Posh Food

Yep. Having lunch in a greenhouse!?

cock off.

ha!

It's only a café in name.

I should know, I asked for the all day fry up and got ushered out of the place, sharpish.

i went to bistrotheque yesterday, if your boiled potatoes are hard you might as well close down. saying that, the banana tart with peanut butter icecream was great

I'm going to Hawksmoor for Sunday Lunch. I'm getting ready to release my inner caveman.

Chateaubriand. Do it.

catfood, i am very jealous of you. petersham nurseries is one of my favorites. the skye gyngell book is great

Rib. 950g. With marrow. Go.

Had hanger steak with marrow a couple of nights ago at Hix. Was wonderful.

xander, must say i have never heard of it, tho mrs cf has been dropping plenty of hints. i'll steal some cruet sets for you.

She's the doris that owns PS. Aussie....

fuckinell, that was a bit good. lots of ladies who lunch tho. sorry x, no salt and pepper on the tables.

Did you buy a bag of compost on your way out?

i did. and a fifty pound trowel.

recomendations for a teetotal friday night restaurant date venue? central or south. doesn't need to be "posh" but this thread seems to be more restaurant-based than the food thread so...

plans to be out of town tonight have fallen though some and the lady friend want to go for dinner. i have to get up and swim a long way tomorrow so i'm not drinking and have totally run out of ideas.

ideas?

...don't drink?

...move to Utah?

Maybe you and Dammit could form a bedwetters support group? :P

Can you not just abstain from alcohol for the evening?

change the g in their name to a q and that's how you spell my first name. reading that at a glance just confused the fuck out of me for a second.

am going to have to try it out now.

blimey that's a bit much. lumped in with a bedwetting weight weenine!

'course i can! i've abstained all week. and will continue to do so for a while yet. it's just that that place is inextricably linked in my mind with great squid and great rioja. those are the reasons i'd go back. just seems a bit like unnecessary temptation to go there and deny myself half the pleasure.

in any case, back up plans have fallen though as well so it looks like i'm cooking for one now anyway.

they give away free pizza and pudding at 'The Alpha Course' dooks, im sure they're pretty booze free.

shut it russell.

...what kind of pudding?

no meaning of life pudding for you, then!

your best bet is to find a BYOB joint near you, that way you wont be tempted to ask for a wine list.

ffs! i'm not an alcie... alchy? alckie?

how do you spell al-key?

i'm quite capable of eating without booze!
