What are you eating and drinking tonight?

[CrazyHorse]

First tea drinking and now egg poaching.
This place is one What showtune are you dancing to tonight? thread away from becoming the unofficial John Barrowman fanclub.

[Lofthouse Lower]

Speaking of whom - if you put Barrowman and Russell Brand side by side you'd never guess that Brand was the straight one.

[Lord Kangana]

I have no idea who John Barrowman is.

But from your description, he sounds like a reet coffee drinking water stirrer to me.

[General Mannerheim]

feck swirling!

[Lofthouse Lower]

what an error

How did the dummy run go?

Haven't done it, Chief. I'm reckoning on it being simple enough even for me not to make a bollocks of.

True. Even a cock like me can manage it.

I might throw some prawns in with it too.

Hmmm...

Might be overkill. Question would be when to do it and how much?

Last night, in London, at Morito on Exmouth Market, my daughter and her fella treated me to a much-delayed birthday meal at the tapas offshoot (literally next door) to Moro - perhaps my favourite restaurant in London, maybe even UK...

We had a lot of tapas... Of which my favourites were tiny new potatoes in cumin and coriander flavoured olive oil dressing; chick peas fried in chilli and coriander, which made them crunchy and spicy; slow braised belly pork; jamon and quails eggs; and flash fried grey mullet (not overcooked, for once!) in a spoonful of fishy broth... We had lots more and none disappointed...

To drink - a bottle of Galician Airen, dry, fragrant, cold, perfecto...

So - recommend to lovers of Spanish or Mediterranean fusion food... Hugely. My first visit to the baby place, but it matches up to the big Moro excellently... Exmouth market is pedestrianised but not at all 'smart' - we had a street table in the early evening sun... Good street life to enjoy, as well as conversation and food...

Big thanks to G to the E and the good Lord K for advice. Dinner party went extremely well and the food was an absolute success (I was even asked for the recipes - crikey). Many, many thanks.

Cheers Bruce. It's my one and only but it's a doozer!

Do you charge VAT on your invoices GAry?

Do you charge VAT on your invoices GAry?

Oh yes. Bill's in the post.

[Lord Kangana]

Good. I wan't sure whether to knock it off mine, but seeing as you're doing it it'd be rude not to....

[Bruce Rioja]

In the spirit of exchange (and bill dodging) I must point out that the recipe for mustard soup that I put up requires much more mustard than it says. I used two tablespoons of wholegrain and a 'good blast' of English. Worked a treat.

Ate at Carluccio's near Covent Garden last night... fantastic.

simple - authentic - well cooked - unfussy Italian food.

I had a simple risotto, a glass of Nero D'Avola, a bottle of peroni red, a basket of assorted breads and a coffee....

Carluccio was responsible for this BBC programme:

Ginge - is this the same 'Katsouri's' that's by Bury Market? I was going to get some tunch from there once (the peri-peri chicken having been highly recommended) but they had a queue that long I didn't bother.

[General Mannerheim]

is the same company Bruce. but there is one on Deansgate in Manc which i expect HRG frequents.

the Bury one is too small for the crowds, but the queue in manchester is usually pretty bad too.

its worth waiting for tho, both are fecking immense!

Sorry, mate. I wasn't clear. Yes, what I meant is are they both basically the same bunch?

This peri-peri chicken; that good?
