I have got everyone's presents except my sister
But she's getting Kindle books so no rush.

Alt: last starter I had was Lamb Jhankar - marinated scallop of lamb stuffed with pickled mango and cooked in the tandoor. Fantastic.

More usually I love garlic mushrooms to start, or breaded mushrooms with a garlic mayo dip. Terribly Berni Inn of me, I know.

When I was 18 I worked in a shitty restaurant preparing starters
I always used to get really stoned before work and end up munching on loads of breaded mushrooms - a handful extra cooked every time an order came through.

I bet you love the 7 spice prawns too?
Have you ever been to a Harvester before?

I love garlic mushrooms of any type too.
Zeffirellis in Ambleside does a fantastic one. Shame about the rest of it's unpleasant vegetarian menu. Chickpea pizza on a wholemeal base? What was I thinking?

Sounds like my kind of place.
But what the fuck is a Zefferelli in Ambleside? etc. etc.

Lovely cinema too. Saw "Midnight In Paris" there (I fully realise that liking Woody Allen movies will lead to me being called a nonce by association).

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
but which is better, creamy garlic mushrooms - there is a restaurant in didsbury that does "smelly mushrooms" - mushrooms in stilton, amazing - or crispy ones - like fire & stone's chilli and coriander breaded mushrooms with garlic mayo?

I don't discriminate
All garlicky mushrooms are equal in mine eyes.

/lovingly embraces them all. And then eats them.
