The cooking looks bang on to me, just how I like it. I would be more concerned about the lack of square sausage, the baked bean dish that seems to contain only bean juice, and the overall portion size would leave me hungry, just 1 tattie scone is tight. I would need 2 platefuls! Also they forgot the toast! 

 

It's the presentation that's the problem here. There's flat sausage under the scone/egg/pudding, and 2 plates of toast arrived after, though it was barely toast and Mick would certainly have sent it back!

For a change it was a full tomato, usually only half.

Sorry folks, can't post a piccy, as I drank it last night. A can of this, interesting stuff.

Her long deceased father never did forgive us pair for pinning his prized bottle of Metaxa, I mean come-on, who knew Greek brandy could be expensive.

P.S.

I got a nominally £800.00-£1,000.00 ish bottle of 24 year old Bushmills malt safely tucked away. 

Either to wet the head of the first grandchild, or otherwise to drink at my deathbed and wake.

Melting the plastic bottle, a fine sign of an excellent vintage I always found.

And your tripe cooked chips Andy??

Cheapskate that I am, I keep coming back to Banks Bitter, which, regardless of the price is a bitter I really enjoy.

Mind you our Co. Down based Whitewater brewery do some stonking fine beers, specially their Belfast Black and Maggies Leap.

P.S.

This profilation of posts is not alcohol induced, I am simply bored.

My Greek pal recently brought me a bottle of Mastic Tears, a Greek spirit.

I'd never heard of this previously despite spending many months in Greece on a number of occasions.

 

Most agreeable.

  

Mastic Tears Classic is a 700ml bottle of traditional mastiha liqueur from the Greek island of Chios. Its unique flavour resembles that enjoyed by Ancient Greeks as a digestif. Enjoy this hard-to-find liqueur, either in a cocktail or as a digestif after a meal. Try the authentic taste of Greece!

Another bold red with tonight’s feast. A bit heavy for lamb - a decent Rioja would be my choice, but a nice potable bottle all the same.

Is that 7 star Metaxa in a different league to the 5 star? I love a good brandy but wasn't impressed with the 5 star at all.

Dear woman watched my angst while the rugby was on and passed me this. 5% and gluten free, with a decent taste!
