I can confirm that B69 is a well good cook.
The beetroot soup he made for us was fucking excellent.

Also, I must add this...
I took a classic Polish dish that I'd learned from my MIL and uncle and applied Scottish kitchen thinking to it. The way the cuisine works is soooooo different between here and there. I really went a bit Heston on that soup, trying to maximise on the taste without compromising the cultural integrity of the dish. Sounds well fucking poncy now it's written down but I reckon I could explain it properly over five or six pints...

It was exceptionally good.
And I normally hate beetroot.
