Re: What are you eating and drinking tonight?
Last night rather than tonight I made a beef stifado (any comment Wigan White?
), which came out really well. I'll be making that again soon. I also have a couple of lamb shanks in the freezer for a kleftiko.
Love Greek food, for anyone who hasn't been, Sokrates on Winter Hey lane in Horwich is well worth a visit.

Hand Dived Sacllops are outrageously expensive. That's really not a bad price.
Without wishing to lecture, people in this country have no concept of how cheap their food is compared to many other countries. The USA aside, where its just all absolute f*cking dogshit. But cheap. So yay! for the USA. I blame supermarket "price wars" for giving people ludicrously unrealistic expectations of how much things actually cost.

Re: What are you eating and drinking tonight?
Saturday night was spent at Prashad in Bratfurt, a vegetarian Indian restaurant. Apparently it came second in some Gordon Ramsay programme on the best restaurants in Britain a few years ago.
I had real misgivings beforehand, as I do love a bit of meat (fnarr), but I needn't have feared. We shared a mixed platter of onion bhajis, potato and spinach 'balls' amongst other bits and pieces to start (I've no idea what they were tbh, but they tasted bloody good). The main was a dish of peas, carrots, cauliflower, peppers and courgette in a fantastically spiced sauce. I honestly didn't miss the meat element of the meal and was stuffed by the end of it. Though this may have been partly down to me stuffing my face with a side order of masala chips, which were amazing. Would definitely go again, if in the area, despite the lack of meat.

I didn't to take it to seriously when somebody told me accountants make a lot of money (I thought it was only the very very senior ones), however the amount of times you eat out Ray I'm beginning to change my view. None the less I know you have to work hard for your money and do a job that most either couldn't do or wouldn't do.Burnden Paddock wrote:Saturday night was spent at Prashad in Bratfurt, a vegetarian Indian restaurant.

Re: What are you eating and drinking tonight?
Just had post meeting lunch with client in an Antwerp restaurant. Funny bunch, this lot. As we're very much enjoying and discussing the excellence of the nosebag, there, playing away in the background, in this order, The Ace of Spades, Whole Lotta Rosie, then the dueling banjos bit from Deliverance. I shite thee not.

Re: What are you eating and drinking tonight?
These days the only options for me are veggie currie. Most of the time when I see my mates tuck into a meat dish they're served up a few pieces of chicken in a spicy, slightly worryingly coloured ghee slop, or some lamb (on or off the bone) hiding in a pile of spinach with a sprinkle of okra if they're lucky. A full-on veggie dish is a thing to be hold. Cauliflower explodes between your molars, mushrooms slink between your teeth and gums, carrots, peas, green beans and spuds all get mashed together in oozy, mushy goodness. Add in a few chunks of paneer's awkward, tofu-like consistency and it's an absolute culinary delight.Burnden Paddock wrote:Saturday night was spent at Prashad in Bratfurt, a vegetarian Indian restaurant.

The best curry you can get is the Cabbage curry served up at This N That in Manchester on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Absolutely incredible. Best thing about that place is - the boss and his son are Wanderers fans. I've even been to a game with em at City away. Top Boys!

Re: What are you eating and drinking tonight?
Lads, when we're back in the PL and face City away on a Saturday afternoon we should all go for a pre-match This N That cabbage special. It's absolutely brilliant. Pints and farts afterwards too. Splendid.Lost Leopard Spot wrote:It'll be just your luck too, that if the cabbage curry was DNA tested you'll find it was mostly grass...Bruce Rioja wrote:Crikey, you must sound like the USS Nimitz in a fog the day after.Dr Hotdog wrote:These days the only options for me are veggie currie.
