You both seem to be into your wines, we've just got our new wine list at work and there is only 1 french red and 1 french white out of 9. Surely this is new world gone mad!

axs get's proper wines delivered. I play the supermarket lottery. It's all fun. I've just ate a mint before I opened the bottle of whatever shit I'm drinking, so currently it don't taste of much.

It's all about the Spanish wines. There's a lovely tapas bar in Old Town where you can sample some of the better ones. ahem.

fucking new world - most of it is shite, it's only popular because the supermarkets got shed loads of money to promote it and there's always one on offer.

i nearly always buy european, particularly spanish and italian but also french. and i won't buy californian as it's all shite. and white.

I wish. Actually fuck that, it's busy enough as it is. Table of 11 tonight. Becomes a nightmare with Tapas. Luckily they said let the chef decide. I took responsibility and they left a big tip, so they were obviously happy.

That's another thing. If you go out and eat, then leave a fucking tip. 10% preferably, but obviously depending on how good the service is.

Working in a resturanty/bar thingy has made me realise how bad some people can be at tipping.

tapas has to be a bad one for presentation time.

i hate people who, when we're out with friends, pay the bill for what they've eaten but no tip, means i have to put in for them. bastards. happened last weekend at a spanish place in norwich(don pepes), cost me £80 in the end. and i only had one bottle of wine. steak was nice though. and stuffed jalapenos.

btw, french for thread is 'fil'.

Depends. Most of it is in little dishes which isn't to bad. The Garbanzos con Espinacas has a habit of exploding a bit, which can require a bit of tidying up, but it's not too bad.  The Friday/Saturday night specials tend to be something properly plated which can take some presentation, but once you get on a roll it's not too bad.

The main problem is that as it's lot's of different small dishes, which means that with a table of 11, even deciding what they have for them you're looking at 15 things, probably 10-12 different ones. With only 2 of you in the kitchen, well it can be fun.

late night thread is 'fil de fin de nuit'

but when you translate it back it is 'wire of end of night'

babelfish is shit sometimes.

chick peas and spinach is all a bit veggie for me

[flammableBen]

yeah, I don't think 'thread' will translate that well. I like my frenchglish effort.
