I take it that Manchester was suitably lively for you? Yep, you can't beat the old classics can you? It's what Britain built it's restaurant scene on, that and red check tablecloths with candles in empty wine bottles!! Miles GDave,

That's a new one on me, sounds intriguing though. As for vegie dishes well anything with broad beans, peas, wild garlic is good right now, wild leeks have all but finished which is a bummer :( Miles Cid,

I was pub luncheoning on Sunday and one of our number ordered a Prawn Cocktail. Tears of nostalgia were welling up. Your mushroom stroganoff looks simply delicious. I love the idea of garnishing(?) with seperately fried "posh" mushrooms. Mum is so right, Melissa's story is a pure 'diamond in the rough' experience. Well done to that biker bar chef. Some time ago I got it into my head that chefs actually welcome off-the-menu orders. Whether this is true or not, the Italian waiter in the restaurant in which I tried this theory gave me several shades of sarcasm when I asked if I could have gnocchi. You live and learn. Dave. PS. Oh Hai! I'm back from my Manchester holidays. Nice to see you all! Miles,

Not only did you receive excellent food where least expected, also the chef delivering it clearly surpassed himself. No doubt he too will remember you and has also learned from the experience. As Annie would say: All part of life's rich tapestry :). Anne Melissa,

What other vegetarian dishes would you recommend at the moment? Doubt you had the time to watch the Kew Gardens tv programme last night but they featured Bread Fruit. Now many years ago when I visited Brixton market I bought a Bread Fruit and baked it for my mother. Having lived in the Tropics and being an optimistic eater it was nice to present her with something she hadn't had before. I can't remember exactly what we thought of it but I've never seen it in the Shire, nor for that matter anywhere else. Cid Miles,

Far more so than I would be I suspect. He sounds like a nice guy and by the size of him I'd probably say that anyway! Miles Melissa,
