Hahaha!
Are you going to that London bash? I could bring some down with me, but you'll have to eat them outside the pub.

DG's bash? That I am!
I will do practically anything for potatoes and green.

I never had any of that
given how many people have raved about it, I feel that I missed out.

You totally missed out
Between that and the Sangria I was one happy Labs.

I am a recent convert to sangria
it's bloody excellent stuff.

Interesting.
I need this recipe!

If I knew how to link to my own posts
I'd put the link here.

I was told off once for writing too many recipes :(

Would you go so far as to visit a tapas bar in your area and purchase some?

( girlinthehole, Tue 14 Sep 2010, 14:33, Reply)

There you go, buy her her own tapas bar. Sorted.

(Cave Duck, Tue 14 Sep 2010, 14:35, Reply)

I'd love that
You can have a free glass of Rioja whith your first visit.

The only one close to me
Is a La Tasca, and that's a 30-40min drive away. Stratford is shit.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 14 Sep 2010, 14:38, Reply)

La Tasca is shit
Don't bother.

And those potatoes are typical from the Canary Islands, you won't find them in normal tapas bars.

I remember having Patatas Arragudas (SP)?
In the Canaries. Is that the name of them?
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 14 Sep 2010, 14:44, Reply)

I presume that's the one at Brindley place in brum
there's a far, far better one in my village, about 10 mins drive from the centre. I don't think it does green mojo though I'm afraid.

La Tasca is all microwaved shit

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 14 Sep 2010, 14:52, Reply)

Yes, it is
All of my friends worked there as a "chef" (he was the only Spanish one) and all what he did was to microwave things from the freezer.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Tue 14 Sep 2010, 14:53, Reply)

Never been before
Definitely not going now.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 14 Sep 2010, 14:54, Reply)

yeah, friend of mine quit her job there recently

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 14 Sep 2010, 14:54, Reply)

Mark's parents invited me there as a treat once
I didn't know how not to look dissapointed.

If you're ever in Manchester, try El Rincón de Rafa; good prices and fantastic, fantastic real Spanish food. www.restaurant-guide.com/el-rincon-de-rafa.htm

You can have the set menu for £14 or £16 wit paella (min 10 people, I think) and you eat a lot.

if I ever end up in Manchester (unlikely)
then I will do so :-)
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 14 Sep 2010, 15:09, Reply)

Well, I'll try
But I can't promise anything, as we'll both have a long journey Manchester-Runcorn-London.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Tue 14 Sep 2010, 14:35, Reply)

Ok
Well I'll settle for you telling me the real name of the dish please, so I don't yell "GIVE ME POTATOES AND GREEN" at any Spaniard I come across.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 14 Sep 2010, 14:37, Reply)

potatas verde?

( girlinthehole, Tue 14 Sep 2010, 14:40, Reply)

wouldn't it be 'patatas'?
Like 'patatas bravas'?
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 14 Sep 2010, 14:41, Reply)

Prob.
I can't spell in English, nevermind Spanish.
( girlinthehole, Tue 14 Sep 2010, 14:42, Reply)

Hahaha
Well, almost: papas arrugadas con mojo verde (wrinkled potatoes with green mojo)
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Tue 14 Sep 2010, 14:44, Reply)

Is that where Crow's mojo went?

I ATE IT
Well, Chickenlady ate it too, we snarfed a lot of that greeny goodness.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 14 Sep 2010, 14:45, Reply)

You worried me
I thought you'd get sick with so much oil. You were for sure well lubricated for a while.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Tue 14 Sep 2010, 14:47, Reply)

It was a welcome side effect

( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 14 Sep 2010, 14:49, Reply)

Woo thanks!
Also I was kinda close when I said 'patatas arragudas' above. Kinda close...

Cheers!
I can't cook at all, but might be forced to try this.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 14 Sep 2010, 14:51, Reply)

Not bad, no
Now, go to Tenerife and practise.

They do red mojo too, one sweet one and one very, very cheeky. I'm sure you'll love it.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Tue 14 Sep 2010, 14:46, Reply)

Cheeky! Brilliant.
Spicy?
( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Tue 14 Sep 2010, 14:48, Reply)

Yes, very
I can't eat it, but then, I don't like hot food. Mark loves it.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Tue 14 Sep 2010, 14:54, Reply)

No, I won't go to Tenerife, Kitty's flying there today.
Besides, Fuerteventura's my favourite Canary Island.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 14 Sep 2010, 14:50, Reply)

Mmmmm...
Tenerife is very cool, if you avoid the guiris.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Tue 14 Sep 2010, 14:55, Reply)

As I said, Kitty's going there, she's as guiri as they come
White knotted handkerchief, Union Flag towel, lobster red skin, constantly drinking Stella and shouting "Oi, Juan, Egg and chips naaaaah!".
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 14 Sep 2010, 14:57, Reply)

Will she be doing all that, you think?
She said she's trying to convince her boyfriend to do more exciting stuff.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Tue 14 Sep 2010, 15:00, Reply)

Yep, absolutely
By 'more exciting' she means 'go into one of dem Spanish bars to watch the footy', and 'maybe 'ave a donkey ride while wearing a sombrero and drinkin' Corona and Tequila'.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 14 Sep 2010, 15:02, Reply)

Hahaha
I can't imagine her doing that. I gave her a fantastic list of things to do in Tenerife, so she better does some of them and doesn't go to watch the footy :)
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Tue 14 Sep 2010, 15:09, Reply)

To be fair
I'm being massively nasty about her and despoiling her good(?) character. I'm sure she knows the difference between Spain and Mexico.
