Mmm nice cakes Edward

Hi there Chin. What happened?

Good morning Bob.

*Mutters weakly: It's Turkey, Turkey I tell you* *Collapses unconcious*

Oh no.

*Throws bucket of ice cold water over Chin.*

You'll feel better now. Just have a few of those cakes I bought for HM's birthday. (curtsies)

I don’t care either. She happened to be in the right place at the right time when she was born and she hasn’t screwed up to badly. So what.

Had what I thought was my final hospital check up yesterday and fond out it wasn’t and I have to go back in six months to check for cataracts. Was really worried at first but I have googled and spoken to people since and it seems it’s no big deal. I haven’t noticed any problems with my lens and if I do need an operation I should be able to see with improved vision the next day.

Tasting dinner tonight. I shall try to enjoy it.

Ooh! Is it like that menu you posted once before? Little bits of posh this and that? You will enjoy it I feel sure Cataract ops are very routine nowadays and as you say, you'd have better vision from the day after surgery as soon as the drops wear off.

I've been out for posh breakfast! I had eggs benedict florentine...sitting on spinach instead of ham or smoked salmon. Absolutely lush! Myself and two of my cat wimmin enjoyed ourselves and although we were meant to be meeting for cat business none of that got done

It is that dinner. I shall have to try not to eat too much.

Posh breakfast sounds nice. I think the last time I had eggs benedict was in Tahoe in a café overlooking the lake.

This was in a pub in Canterbury overlooking the sluice gates of the river.

Afternoonings all peeps. Pot of tea please!

Afternoon all

*tuts* Bloomin' brown nose!

*slaps chinny round the chops several times*

Bugger off & go & howl somewhere else.........

*kicks chinny in the ribs & chants Turkeh Turkeh Turkeh*

Eejit!

Cataract ops are very very successful, a friend of mine had both her eyes done last year.

I'm going.... HERE.... in July........I fear it'll be a waste for me. I'm not in the least a foodie. A Michelin star restaurant isn't my thing.

Afternoon sleeps , we are all fine and well thanks, and yourself? 😀

My daughter got us a vouchr for a tasting lunch there a few years ago. It was OK but I found the food a bit salty and i read the reviews at the time and other people found it the same – I use little salt so things I find salty are often fine for thers. It may have changed. I remember one of the dishes was a pigeon pithivier.

I dislike food where every mouthful tastes the same so I enjoy posh food and fancy stuff.

I don't even know what that is, & it's highly unlikely I would even try pigeon!
I find what I consider 'poncy food', to be more annoying than make me excited to eat them. I find them very pretentious.

I'm a peasant & I don't mind holding my hands up to that.

I'm doing fine fanks Kate, not even seen you in the food thread or the books, you gave up on Ds then ??



I'm Mr peasant, cant stand poncy food or any of that crap, pub grub wins every time for me ! * Burps *

Afternoon Sr, Kate, Gemo, & all

* Puts the tv onto the footie, for Eddy to watch * dont say I aint good tae you fella !

That menu does look very pretentious I must say SR. What on earth is a gurnard when it's at home At the end of the day, I prefer a plateful of something hearty and tasty than an endless number of tiny little pretty dishes of one or two forkfuls each, As for a pre-starter AND a starter.................

Good evening all.


Hi kate, how have you been? Well, I hope.

*Grabs and secures all remotes.*

did you not read #3316 ?

thats the fanks the bar staff gets !

Just heard Prince has died !!

My friend just told me about Prince! Only 57. What's going on with all these celebrity deaths??

RIP Prince, just 57 years ago. A great artist.

Yep, I just decided you weren't having them. As you know, Thursdays are for Emmerdale. End of.

Now go away and start serving drinks. Chin will be here soon and we'll be having our dinner whilst watching Emmerdale.

I love poncy food. My palate is pretty good and I can usually name most of the ingredients in a dish. One of the worst thing about the flu i had (had a letter saying the swabs said I had swine flu) was that my tastes were totally screwed.

I go through phases of really liking something and going off it. Currently I’m into mushrooms stuffed with mincemeat, Southern fried chicken and colslaw, and black pudding with mango chutney. Gone off Mexican food and not to keen on fish at the moment.

It’s a fish. Not one I‘m very fussed about.

Never heard of it

I love fish though. My tastes stay largely the same. Ordinary food for preference. Fish n chips from the chippy is very hard to beat with mushy peas
