chrisp65 Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 Last time I shopped in our nearest Aldi I got a fanny flash from the girl on the counter. I like Waitrose, but they've never done that for me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post chrisp65 Posted January 6, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 6, 2016 She was working the till. I was stood next to her waiting for her to tell me how much my weekly shop of Aldi Jaffa Cakes and Aldi cheese was when I guess her mobile phone must have buzzed. I don't know, perhaps they are not allowed phones, or perhaps she just likes it that way, but her phone went off and as it turned out, it was inside her knickers. So she just pulled her trousers and knickers out wide enough to be able to read the screen on her phone. I don't think it was for my benefit, I think she just instantly forgot I was there when her important message vibrated her into semi consciousness. She was hairy, but not unpleasant. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 My Indian side dish of choice over the past 6 months has been egg curry. The horror on some folk's faces when you order it can be quite entertaining. It's a real 'don't knock it til you've tried it' dish. Everyone we've been out with that has braved it were sold within seconds - Lovely. The next day can be a bit touch and go, but when you're looking at the menu, the risk seems worth it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Revisited a Sri Lankan cafe we used to frequent years ago when a friend lived above it. You didn't see many Europeans in there, they made no concessions to the Western palate. It was amazingly cheap, the lamb rolls were 50-60p and their version of a Scotch egg - Where the meat was curried fish - was 70p. On a Friday they did a veggie thali for £5. You didn't know quite what you were eating but it was wonderful, and fookin hot! Today, 20 years on, it's still a fiver! It's also still fookin hot! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 That Sri Lankan looks amazing. Two ostrich fillets from Iceland for £3. Bargain and very tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 after watching rick stein in shanghai* i tried cooking chairman mao's favourite dish, red braised pork, basically tried to make it like chinese pulled pork rather than using pork belly, sugar, soy sauce, cinnamon, ginger, star anise... was good, not sure if id be better off going to wing yip and just getting a jar of char sui paste (great stuff btw) served it with some potato straws and spring onion will try it again with a couple of tweaks, definitely a good meal in there somewhere * i like rick steins BBC travel programmes, watched his india show this morning too, strange considering i think of him as a fish chef that i have little interest in his restaurant because im not a massive fish eater but he's going to interesting places and seems a sound enough bloke to make it a good watch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
