What are you eating and drinking tonight?

[thebish]

this morning I had poached fresh free range egg "saucepan" on toasted bread "toaster".. yum!

[Gooner Girl]

Alright for some! My new - still unnamed - chickens haven't laid me an egg yet! Humph!

Don't think I could ever give up cheese.

Back to the imposters on the food chain - joining celery at the top of the list is the radish. Evil little bastard.

Try thinly sliced radish and fennel in a vinaigrette with some really fresh white fish.

You'll thank me for this one day.

Here you go, Chef. Where's the best place for your average punter, such as I, to go to obtain the freshest fish available to him?

[Bruce Rioja]

Well heads up folks, because cheese made from sheep and goats milk is not bad for you at all.

So the Roquefort and the toasted goats cheese crumpets are back on then?

haven't we already had this roquefort conversation? i remember everyone being mighty relived about it a few pages back!

Willy - The wonderful discovery for me was that giving up smoking was actually piss easy - it really was - once i really knew, deep inside, that is what I wanted to do... before that never managed more than four months...

Ten years ago - only rarely tempted since, never succumbed...

Errrrmmmm... it only took me about thirty five years to get to that place though....

Good luck, man - you'll never regret...

Need to echo William's words here - pretty much to the letter.

Seven years ago for me (having started whilst still at school )

Billingsgate?

Other than that, in the north west I'd be heading over to Fleetwood way very early in the morning and buy it from the dock side in bulk and freeze it yourself. Fish doesn't really harm too much from freezing, as long as it was good quality in the first place, and has been well handled. The major problem with supermarket frozen fish is that is was the crap that nobody wanted fresh in the first place (or plaice, b'dum tish).

I tend to buy mine through work, and obviously because we're dealing in bulk, we can get better stuff, so I don't really know any decent fishmongers. C & G Neves in Fleetwood might be worth a bell, as I think they deal with the public.

Cheers, in a bid to bypass the supermarkets I've been going down to the fish market at Ashburner Street, which is no better - and often even worse.

[Lord Kangana]

Yes, sadly its shit.

If you go in from the flower market doors it's the last stall on the left, just before the doors to the car parks... We don't buy our fish from anywhere else... it's genuinely good... But, when you are really longing for golden bream and portuguese sardines it's disappointing everywhere - just less so here...

Thought that's the one you meant. Had some nice line-caught cod from there. That big stall on the right about halfway down - After last time I wouldn't have any more fish off of there if they were handing it out for free.

Yep, absolutely dreadful.

[boltonboris]

If that's the one I'm thinking off, we bought some monkfish from there. You probably know that Monkfish has a seethrough membrane outside the muscle that has to be removed before cooking, we asked the fishmonger to completely skin, bone and do the works on it, so we can just cook it without fannying about. He left the membrane on. So when we pulled it out of the oven it was a rubbery mess... perfect in the middle, but once cooked this shit sticks to the side and ain't budging!

Bastards... feckin' expensive fish too!

Alright for some! My new - still unnamed - chickens haven't laid me an egg yet! Humph!

But you've doubtlessly forgot to buy sausages, and as such will be making Hole in the Hole.
