What are you eating and drinking tonight?

[Worthy4England]

Aye, bloody awful when it smells like you're kissing a kipper.

Silver wedding celebration at Retreat in Adlington tonight. Excellent food and atmosphere, pretty extensive menu and not massively expensive. Definitely recommend

Village my arse. It's a small town. You sound like one of those whimsical c*nts from Little Lever. Of which, there was a tale in the Evening News last night about a Jewelers in Little Lever being robbed of all of its stock. Sum value £15K

[Worthy4England]

We're booked Tattu in Spinningfields for a meal - anyone been? Is it any good?

No, but I can heartily recommend Iberica in Spinningfields.

Hindley "Green" is the worst.

I'm not from Adlington really anyway, Heath Charnock don't-you-know.

Cheers HG, didn't even know Sharjus had gone! Not sure mother will venture down the bottom end though...

Dear God. I've booked me and my parents in for Christmas lunch at a gastro pub, you know, so none of us have to get stressed about it. "But it's £60 each, and do you get any veg with it as it doesn't say on the menu"? No, Mother, they're just going to feed you a plate of fecking turkey!

Tell her, you've got to bring your own!

She'll have had it on since last Tuesday, just in case.

Not a fan of turkey anyhow personally. Don't really get it, it is just drier less tasty chicken. But have to eat it once a year without fail.

Can't help but agree with this. It should be swimming in the stuff. Then the leftovers into a Balti.

[Abdoulaye's Twin]

Christmas in the Twin household involves a large ribeye roast lobbed on the BBQ for a couple of hours. None of that turkey bollocks in my house.

[TANGODANCER]

The days of Uncle Scooge providing the traditional Christmas turkey as a festive bonus are well gone. That was all before turkey burgers and McDonalds and stuff.

Probably the worst Christmas Day meal I ever had was in a big hotel in Benidorm. You had to take the meal as part of the booking and when it came it was so disgusting we left as soon as was politely possible to our table companions and took off for an Italian restaurant down the street. Wife hates turkey anyway, so she had my roasties (both of them) and I ate her cardboard bird with some other nonsense made out of minced flip-flop and sangria corks. I love Spain and Spanish food, but that was a total disaster and turkey has never been the same..

ps: Daughter One is doing Christmas Dinner, and guess what's on the menu?

[Bruce Rioja]

One of the things that I remember from my ill-advised trip to Benidorm some 30 years ago, Tango, is that you couldn't buy Spanish food if your life depended on it. All photographs of pork chops with chips and chalkboards advertising traditional Sunday roasts. Awful place.

Christmas was just a change from the norm but Benidorm's not a place I'd go on holiday to, that's for sure. Blackpool with sunshine and no decent fish and chips.......
