Davardi's ftw

Both Puccini's and Davardi's are good calls.

I'll add Bella Napoli in Milnrow, out in t'wilds.

I don't know if they still do 'em, but those Davardi bin-lid pizzas were superb

you had house white with slow braised beef with shallots and red wine sauce...

Ah well, I am a self-confessed non connoiseur when it comes to wine, WTW, and I'm not the world's greatest red wine lover anyway. Main thing, I enjoyed the meal and went home happy. The bottled beer, "Morretti"? was very palatable.

Two or three years ago had nice meal in Cocotoo, under the arches near Whitworth street? Apparently, Pavarotti's favourite restaurant in Manchester when he was alive. Railway arch ceilings with Sistine Chapel deco. Different.

I suspect turkey might feature somewhere along the way.

Anyway, after cooking for about a million people, now its my turn.

So tonight, I'm doing whole roast duck with fondant potatoes, and a lovely bottle of 1995 Faustino Rioja I which I've been saving about 5 years. Lemon Tart and Roquefort to follow (seperately!!), either with a 2001 Blewitt Springs Botrytis Semillion (the Aussies do the odd good bottle) or a 2000 Tokaji. I haven't decided yet.

Bliss.

Pot-au-feu, followed by Prune and Almond Tart with creme fraiche and a couple of glasses of Armagnac.

All to celebrate the irony of moving 1000 miles to get snowed in again.

Cheese on toast and a couple of bottles of Sauvignon Blanc. I've got the central heating on, both fires on, three layers plus my scarf and I'm still cold!

A short walk in the snow to Andy's Fish Bar on Plodder Lane, home and cod, chips and peas and a large mug of hot tea. Do for me.

You know I never was but I persivered and now a white "pales"

sorry into insignificance against a decent red

A really unusual one for me... Fillet steak, medium rare, with onions/mushrooms/garlic and roast potatoes/parsnips and asparagus/peas...

Was a big plate...

Crozes-Hermitage to go nicely with it, and keep going for a little Lancashire cheese afterwards...

I so rarely have this (non-meat eating partner, usually prefer fish anyway, and roast lamb if it's to be red meat) but, you know, feckin loved it...

Congrats to Hobo on graduating to red wine.. A big boy at last...

Point of order here. Some of the very best wines in the world are white. Its just personal preference. From a personal point of view, most of my favourite wines are white.

Does Redex qualify as a wine?
