What are you eating and drinking tonight?

[Bruce Rioja]

Ahh, I should've explained. I bought it at Christmas but it's been sat on my rack for six months (well, until I put it in the fridge about a week ago).

Pretty much backs up what you say though - they were obviously punting it out to be supped over the festive season and not to be kept in the cubby hole until summer.

I've cut my losses and sacked it off now anyway and opened my first bottle of 2010 Montaria (the Portuguese red that I buy off Naked Wine). Absolutely superb. Benefits massively over the 2009 for being 1%vol less.

Chin chin.

[TANGODANCER]

Al Fresco Simplitico tonight. Very hot day and didn't fancy anything cooked. Had two big,soft barmcakes of roast beef from the market, spread with English mustard, Steak tomato, lettuce and topped with Walkers cheese and onion crisps. Add an ice-cold San Miguel and that did real nicely.

Oh, splendid work, Capslock. This is the place on Darwen Rd, isn't it? I didn't know that they have a website, so thanks for that. I fear walking into a wine shop as such as the prospect of being confronted by an expert is just too much to bear. Banging on about "sulphur on the nose and hollyhocks as an aftertaste" is more than I can face!

Cheers.

yesterday went to the Cider and Perry festival at the Palace Hotel Manchester, an impromptu visit yesterday afternoon. I had a hangover by the evening, without breaking much sweat

Was there myself yesterday too, lord knows how I never saw you it's such a small place. Some fine ciders on offer and some reet nasty ones too.

Keep intending to go there myself. I note his list now includes Portuguese, Bruce. CAPSLOCK's intervention, i think.

Having been out in Manchester last night, waking up with a mother of a hangover and sleeping most of the day, I'm now wanting to eat anything and everything we have in. Absolutely starving. Reckon I might start with an omelette...

When he's managed to get Swiss wine on there he can call himself influential.

India Gate's that one that used to be one of those Miller's Kitchen type gaffs, isn't it? Walked past it twice last week and it looked proper busy.

Went to Ashoka a few weeks back on a Monday and it was shite - the chicken was cold!!!!

Got a pal staying over next week so will give it another blast though. The first time I went it was superb. What's happened?

Where is India Gate? And is it better than Spice Valley?

[General Mannerheim]

Bradshaw/Turton. Formerly the Turton Heights

i cant compare, but id gamble 'yes'.

[Bruce Rioja]

Turton Heights, William. Top of the hill on the road to Hawkshaw. Of course, Spice Valley is the acid test for any other Indian restaurant.

[hisroyalgingerness]

Last I heard, they'd had a bit of problem with Environmental Health up at India Gate. May want to steer clear for a short while.

It's all about East is East in Manc for me when it comes to Indian
