My favorite meal my Ma' makes is egg'n'chips, maybe with a haddock in motza-meal too, but it's the egg'n'chips that does it for me.. She double-fries the chips and adds onion when doing the second fry which flavours the oil and gives you cripy oniony bits. She also poaches the egg in the same oil, and it bubbles up and goes crunchy with runny yolk.

If I'm being lazy, I'll get 'em from the chippy, if not I'll peel and slice some spuds and cook them in the over with olive oil.

Have you tried "Japanese Seasoned Rice Vinegar" ? It's amazing, got such a nice flavour, it's quite strong and slightly sweet, deffo stronger than malt.
Everyone who I know who has tried it, agrees it's the best one to put on chips.

I was revulsed by the Diana/Dodi memorial shrine, though.

They're not too much more like-for-like more than Waitrose.... but their staff are extremely knowedable.
True story about harrods, my ma' and dad got a cake for a wedding anniversary made by them. They paid nad ordered it a good 8 weeks in advance or soo. The day before the doo, they went to pick it up, and were told "We're really sorry, we have you on the list, we can see it's there, you've got your recipt, but we haven't made it.... but don't worry, it won't be a problem".
Dad said "What do you mean don't worry? We got 50 people coming over tomo !"
Manager replied "Don't worry, just give us your address".
On the day of the doo, they put it with two members of staff in a black cab to our house in Cockfosters (probably about £60 back in those days), the two staff stayed the whole time serving people, and they didn't charge a penny for any of it, not even the cake.
