Bloody hell.
You'll be paying a premium on that for Christmas dining, but even then a hundred quid for that unless one of the courses was a cheateaubriand each is laughable. You've been done.
Is that a Christmas dinner featuring a pork pie?
Christmas day surcharge doesn't help either.
Points to whoever can guess where I had the meal though. You already know it's in Scotland.

Ah Christmas day dinner. Yes I know how expensively shit that can be.
Fucking hell. Was it some kind of Xmas work lunch thing? Where was it?

Menu we had was pretty different to the sample on the website, Raoul, as I think they change it daily. Only meat I had was duck (once as a canape with fig, and another as foie gras), with the rest of the menu being more seafood oriented.
Going back to the last page, isn't Irn Bru available everywhere? Never not seen it in a supermarket wherever in the UK I've been.
One of the view pops that is acceptable in its 'diet' form, obviously I don't bother through choice, but if forced you'll find the sugar free one tastes closer to the real deal than anything else does.
Oh yeah it's in shops here, but I think it was on the menu of every restaurant we went to there.
I've still not had a glass bottle of it, reckon I'd go there just for that.
Quality shit from a proper cold can.
Do you mean desserts featuring Irn Bru or just that they served it as a drink?
I've seen Irn Bru ice cream, which was actually quite nice, but only in one restaurant.
As a drink. I don't think I've ever seen it on a menu down here.
Provided they sell it in the Middle East, them Muslim shops along Magdalen Street (where the mega Oxfam is) will have it in a glass bottle.Quote:

Went into Aladdins Cave though.
Looses Emporium down the road is good as well.
Didn't think Lewis would go to Muslim shops.
The newsagents were all thieves, and they sold glass bottle drinks, so I just held my nose.
The answer was Carberry Tower, where Queen Mary of Scots surrendered.
'Queen Mary of Scots'? GS will not be happy about this.
:D
Hf's had a shocker here.
Whoops, I was even warned about that one when I was up there. This whole history thing is hard work.
Got a raspberry magnum at the garage, pretty decent.
I got a Lindt egg on the way home from Halfords. So nice.
Curry later on.
I made some delicious eastern European soup.
Had a banging takeaway last night: Saag aloo, lamb vindaloo, pilau rice and a garlic naan. Off the charts.
Went to a Chinese restaurant tonight, was pretty standard but they had soft shell crab which is always great and sizzling venison in black pepper which was fucking ludicrously good.
'Great' and 'fucking ludicrously good' don't really tally with the original 'pretty standard' assessment.
Everything else that we had was 'pretty standard'.Quote:

Were you using one of those stupid 'share' roulette things in the middle of the table? I hate those and always assume most sensible people will too, so I had that as you saying your starter and main were amazing, but the place was somehow standard overall.
I was hoping for an anecdote were your group left one member light or a triad sword fight had erupted.
No only children like the roulette tables.Quote:

For three you order 5 starters, 2 second courses and 5 mains. If you want more you can request more from those selections but some you can only order once (the crab was one of those).

We went for tempura prawns, squid in salt and pepper, seaweed, crispy beef and satay chicken for starters. Duck and crab for second course with venison, special fried rice, plain noodles, sweet and sour pork and chicken in black bean sauce for main. We only ordered noodles again (the portion was pretty tiny for three) and the venison although I'd have been happy to eat about 6 of those on their own.

I tried this pulled pork sundae the other day. I thought the world's gone mad, but then I remember all the times I've had ice cream for breakfast.
It was alright, but huge.
That looks, quite simply, disgusting.
Christ, that Sundae looks grim. :D
There's a Chinese near us which works like that place Mahow posted, where it's all you can eat but you order rather than it being a buffet. It's the tits.
I was fearful about the onions on top, but they glaze them so that was a relief.
By 'roulette tables' do you mean the lazy Susan things? What about those is worthy of hatred?
Made my ass a chilli con carne for this week.
Chilli :drool:
That's taking the fetish stuff a bit far, surely.
So I added some Dill, a boiled egg and some Polish sour cream to my Borsch. It's absolutely outstanding.Quote:

Bought some kimchi on Amazon, it's damn tasty.
That looks properrr noice.
Best I could knock up between the bottles. Chips could have done with 5 minutes more but all good overall.
Tried churros for the first time today.
Jesus fuck are they good.
Tried them about 5 times. Had them in Auckland, London, and even Madrid.
What's the fuss? Dough in chocolate?
