carlo. Would have loved to have gone to Caine's place, and regardless of what I said re-expense, £72 a skull without wine, £110 with, for lunch, would certainly see the piss-taker's card being played.

I'll let you know how it goes and, more importantly, what the Italians make of it.

[TANGODANCER]

One for future reference is Cocotoo's under the railway arches on Whitworth Street West. Had a couple of Christmas do's there and remembered Pavarotti dined there a couple of times when he was in the City. Sistine Chapel effect ceilings and all that, but the food was always decent and the prices must have been okay for us to go there.

Jeez, feel the pressure now. Hope they enjoy. It's always been good when I've gone.

Abode also do a lunch menu that is more normal, 5 courses for £23. So next time that's an option. Just showed you the tasting menu based on what you said re expenses.....

A new one on me that, Tango. Cheers.

feck. Would've done that had I seen it.

No pressure, Chief. I'm quite sure that Terry Manc can eat where he likes, and if he chooses to eat there then I'm sure it'll be just fine.

Just made Mr GG and i a hot drink. Normally we have tea. I decided to ring the changes tonight and have a hot blackcurrant - which i absently mindedly added a good splosh of milk to after finishing making Mr GG's tea. Nice....

Let it go cold then make blackcurrant milk lollies out of it.

Hot Ribena or hot blackcurrant tea? I'm sure both will positively benefit from a good splosh of milk.

Hot ribena (well, apple and blacurrant squash from the co-op)
