TBH their home made Minestrone was superb. Why is it that vegetabley bits like onion retain the heat for so long  rubschin:

I actually ended up spending more time selling refreshment tickets than making sandwiches; clearly my avuncular charm outweighs my culinary expertise  cool14:.

Also had a pleasant chat with my MP and her Mum; I'm warming to her, she can be quite a thorn in the government's @rse from time to time.

I knew a seriously alcoholic bloke once. He was staying in someone's house and one morning emptied their drinks cabinet: vodka, whiskey, gin, creme de menthe, lager. The he "felt peckish" and ate a pork pie he found in the fridge.

Then he threw up.

"I think that pork pie was dodgy" he said, seriously.

If he was an alcoholic the food may well have been the problem!  ;D

Lamb shank? ~ bet you paid a fortune for it .... cheapest cut on the whole animal .... until the Chefs made it fashionable butchers used to give it to little old ladies who wanted "a nice bone for the dog"
My Lil Bruv who is, as you know, a butcher tells me that he delights in seeing all the idiots in eateries that he serves paying up to £25 for a lamb shank that he is selling to the kitchens at about 50p. Biggest rip off since they made cheffy burgers fashionable at the Notting Grill.  point:

£25 for three courses. Whitebait to start, lamb shank for mains, creme brulee for pudding. Bottle of wine, half bottle of bubbles, coffee. Total cost £40. Did not feel drunk, dire evening, girls bitched about husbands and men.

Nope. Mr Wench was travelling back from Wales, the husband was sitting home alone watching rugby, the boyfriend of another was who knows where.

Not a normal night at all!! Hence the not doing girls night again.  sad24:

Whitebait is exactly that to an angler. You mean tiddlers that you can use to catch larger fish. Very cheap about £1 for two dozen in local tackle shop. Lamb Shank 50 pence wholesale + some steamed veg = another 50p tops. Creme Brulee = Egg custard ... (allow one egg per person + a teaspoon of sugar for glaze) .. costs about 5 pence. Cheap wine at £1.50 a bottle wholesale. Half bottle bubbles £3.00 top price if he bothers to stock half bottles Coffee + 5 pence a cup.
You were robbed.
But, if you had a nice time and can afford it, why not?

Whitebait is always a bit dodgy as they do not gut the fish .... just deep fry them guts, heads and all. OK if they are fresh but iffy otherwise. Personally I avoid them but then having "cheffed" I would.

Well, I had fish ‘n chips from the top of the road and it was lovely…

Something you can’t get in Cyprus so I shall probably have a couple more before heading back next week – will have consumed enough fat to keep me going through the winter…

What do you say to that Cheffy?

I didn't and I can't.

I'd have been happier at the local pizza restaurant with the cheap wine and food where we always have an enjoyable time.
