Saturday Lunch ...

[sunny-dave]

... what's on your menu ?

Here it's a toasted ciabatta roll stuffed with brie & rustic salami - washed down with a small drop of NZ Sauv Blanc :=)

[DTCwordfan]

An Old Vines Tempranillo 04 here NoM - the Chablis mediocre....was a present though....

[Zhukov]

You make I laugh NoM - with your"Austerity soirees"! ;0)

[shoota]

Long roll stuffed with two frankfurters and 2lbs of fried onions, lightly salted, followed by a coffee with a pecan and maple pastry.

I'm drinking a mug of Yorkshire tea.
It has a cheeky bouquet with hints of tannin and top notes of milk

[sunny-dave]

Direct from the tea plantations of Barnsley ... hand picked by comely virginal wenches ... <possibly >

[Zhukov]

[bellazella]

Do you know why Jesus wasn't born in Barnsley?

They couldn't find 3 wise men and a virgin

[nungate]

Apparently there's been a really good crop of tea in Cornwall this year. It's on sale in Fortnum and Masons, consequently expensive.......

[Zhukov]

like sunny-dave said,"Were it picked in Barnsley,or grown in a shed in Wakefield? ;0)

[mrs_overall]

Zhukov, are you thinking of tea...or rhubarb?

[Zhukov]

aye Yorkshire Tea = Rhubarb!! ;0)

Tregothnen - over-rated Lord Falmouth's marketing....

Camelias have been well and truly out here though, so that they are having a bumper crop is no surprise.

I mention the marketing; apparently they own the Smugglers Inn near the King Harry River on the Fal and were being investigated by Trades & Descriptions for selling cream teas last summer at some £12 plus - including their own tea, which some plonker in management (the pub is managed by the son I understand) decided to cut with Typhoo.....that is not exactly smart if the case - I haven't heard the outcome of the investigation, but if it is true, that is so numptyish.

[NoMercy]

Zhu Zhu... It's only a tasting menu. I got the lamb half price in Waitrose and the rest of the stuff wasn't all that pricey.

How's the Tempranillo, DT? Last time I imbibed that grape, it was in the form of Ribera del Duero.

[DTCwordfan]

tell you later, NoM.....enjoy your soirée de desgustation.....

[DTCwordfan]

now I can't spell it, dégustation.....

Marmalade on toast for lunch. Looking forward to jerk chicken, rice and salad for dinner.
