Jesus I would be useless front of house. One thing is I never learned about wines as I was always in the kitchen which is one regret I have.

Is that the place? I like that show though it's a bit contrived at times. Fancy joint :eek:

I mainly worked in London, Cork city and west cork.

Yeah the show is contrived alright more so by the invited diners talking crap. Its a fancy place now alright and was back in the early 90s. But it has obviously under gone a major refurb because apart from the reception area, I struggle to recognize it.

I hated being a waiter. That place used to do silver service on a Sunday. A nightmare. Wine was easy back then. Not like these days. I loved the kitchen despite the head chef being a prick. He was great craic after service though.

But to keep on topic, another Rockshore. Cheers S!

back on topic indeed.
I am having another edam sandwich with the gorgeous red pepper relish. So tasty and the bread is super fresh.

Suppin on beer.

I made one serious toasted special for myself today. Loads of ham, cheddar cheese, tomato and onion. Buttered on both sides. A huge scoop of Hunky Dorys on the side. An old fashioned toastie.:D Chinese takeaway tonight. Pints of Rockshore now.

Loin of Pork thawing for tomorrows dinner.

I live on toasted specials here.

I picked up the very last of the cheese in Lidl. I got three varieties and two different types of crackers. Going to have a cheese plate at some stage.
They aren't gourmet cheeses but they will do me fine. They are the Deluxe range so should be nice enough.

soft white roll with butter and almost the last ( boo hoo dreadful thought!) of the Wensleydale with cranberry cheese) then a big bowl of home made trifle. I make the best trifle in the world once a year...

celebrations ae within reach but I am too full already and about to sleep the new year in - or the old year out.

Happy New Year all... stay safe out there..

Just finished our yearly New Years Eve seafood fest....a huge bowl of large argentinian wild prawns, lobsters, scallops, a prawn ring, tons of garlic butter with crusty bread and some skin on chips. Have two teenage kids, been doing this since they were 5 or 6. It's our once a year mad splurge.

Thanks! I tried it before. It's ok but there's little veg with it. It's not bad for a shop spice bag though. Lidl has the same one.

You should have got a bottle of Champagne for the week that's in it.
I think Lidl do one for 20 euro.


I have party food as well but will only cook a little bit of it.
