# Madeira
last summer. Lots of old people.

# And lizards.
Lizards make everything better.

# That is indeed true.
I shall bear that in mind the next time I go to the old people's home. Or the zoo.

# I have recently started considering Madeira as somewhere relaxing and sunny to go
but then they ruined it by ordering the wrong kind of weather

# pfft
yes. it is lovely, especially if you want to go somewhere nice and sunny that has almost no possibility of 18-30 type scum shouting in the streets and smashing bottles.

# I'm not sure what the situation there is at the moment, with flood damage etc
but it is really pretty, has some rather magnificent hotels (for acceptable prices, though others that are too posh), the fish/seafood is excellent, and they have a tradition of serving "steak on the stone" which consists of a mostly raw steak served with a superheated volcanic rock, so you cut bits of and cook them to your taste. Most tasty.

# I would imagine most things there will be cheaper as a result of the flood.

I've just booked up to go to Haiti for a fortnight.

# Ooh, yum.
So is 'Steak Madeira' actually madeiran, or was it made up by foreigners who don't know the trick with the rock? (Admittedly I do prefer it made with Mavrodaphne).

# I'm not familiar with steak madeira
but googling suggests it may just be steak with Madeiran sauce... don't know.

The rock thing would never work in britain... imagine the outrage:

"CHILD BURNS FACE ON HOT ROCK IN RESTAURANT"
"RAW STEAK SERVED IN RESTAURANTS MAY OR MAY NOT BE DANGEROUS TO HEALTH"
"MAN BURNS COCK ON ROCK, SAYS: BRING BACK BRITISH TRADITIONS"

I wish to join in this reptile love-in. Reptiles (and amphibians) are the bees knees.

# Likewise
lizards are fucking awesome

# I think it's why there are so many lizards. Lizards hate proles, and wouldn't be seen dead in Agia Napa or Ibiza
