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.

Surreptitious · 31-12-2020 6:41pm

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.

Graces7 · 31-12-2020 6:46pm

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.

Tucker tunsel · 31-12-2020 11:43pm

Great days! Two types of batter. One in the jaw and another in the takeaway. Been there and done that. I need to invent a T-Shirt.:D The curry sauce came a bit later and we loved it. I have no idea if the food was ****e as it was what the doctor ordered back then.

Surreptitious · 01-01-2021 12:40am

I remember waking up with curry sauce in my contact lenses. How my eyes survived I'll never know

Great days and you looking to chat up a young one while in the q.

Curry was always a messy job though,no taxi man was keen on bringing you home if you had the curry sauce showing
