What are you eating and drinking tonight?

[bobo the clown]

Mostly tonight I was NOT eating tripe stew which the pencil-biter ordered in a Tiawanese in Chinatown in London.

A stunning concoction.

Also blessed to meet Mrs Pencil biter. What a lovely lady.

I asked that ... They said they didn't like you.

Fair enough. I don't like me either.

Samosas and Party Pies for Dinner!

Fajitas toneet!

Figs in Morrisons radically reduced from 90p to 25p for 200g. We bought 8 packs - 1.6 kilos - for 2 quid.

I think tomorrow is fig and apple chutney making, and one thing I fancied was roast figs (which keep up to a week in the fridge according to the recipe) - and the writer eats them for breakfast with granola and yogurt. Not keen on granola but could be good with oats and yogurt.

I love figs. I was given a fig tree for the garden for my birthday this year - hoping to get some fruit off it next year.

[KeyserSoze]

I ate this yesterday



A BLT with a mountain of chips, with the top bit of the butty being a croissant.

I'm still not sure how I feel about that.

Will - we may have had this chat, but if you can find a recipe I really can;t recommend in strong enough terms you have a crack at fig and cinnamon chutney. With blue cheese (any) I'm yet to find anything better.

You've been Americanised. Give your head a shake!

Ha.

Have you experienced the terrorism of buying a butty over there ?

"Could I have a beef sandwich please ?"

"Certainly sir. What type of bread ??"(followed by a bewildering list of types on offer, barked out in a mantra style).
And what 'covering' would you wish ... sir ? ... "
Covering ?" ...
"Yes sir, which covering would you like, sir ?" ...
"I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you mean ..."
"Would you like butter, vegetable spread, margarine, mayonnaise, low fat mayonnaise, low fat - low sodium - low oil - low egg - low key - low colour - low taste mayonnaise .... sir ?"
"Oh .... butter please" ....
"which butter type would you prefer ... sir ?" (the "sir" is really beginning to sound pointed now).
(sigh) "just .... butter ... please".
"We have full dairy, home made, farm made, low sodium ..."
"Farm ... farm ... thanks, farm will be fine".

She will then begin to make the white soda bread, with butter, beef sandwich after putting on gloves which initially make you think she's an extra in a CSI film.

THEN you are asked what type of beef you want with such a bile that you suspect she's a vegetarian with a chip on her shoulder and positively resents you buying meat at all. She offers, through gritted teeth, a minimum of 20 types of prepared beef. You chose one at random just to get this over with.

No chance, you now have the offering of various green stuff and tomatoes and pickles and onions .... followed by 25 types of chutney, mustard and horseradish. Piling up the concoction she cuts it in curious ways and packs it into a wrapping you'd be happy to use for a Christmas present.

You only wanted a fckg sandwich.

"Have a nice day !!"

I've certainly had the misfortune. They don't half charge as well. Cheaper to go out for steak in many cases. We have the same problem here due to the total Americanisation of take away food. I'm sure a shop selling a spam and piccalilli barm would do well here.

But i said butty and chips and everything

At least they didn't dip it in egg and fry it I suppose.

They do look a lot like fries too!

Used to cost a lot less until some research was published saying it helps the body fight disease and it suddenly doubled in price!

Hilarious isn't it? especially when you consider you're far batter off buying honey that was made as close to your home as possible. Theres one that makes it in Harwood. It costs about 4 quid. And tastes better too, ffs (what the f*ck is that Manuka taste? Its horrible!).

Especially if you're asthmatic. Local honey made from local pollen. Go figure.
