    I've had a right run-in with a Persian caterer recently. Quoted me a thousand quid to do a shitty event for which everyone else is quoting £300, I told him the price was no good, then he called me three times a day begging me to reconsider and that his offer was great value actually and I'd got it all wrong.

    Luckily I'm well practised at confrontational discussions with Persians so managed to shake him off after about three weeks.

    I hope that really is a shitty event because one does not simply substitute Ghormeh Sabzi and Barg with chicken nuggets and potato smileys on the basis of financial savings without risk.

    No pics but it was a huge lamb and chicken kebab with a ridiculous amount of rice.

    The food at "Dinner" was really very good.



    The famous "Meat Fruit", which is chicken liver and foie gras parfait in Mandarin jelly. I almost didn't order it because it is just pate and toast at the end of the day, but I'm glad I did. It is gloriously good.



    Wife's starter was crab salad on crab brioche toast with cucumber ketchup and trout roe. Very fresh dish but I really don't like cucumber so not for me.



    My main was duck, duck hearts, turnips (fondant, puree, pickled) and red wine sauce. This was my favourite dish. Duck was perfect.



    Wife's main; salmon, champagne jelly, caviar, seaweed butter sauce, asparagus.



    My dessert: chocolate ganache, passion fruit jam, mango sorbet. Banging.



    Finally wife's dessert which is their other very famous dish, the tipsy cake. It's a good dessert but overly sweet for me and not up to the hype. She absolutely loved it though. The pineapple is incredible.

    The restaurant really doesn't suit the room though. They go for quite cosy and not overly formal service (which is what I prefer) but it's set in a big, grand, high-ceilinged room in a fancy hotel and it just doesn't match the space.

    The bread was meh and came with "lightly salted" butter, which is an insufficient level of salting. Cocktails were great.

    You can definitely see Heston Blumenthal's obsession with trying to find the best way to do things rather than the received wisdom way in the food. The sorbet - which they freeze with liquid nitrogen - was another level of smoothness, for example.

    Made this for dinner and it was banging. Looks a prime candidate for the list of quick but not tragic weeknight dinners. Bang in some noodles for heft.

    You could drag stuff out of landfill and itemise it, if you ended the list '...with lime' I would scoff it for days.

    I always liked corned beef. Not sure why it has so many detractors, as I continue my campaign against every supermarket having display after display of shit watery ham.

    Went to Gautier last night for the grand diner which was interesting. French vegan sounds like an oxymoron. Quite impressive what they did, although I will admit that I could probably have polished off a kebab on the train home.

    Will have to see how it stacks up against Plates as I'm off there in August.

    Also went back to Heritage again the other day which seems to get better with each visit.

    It is indeed. Although I prefer Shakshuka, which is similar but the eggs are poached in the sauce, rather than scrambled into it.

    Very strange post to go viral, fish can do with a bit more grilling and heathens may point to an excessive pea portion if they fail to recognise the glory those green bastards hold but, as James says, that's a very good meal, especially in this day and age.

    Outdated, arbitrary and straight-up wrong conventions like the a meal must include meat or that the meat should be the primary focus and portion are the reasons why we find ourselves where we do.

    Get some protein in yourself, lad.

    Not really. They're only about 5g per 100g. Better than a lettuce, but no grown man is getting their protein needs from veg alone.

    Not without eating an unholy amount, anyway. And even then, it's not the same quality of protein you get from meat.

    Unusually I'm with Taz here, the masses of British twitter seem to favour only one kind of food which is just utter shite, they detest vegetables or salad, fried meat and chips only for them.

    Peas and mash is a sad side-pairing. Rice and beans obviously the best.
