thought this might be an idea for here

 

When I went to Jamaica I stayed in an all-inclusive hotel, but the bins outside serving Jerk had a queue that was usually 10-12 deep $450JD for wonderful food (=£3)

Verdura last night basically steamed veg but a bit of do it yourself with seasoning, different oils, vinegars and mustards.

And a glass of white and right Picpoul ... maybe I should call it the House White?

That dish always reminds me of an anecdote in one of David Niven's autobiographies. During the war, with rationing at its height, Niven was in a gentlemen's club as a waiter told one of the crustier old colonels that the starter of the day was Moules Marinieres. The colonel was outraged "Good God, they're servin' us moles now!".

Watching this will help you appreciate TV chefs more and an example of why we shouldn't

I think it's VR because the ingredients are invisible most of the time!

Last time I was in Brussels, I had a large dish of Moules & a bottle of wine, when I got the cheque I was charged for a small dish and a bottle of beer, I paid & left, as I was leaving I noticed the young Japanese lady at the next table had a small dish & a beer. OOPS

I think if I'd read this beforehand Futtocks it might've put me off my Toulouse Sausage sandwich for tea

They did put this in my mind though, the Toulouse sausages that is .....

I just bought some black garlic ketchup. I tried it first with some ham and cheese toasted sandwiches, and it was delicious, but have been having several thoughts about how to use it in more creative ways than just as a condiment. Definitely going to use some in a marinade or BBQ sauce, as soon as possible.

We got some as a free gift recently great stuff and we just used it in any of the recipes we use garlic for.

Going to Search for Bio Muscat sec wine and Olive Oil places today all around the P O.

And lunch out somewhere of course!

We're in a gite in a vineyard at the moment handy but dear.

Searched for days in the woods for the wild ginseng but found none....I'm not giving up...I will find some! 

I'm going to make me one big giant sarsaparilla of root beer when I am done!  And I'm going to drink it in one giant gulp too!

I have just terminated my Virgin Wines account with extreme prejudice. They used to deliver through an excellent courier company, but that has recently been bought out by DHL and the service levels have plummeted to the point where I can no longer trust them to do something as simple as deliver an order.

I decided this year to give every company I use three strikes, because anyone promising convenience and delivering inconvenience does not deserve my or anybody's time and money; Virgin Wines used their strikes up (and more) over the last three weeks of lies and incompetence.

The courier can make all the difference, we've had a few pretend they tries to deliver.

But keep this place in mind if you're in Britainy

Three strikes, in three weeks, that means a delivery of a box of 12 bottles each strike/week. Do you have a drink problem? 36 bottles in 3 weeks ???????????????????
