Just got back from Whisky Live 2009.
Marvellous. I now have a new bottle of Compass Box Optimism and a 15 year old single malt from Scapa, Orkney.
And a glass of Ardbeg I've just poured for myself.
Food will be something I find from a delivery-type menu. And I'm going to try not to think about what time I have to get up tomorrow to make the 8.05 train from Euston I'm booked on to get to the match.
Pah. But whisky - that's the future.

Exactly, or indeed any other gizzard!General Mannerheim wrote:never contemplated liver as food! eeew.Worthy4England wrote:Hmmm never contemplated liver as a breakfast food But hell, why not?
By way of breakfast, I'd say:
Grilled, thick sliced bacon.
Free range eggs (fried, poached, boiled or scrambled)
Grilled pork sausages
Tinned tomatoes
Potato Cake (Grilled, sliced through and buttered)
Grilled closed cup mushrooms
Two rounds of toast and a mug of Earl Grey.
The weekend starts here!
May the bridges I burn light your way
Sunny Parisien afternoon, chilled Chardonnay, and a Bolton win, life is fecking brilliant.
Edited to get rid of my brilliant Freudian slip for associating Bolton, with bottle. I'm a case study

I have just partaken of the wife's finest: Grilled lamb chops with mint sauce, mixed runner and butter beans,( my choice) boiled, then fried, potato chunks and the good lady's ( who is incidentally, the finest gravy-maker since Mrs Beeton) gravy. I washed it all down with a glass of cold,sparkling..........tap water. (Bless me forum for I have sinned)

For more details.
Optimism is one they did specially for whisky live 2009. I think 170 bottles were produced. I have number 70.
Very pleasant.
And I'm already looking forward to whisky live 2010....

Orangerie is interesting. I had a sample. Wouldn't get a bottle, myself, mind.
But a bitter, orange liqueur. OK with chocolate. If you like that sort of thing.
They're inventive at Compass Box. Although not everything they do works, IMHO....

Bear with me
Bradfords finest curry house, Mumtaz, have started supplying reasonably priced curries to the co-op. Gave them a whirl tonight, impressed.
Anyone seen them on the right side of the peninnes?
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

You mean burnt? Its got to be as rare as poss without giving you food poisoning. Honestly.jimbo wrote:Steak cooked medium rare, drizzled with olive oil and rosemary, with a nice salad.

OK - to throw out a challenge - you have a fine steak (or deeply tomato dish if veggie) - for me, medium rare, hint of garlic - patina of fried onions, two or three well crisped potatoes, mangetouts, and, for surprise, brussels sprouts...
What's the perfect red wine?
For me - Hermitage...
Go!
My favourite dish though is lobbing in some prawns, garlic, olive oil, basil, onion and cherry tomatoes into a pan and tossing it with some spaghetti! Perfect and cheap!
As for wine? How about Lambrini?
Didn't quite phrase that properly... but potted shrimps, Lancs cheese rarebit, etc... locally sourced and grown food. Didn't notice any boarded up pubs though, the place seemed busy.William the White wrote:Difficult to compute that one, but sounds intriguing... please elucidate... half a pasty? one mushy pea?ratbert wrote:We went to the Town Bar in Ramsbottom on Saturday night.
