Disagree with both of you - pickled onions and cheese washed down with some port , butterscotch angel delight layered with vanilla with chocolate buttons in the mix
I’ve just seen the menu for the CAFC staff & players Xmas meal - “Charles Methven turkey” Everything he touches in football turns out to be one. “Gillesphey stuffing” The defender gets one every time an opposing striker runs at him. “Aneke sprouts” Named after a player who only sprouts into fitness when a new contract is due. The whole meal will be served with a side dish of Luton has-beans.
'The Maynard-Brewer soup' For people fussy, be aware it is weak as one of his saves from 45 yard shots.
Surely Welsh Rarebit refers to an occasional piece of decent scouting from the Global Moderator “After recommending Scott Fraser and Ahadme, that was a rare bit of good scouting Reams”
I hope the Global Moderator is wrapped up warm when out scouting for us on these cold winter nights. A definite case of pigs in blankets.
My old Dad (God rest him) would be ashamed to hear me say this, but I can't tolerate any seafood that doesn't have a backbone. He used to love winkles & whelks but I can't go near them, or prawns, scampi, lobster, crab etc. They're all too much like insects for my liking, and I'm certainly not going to eat locusts or other 'bush-tucker' crawlies. Or snails either. Most fish is delicious especially Haddock or Cod, though the cheap substitutes they use have no flavour at all. One exception is jellied eels though. Dad didn't like them and neither do I.
I use to work on the seafood stall out the back of The Kings arms in Greenwich, I must admit there was more I wouldn’t eat than I would
I love seafood. I can’t eat enough. But you have to be very careful with fish. The two worst bouts of food poisoning I have had were both as the result of eating fish, and as anyone who has had bad food poisoning can testify, it’s a very unpleasant experience.
Winkles and whelks are disgusting, I agree. Fish has to be a very softly battered cod, or a middle of skate.
