I agree, a sign that a place has lost any self respect is when beverages start to get served in that shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember coffee tasting that bad (but it's still joyless) because it's strongly flavoured enough to over power the plastic coated paper cup taste but the flavour of tea is easily ruined by it.

That's were me and Mr Slowly used to meet up when we were truanting cos there was no chance anyone we knew would eat in there and we wouldn't get caught The food was inedible but at least the tea was served in a proper cup and saucer unlike all the plastic tasting disposable crap you get now. Truanting , now now does surprise me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 @Pedro are you familiar with a chef called Yotam Ottolenghi? He does a lot of Middle Eastern cooking and has some fantastic recipes (a lot of them for free in The Guardian). He has the ability to get the flavours to the next level in a way that blends both old school and modern. I think you’d really enjoy him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember going to the village shop when i was in school it was in the front room of a street house, the old biddy took an age to get out of her living room to the counter, by the time she got there half the chocolate bars had gone by the boys in there having a five finger discount, i'd pay for my quarter of cola cubes couldn't do that to her but Woolworths pick n mix that was a different matter 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boboneleg Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 In our early teens we went into a corner shop in Bristol on our way to Easville Market. It was quite early on a Sunday morning and it became clear that the owner (sat on a stool) was nursing a big hangover. He told us to sort ourselves out , so we did. We had about five chocolate bars each , put three pence in the till and took out three pound notes as change 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 When you said a custard tart was an important thing in Portugal I will admit to a quiet scoff but I take that back now I've read this.

A sprinkle of cinnamon powder is mandatory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
