I like trying to guess your lunches! Pilau rice, fish or chicken goujons and sweet chilli sauce?

It looks suspiciously like a Punch but the lable is a little difficult to make out.

Today .... I (we) have been eating ....
 
Finally got the chance to try Zuma Dubai tonight. Simply fabulous dinner- we had the signature tasting menu. Very deserving of the ranking in the top 100. Best I've had this year

And people call British food bland! How could you beat a beautiful bit of roast sirloin, roast spuds, horseradish sauce, yorkies, veggies and gravy???!!!^:

@UK1, why do I get this suspicious feeling that the potatoes are being recycled? :p

Lovely roast with all the trimmings.

Those wine receptacles? What's that all about? :confused:

They hold more. Less arm movements. Energy saved.

In my village the gardeners would turn their noses up at anything less than crystal cut glass ....

Thai lunch special: Massaman Chicken Curry with cashews and a coconut soup appetizer. Plus a Singha beer.

Trust me,Aunt Bessie make them for Waitrose.
They make them for everyone.
Interestingly the food giant that is now Aunt Bessie originated as a small company which made Yorkshire Puddings for Butlins holiday camps in the 1970s.
What I haven't seen in years is the giant plate-size Yorkshire Puddings which formed the container for an entire roast beef dinner including gravy.
Many years ago my local pub in Wiltshire served up Sunday lunches like that - three or four pints of Summer Lightning,lunch and a sleep on the couch afterwards was essential training for would-be Trenchermen.
Marvellous.
