Off Topic The cooking thread….

A match for Jacob Bronowski and Gilbert Harding if ever there was one.

 

Interesting recently watching a rerun of Ascent Of Man. The days when audiences had an attention span longer than 3 or 4 minutes and could listen to someone talking about something without fancy effects and a booming soundtrack. I see TwoWrights as the irascible Gilbert Harding figure.

Have a look on BBC iplayer. Eric Burdon Rock and Roll Animal. Worth a watch.

 

Oddly enough Ebenezer's Sunday lecture this week was on possible uses for the Roman dodecahedron. Steverico's suggestion whilst interesting, could prove to be anatomically difficult, although Rovertiger said he was willing to give it a go.

More akin to Mike Harding. Which reminds me of an oldie. Q, what do you call a sarcastic cowboy? A, Tex Piss.

Seen both. It was refreshing to watch "The ascent of Man" again. Reread his book about three years ago as it happens.Used to listen to "Brains Trust" before it became a TV show.

 

The Eric Burdon one was interesting. Enjoy hearing Steven Van Zandt’s thoughts. If you look him up what a long and interesting musical career he has had. And was in one of my very favourite TV shows of recent years Lilyhammer.

 

Do you own a well hammered dulcimer ?

 

Oh yea, please enlighten me.

 

Frigging hell, no one is that good.

I see Kenneth Clark's "Civilization" series is currently re-running on BBC4.

 

Yes, have got it on record.

 

With a smear of Coleman's English mustard on buttered Roggenbrot rye, mais oui !

 

Went to a 2 x Michelin star Indian restaurant today. Food was really good, original, surprising, good service and ambience. Was it worth the money? Not sure, it’s still Indian and for me it lies a bit heavy in the stomach. Worth a try if you’re that way inclined, in the area and feeling flush. Gymkhana, Albemarle St, just off Piccadilly.

 

Fine dining tonight in the Yorkshire wolds….

 

Old school…east hull council estate food ….tinned ham salad…my kids look confused haha. lovely!

 

In Strasbourg that’s an Alsatian Salad - you’d pay top dollar for that!

 

You mean it's the dogs bollocks?

 

**** sake I wondered where that missing plate went, had to go out and buy a new set lol
