Off Topic Beer and chips thread.

If there is no blue cheese sauce available then I'm quite partial to a steak au poivre

 

Now who's poncing with food!

"Peppercorn sauce" is plenty good enough!

 

My oath, how dull can you get. We're not using ration books any longer -
(though you make it sound like you still are?). What about all the influences
of Mediterranean cooking from when people go abroad on holiday, what's wrong
with incorporating some of those to liven up that typical English blandness?
(Substitute parsnips and sprouts for peas and carrots and I'll take the roast anytime )

 

It was sort of tongue in cheek, what really pisses me off is when they paint about five different sauces on a plate, add three peas and a carrot julienne and call it lunch

 

100% agree

 

What's wrong with a lasagne, chilli con carne??
Better still roast pork - though I don't get some restaurants dishing up a lump of roast belly pork approx 5cm cubed, adding a dollop of mash with a smattering of veg and charge you approx £12 for the privilege.

Whilst I'm on my 'high horse' - WHY des nearly every restaurant only give you a smattering of veg??? I know a lot of people don't eat much veg, but for the price of it!!!

 

I love a beef lasagne, but chill con carne is too spicy for me, I have a delicate stomach that reacts to spicy food though I can manage a Madras with mushroom rice

 

Oooohoooo… "Mushroom rice"?!

You poncey food snob!

 

Don't knock it till you've tried it. Mushroom fried rice is proper lush as they say down this way

 

Sign of a misspent youth... too much time in Royboy's café.

 

Just seen Mary Jane's chippie of Cromer mentioned on twitter.

Any good?

 

A lot of people like it and it's OK, but my preference is No 1 and is owned by Dalton Blackstone.

And you thought the Cottage was expensive

 

I ONLY get takeaway!!!

 

Easy to see why
Twelve and a half smackers for fish n bloody chips!?

 

I'd expect Dalton himself to be cooking it for that price!!!!
My takeaway saves me about £5!!!

 

It's Galton Blackiston, of Morston Hall fame.
Mind you, you won't even get the cheeseboard there for £12.45

I was close!!!

Yes, my last line manager took his wife the for dinner one evening and the bill came to just over £100!!

 

And I bet they stopped for fish and chips on the way home because they weren't full
