^^^Looks delish.

Do you ever order the oysters and split them at home? I have done that here a few times. This way they package them on ice and they remain nicely chilled. Last year we had Live main lobster delivered here for our New Year Eat-athon and I ordered 20 Mere Point Oysters. The Lobsters and Oysters arrived very much alive.

^I've never had seafood delivered here, but there's a few local restaurants that have imported oysters all year round so there's really no need to. I rarely eat local oysters too unless they look and smell really fresh, but have no problems with things like the local fish and prawns. Seafood is one of those things where there's no grey area, it's good or it's not as anyone who's ever had food poisoning from eating it will agree!

Oh yeah. I have known a few folks eat a big clam or muscle dish and were sick for a few days. I just don't trust it. The prawns, Mantis shrimp and crab are always good.

Allow me:

1/2 cup sour cream
2 Tbsp prepared horseradish, drained
2 Tbsp mayo
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
1 Tbsp chives, finely chopped

Put it all in a bowl. Stir.

Good in the fridge for a fortnight.

Tough audience, but world class photographer I am not.

You are looking at a:
Pumpkin Spinach Cheese salad
Light Boiled red skinned potatoes
Salmon en croûte

looks like armstrong's salmon pastie
spuds look good

May be time for a phone upgrade, Willy. Something with a camera that actually focuses.

Pork loin, taters and veggies...the wife's cooking. A1 sauce on the taters and pork, balsamic glaze on the veggies. Fooking tasty.

Terrible pic of roast lamb shoulder with minted gravy and a couple of favourite low-carb sides.

^OK we all know you're a retarded fucking plum but are you really stupid enough to believe roast lamb is an English invention, or that this shoulder was from England? Have you ever even seen an English leg of lamb here?

its a bloody good price

I do hope you took time out to sing the national anthem before getting stuck into yet another of your classic British favourites.



Would you say that roast lamb and mint sauce is number 1 on your list of favourite dishes or would you say that fish and chips or a fry up rate about equal?

That's your number 1 then?

Good choice.

I'm sure comfort food really helps after a day of having your head flushed down the toilet and your pocket money nicked.

Aussie and Kiwi Lamb legs/shoulders here have been in the 300 to 400 Baht a kilo range for about 5 years, they use to cost more and actually came down in price (due to FTA perhaps?). English lamb is free if you can find it, which you won't

Oh noes, the soap dodging island monkeys are on the attack. Hide the fat chicks!

I tend to eat Welsh or salt marsh lamb or hogget, i love mutton too but you can't get it all the time - all superior to the antipodean variety of course. In Thailand at those prices Lamb would be a Sunday regular and Monday and Tuesday coz the Mrs won't touch it or beef so it'll be left overs and frozen for the i can't be fooked nights.

Mmmm, mutton.

I've eaten so much of it in curries that I'd probably choose it over lamb these days (certainly in curries anyway).

real mutton or goat, either is a great meat in curry. Bone on too.

None of which you can get here unfortunately, despite what the Bangladeshi restaurant owners might tell their brain-dead Brittle customers who've had 3 beers and are gagging for their national dish of an Indian curry.
