Trying to pin down the guy doing this food thing is like trying to nail jelly to the ceiling. Since I chatted on here about it, it was going to be exclusively organic, then he couldn't get enough people, so he said he'd accept people who were going for organic status, then it still wasn't enough, so it was all comers, now it's something else - I STILL haven't got a date, and I've left his 8 messages. to coin a phrase,
'He's doin' my 'ead in!'

[merciasounds]

you're confusing me this morning!! you'll have the steak fluff, but are tempted by the steak? and moriarty, I haven't got any prunes for you not to have, so you have to not have plums that i've got that you don't want....

Oooh choices!

Chicken and sweetcorn soup but no roll.

Grilled fillet steak, hand cut chips, sauteed mushroms, beer battered onion rings, peas, grilled tomato, blue cheese sauce.

Milk chocolate mousse, in a white chocolate box, with a dark chocolate and Tia Maria drizzle sauce.

I'd be happy with just the cheese and biscuits as long as they aren't those wierd sweet or wholemeal ones :)

Can I have a liqueur filter coffee? :)

For lunch today I had a beautiful meal in a tapas bar in Whitstable:

Roast belly pork with a rosemary jus (and there was lots of meat, with crispy skin)
Roast veg - squash, parsnip, onions, garlic
Patatas bravas

so I don't think I'll be needing any dinner tonight, thank you!
