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

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

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

They hold more. Less arm movements. Energy saved.

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.
