Re: What are you eating and drinking tonight?
Your guided tour Bruce will come in useful when we visit NYC in December later this year. We promised the family that we'd take them Christmas shopping in the Big Apple so really looking forward to visiting some of your recommendations....Bruce Rioja wrote:Had late lunch at the absolutely amaaaaaazing Cafe Fiorello. Apparently it was Pavorotti's favourite NY restaurant (there's a little brass plate with his name on on his favourite table). The Italian nosebaggery bar has just been reset to 'Extremely fecking high', Wow.

Re: What are you eating and drinking tonight?
Tonight was revisiting Saturday - the leftovers from a small friends and family gathering which involved assorted tagines and homemade baklava. I claim no credit (and certainly deserve none) for the stunning assorted flavours of an aubergine tagine, a chick pea one and a chicken one. That's just the main ingredient... the chicken one, for instance, had apricots, ginger, rosemary, garlic, honey and other stuff.
The baklava was my wife being inspired by Istanbul... Was brill...

Re: What are you eating and drinking tonight?
I've been sent a mail by Tripadvisor asking me to rate my favourite restaurant in Bolton. Now then, I've never even heard of the following. Anyone? Any worth checking out?

Isn't Victoria Inn Fanny's?
Nick's restaurant is Nick Cullen. He has two restaurants. One on Chorley Old Road and one in Chequerbent. Other thatn that I don't know.
Re: What are you eating and drinking tonight?
Is it The Cheery Tree or The Cherry Tree? If it's the latter then I think it'll be the one on the A6 near the bottom of Dark Lane. Used to be the Drunken Duck and Thatch and Thistle amongst other things. Run by the folk who used to have the Yew Tree I think. Food is really, really good tbf (well it was 18months ago) but calling it Bolton is fecking pushing it. Be surprised if it wasn't a PR postcode.
Also, coming from Bolton way it would mean driving past the Rivington Bar & Grill, which is tough to do!

Tis the Cherry Tree, aye. I thought it was that one but I have that down as being in Adlington.Prufrock wrote:Is it The Cheery Tree or The Cherry Tree?

Re: What are you eating and drinking tonight?
As would I. However, their website has them as being in Blackrod with a BL6 postcode. Fecking tenuous !

Re: What are you eating and drinking tonight?
Anyway, last night I surprised myself by pulling off a culinary masterpiece with stuff I had about.
Garlic smushed into a knob (loool) of butter and spread on a chicken breast which I then wrapped in two bits of bacon. In th'oven for 25 mins covered with foil and then another 10 without. Sat it on top of some mangetout and babycorn drizzled in olive oil and lime juice. Was fecking amazing, and took less than 10 mins to prep. I'm sticking lime juice on everything from now on!

Re: What are you eating and drinking tonight?
That sounds well fit. The saga of my new kitchen's running on and on (4uckers have sent the wrong worktops now) and the novelty of going to my mum's place for dinner every night's now wearing pretty thin indeed.

I have a very good burger seasoning recipe you can have. Save yourself from mushed up bean patties.

Bean burgers !!! What an appalling image.

Today we are merrily grazing our way through Turkish delight with pistachios in it. Remarkable stuff. Thanks, visitor from Turkey.

Re: What are you eating and drinking tonight?
Absolutely that. I struggle to eat that rose stuff. Today, however, we have a leave-ee who's brought in her own bodyweight in cakes for us, so now the Turkish delight's been put away until the cakes have gone.boltonboris wrote:With the cocount dusting?Bruce Rioja wrote:Today we are merrily grazing our way through Turkish delight with pistachios in it.

We also have something called Chak Chak which the Ruskie's fetched in. It's fecking awful. It's something coated in honey. This'll only be eaten by the Office Gannet which, surprisingly, isn't me.
