[BWFC_Insane]

Michael Caines Abode in Manc last night for dinner.

Calamari and spinach tortellini with squid ink sauce and chorizo
Slow cooked feather blade of beef with truffle purée and jus with bourginised (cooked in red wine i think that meang) shallots, mushrooms and pancetta.
Passionfruit souffle.

Damn good it was too!

My God, that sounds delicious

Dare I ask how much?

That's absolutely incredible. You could blow that at the coaching house.

Really should have taken a closer look when you posted that link (though am looking forward to San Carlo).

Didn't know it was THAT sort of place.

Yeah it's a great deal, same with their normal lunch menus (not the one I posted.......)

Over at mi bezzy mate's last night, we got food taxi'd over from Nam Ploy. Utterly, utterly fecking delicious. Perfect level of flavour combined with spice heat so that you can feel it, but comfortably. Magnificent.

[Little Green Man]

Baked cod and chorizo.

Supposedly being treated to this next week. Its being built up to buggery-f*ck. With good reason?

[CAPSLOCK]

And for gods sake get some real ale down their necks. The only way we'll stop that pish Peroni from being imported is if the market collapses over there because they've all stopped drinking it. Do your bit as an Englishman.

I can't stand 'ale'

Like a fair few continental brews but don't often bump into 'em in Asda in a 12/15 strong box

Peroni is fine for what it is

Cold, fizzy and drink a box at a time, nae bother

Boxes ticked

[Lord Kangana]

I try to avoid anything that I can't drink without a fridge handy. Warm Peroni tastes like I'm going to contract Leptospirosis.

[CAPSLOCK]

Well, yes

But then I'd say that about most things I'd drink - even some of my favourite witbiers

Each to their own, I suppose

[Lord Kangana]

Pain in the arse on a long trek away journey. Or a day at the cricket. Though the bastards make you drink their pretend ale piss now. This is when bottles of proper beer come into their own. You'll come round one day.

[ohjimmyjimmy]

Warm lager is fine if its good lager.
Peroni is fine,even warm,for me.
But for bad news, nothing beats red wine. strong red wine...none of your italian shit.

[CAPSLOCK]

Anyway

I supped in this place on one Euro jolly

I'm going back one day

It's my promise to myself

I know Commie joined us but it was a blur after 2 hours pouring our own

I was leathered when I left but was still out 6 hours later, like you do

Well, I've never heard a bad report, or even a mediocre one. Am confident that even an old pro like you will approve. Let us know how you get on.

Edit: Ordinarily I avoid prawn crackers as they are flavourless and dripping in fat. The ones from Nam Ploy are exactly the opposite and I implore you to get some.

[CrazyHorse]

Had some pork roasting in a bath of Strongbow all afternoon for tea later on. Whoever said I was a rough-arsed uncultured twt clearly didn't know what they were on about.
Smells absolutely amazing.

Next time I'm in Madrid, that's a cert... Plaza Santa ana my favourite square, two statues of playwrights...

And the Prado my favourite museum,...

[CAPSLOCK]

Its about 3 doors from the place that sets itself up as Hemingways bar

That place served its ales in ceramic pots

[Bruce Rioja]

I'm tasked with looking after a couple of Italian visitors next week. Where's the best place to take them in Manny for lunch on Wednesday? Think on, lunch not dinner. Expense isn't a concern. Gang? Does Albert's Shed do lunch?

San Carlo.

Mancini in there a lot.

Thanks for the heads-up on this one, Fella. They (and I) absolutely loved it. Fantastic place, service and food. I had pasta with crab claw meat, tomatoes, garlic and chilli. It was that good that I didn't want to send any back and tried to finish it all (and failed) despite being as full as an egg. My guests spoke to all the waiters in Italian - I was hoping that they might have caught one or two out ("Mi name's not really Giuseppe, it's Carl") but nope

[Gooner Girl]

Just made lasagne (for first time ever... ) Was delicious!
