Seconded. They hadn't a fecking clue as to who'd ordered what and could have cared even less.

We had to sort it out amongst ourselves.

There's a £7.99 Douro Red at Morrison's at the moment that is pretty damn good.

Get it as part of a 25% off half dozen and it's under £6.00. That makes it very good value.

Mmm... Portugal...

The smoked salmon risotto with Aldi Reserve Chenin Blanc tonight. The elderly grandma enjoyed it so much I think I may now be the sole beneficiary.

I've been making it for her for quite a while now. She keeps asking me for the recipe but she's not getting it.

Not tried the BBC version.

Buy some Strega. Thats the secret. Not coffee liqueur.

Then follow any recipe you like - generally it'll be dip your ladies fingers in coffee/alcohol mix and place in your tray, then whip some cream with mascarpone (I also add raw egg whites and sugar to give it smoothness. Depends how squeamish you are). Cocoa powder to finish.

But you'll have to trust me, its the Strega that makes the difference.

Earl Grey Tea smoked rainbow trout from Asda for lunch. That was a find. Delicious.

You know, this is the quietest bonfire night i can remember...

But my wife baked a brill parkin... You can always trust these middle class southern girls to get cracking with the quaint northern customs... Desperate to fit in, obviously...

A perfect combination...

In the days I ate red meat Ox tail stew was a winter absolute favourite... 4 hours at gas mark 2 I seem to remember...

Yeah, glad I had the 'Signature' rather than any old shit fish and chips... By the time my fork had found its way through Greaseland and I discovered the 'white' fish, I knew, deep within me, that none of the other 49 shades of fish could be as grim as this...

I dread to think what's in a Gregg's steak bake. I guess that there's red meat in it though?!

Tried that and the Grapevine Merlot at the weekend, the latter with a gorgeous lamb rogan josh. Slurrrp!

Trivento Malbec tonight - trying to realign my tastebuds after manlurgy.

Indeed. The smell in that tiny shop is hard to beat!!

I've even been known to post orders to grateful friends down south, who are unable to make the trek oop north.
