If the Ambassador are still doing stroganoff then good on them (as long as it's still good) as I cannot think of a much simpler and more effective beef dish (we'll not mention the vegetarian version-chef's put this on the menu when they can't be bothered to think of any other vegetarian meal) Yours in retro Miles Rod,
Nothing wrong with nostalgia. If the Ambassador are still doing stroganoff then good on them (as long as it’s still good) as I cannot think of a much simpler and more effective beef dish (we’ll not mention the vegetarian version-chef’s put this on the menu when they can’t be bothered to think of any other vegetarian meal)

And yes ... the stroganoff is still on ! Pink Butterfly and Lost Shepherd gone, as has the Land of Green Ginger, now a nightclub I think. I suspect I'm guilty of nostalgia, I remember the time and occasions as opposed to the actual food. Either way - happy days The Ambassador is still there, I looked at their menu the other day when walking by. And yes … the stroganoff is still on !

Pink Butterfly and Lost Shepherd gone, as has the Land of Green Ginger, now a nightclub I think.

I suspect I’m guilty of nostalgia, I remember the time and occasions as opposed to the actual food.
Either way - happy days

How about the Pink Butterfly or the Lost Shepherd? They'd obviously lost the chef when I last went and replaced him with a sheep! Abduls was class. Miles Rod,

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. However, change from time to time is a good thing and can bring out the best in us. You Chefs are artists after all and in search of new creations to the benefit of us, I might add. Miles,
