[To above] Oh man, that does sound good.
Do you get mouths full of genatilous lamb though? 'cus I don't those bits.

Also, windy, what do you recommend in the way of chef's knives ? Dont' wanna spend more than £150 for whatever ones I go, and I know I should hold them first, but is there anywhere in london you reckon I could look ?

don't bother with buying from shops, prices are ridiculous these days.
Do you have a local pub or deli or restaurant you're friendly with? Best bet is to ask someone in the trade you're friendly with to tack a set of something nice on to their next order from whoever their catering equipment supplier (nisbets is fairly common, or 3663) is and throw them the cash and a couple of thank you beers. Get decent knives for a fraction of the cost of a shop.

I saw Jamie Oliver go to a shop in London somewhere, a shop that just sales knives and related stuff.
He said "You can spend £30 every couple of years, or spend £150 and they'll last a life time and be fitted exactly to your needs.", I can't remember the details of the shop, but I presume it was somewhere in mayfair/kensington/savel-row.

That makes sense about getting one of the delis to do it, but I want to hold them in my hand and for them to really be 'right' for me, they'll last a lifetime
