What are you eating and drinking tonight?

[thebish]

But did you used to go to the chippy with your own bowl for them to put the pudding (& fckg gravy) into ?

"People today ... (blah, blah) ... don't know they're born .. (yadda, yadda, yadda)".

that was the workhouse, Bobo - you're getting confused again!

When I lived in Swinton there used to be a forty yard queue outside the English chippy by the Bull's Head every Friday dinner/tea time, comprising pensioners clutching their own enameled dishes!

[Gary the Enfield]

I have queued outside Bill Thorpe's on Eskrick Street with TWO casserole dishes (we were a big family)

AND we had fckg (cheers Bobo) gravy on our chips.

[TANGODANCER]

Chippy at the corner of Livingstone Street/Belgrave Street, off Halliwell, used to have a big vat of butter beans simmering all the time. Never ever had gravy on a fish, that's a no-no, but chips,fish and those butter beans with "soup" was glorious. Oh, and a few scraps too, of course.

[Lord Kangana]

Gravy with everything from the chippy.

Will be mandatory come the revolution and I'm in charge.

[Wandering Willy]

It's a reasonable platform to base a manifesto.

[Wandering Willy]

To add - bangers, mash and beans (baked) and onion gravy for tea.

TD inspired.

Yes. Of course. It's lush.

I was supposed to pick middle son up from college today at 1:15 - but I totally forgot and didn't get there until about 3:20! (his mob phone was dead - so partly his fault for not charging it and then ringing me to remind me!!) - BUT - I needed to make restitution..

so - tonight - (a first for me) - I made cheese and onion pasties, served (as he likes it) with scalloped chips and beans....

Thought you only had two?!

You clergy - what are you like?

[William the White]

Spicy butternut squash soup... salmon fillet with assorted green veg... Very, very nice Hardy's Crest Chardonnay/Sauvignon - on offer at morrrison's, bruce...

[Wandering Willy]

No gravy?

[William the White]

No gravy?

no chips, no roasties, no gravy, as far as I'm concerned...

Really? Love Sauvignon Blanc, Will, hate Chardonnay. Also walk past anything saying Hardy's Crest on it by dint of it usually being utterly shite. If you say so though I'll give it a go. BTW, have you visited our new neighbour yet, Squire?

I'm the opposite on grapes, Bruce - but this is a nice, fresh number, without the oil of some Oz chardonnay and not at all dominated by the sauvignon taste that I really don't like, but giving it some crispness... Worth £5.50 to try it out...

[Bruce Rioja]

OK, I'll give it a go. Chin chin. Have you been in Barron's yet?

Is the butternut squash soup homemade? I've started getting into making it, about four times now but it takes ages to peel the squash. How do you peel it?
