What are you eating and drinking tonight?

If you have a life outside of BWFC, then this is the place to tell us all about your toilet habits, and those bizarre fetishes.......

Well, I 've never actually been there, although I've meant to for ages. Went over to Bronte land last Sunday and with the wind howling across the moorland you could almost hear Heathcliffe calling for Kathy. Not sure what the Bronte girls would make of the wind farms of today though. :wink:
Don't know about the windfarms, but they would surely have approved of Haworth's Bronte Balti House.

I have visions of Charlotte staggering in there, 10 pints down on a Friday night, and ordering 5 popadums and a vindaloo, whilst casually abusing the waiter.

You know it happened...

Hmm. You'd been drinking hadn't you? Was Kate Bush dancing around the place scaring people?

Balti house! Wash your mouth out with Pears soap sire.

It is a great British tradition, good fellow, to take your repast in Haworth from the excellent fish and chippery at the top of Changegate (main street). Why, the sisters may well have partaken of cod and chips on their way home from the Apothecary there before dashing home to scribble off another classic. Balti House indeed. :evil:

Don't know about the Brontes, but didn't Jane Austen write Sense and Sensabalti?

Don't know, but if it's true there was a Balti house in Haworth then, maybe it's how Juddering Shites got written. :mrgreen:

Well, to get back on the food track,I did get to a puddery, Hollands steak and kidney to be exact. Brought up to scatch by the good lady of the house with some of her excellent gravy, home-made chips and mushy peas, tea bread and butter. Homely fair but delightfully satisfying. :mrgreen:

Curried vegetable bake. A layer of leeks, broccoli & celery initially flash-fried with with ginger, chilli, paprika, coriander & cumin, topped with grated carrot, parsnip & cabbage mixed with ground fennel seeds and Lancashire cheese. Interesting.

Without going into all the details, an otherwise perfect evening was soured slightly by opening a 2005 Labore-Roi Chardonnay that had corked.

:cry: That's horrible.

That happened to me with Hermitage once - the soddin price of that is bad enough, but ruining the meal...

Was replaced willingly when I returned, but even so...

Probably won't be eating much tonight. Big staff meeting today and the women all cooked stuff at home for lunch. All sorts of everything and plenty of it. Stomach's groaning. Carribean chicken, Beef in red wine, lots of different rice, piles of sandwiches and cakes etc. Add fruit and wine and the thought of food has disappeared for quite a while. :wink:

You chauvinistic swine, you!

Then again, TANGO, you can't see very well, your hearing is shot to hell and your sense of touch disappeared years ago at the Royal Oak when you tried to touch up that bird who turned out to be the pot bellied stove.

Ah well: 'Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn . . . ' :mrgreen:
