Our meal at the Artichoke outside London was one of the best Miss Chef and I have ever had (even better than Joël Robuchon's Atelier in Paris). There's room for all kinds of food in this big old world; Miss Chef and I can be just as overwhelmed by a big ol' box of Velveeta Mac'n'Cheese as by crayfish foam and shaved truffles.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09081652747471904560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-69501665156854702052013-08-22T11:19:17.236+00:002013-08-22T11:19:17.236+00:00I would love to try such a meal, our horizons need...I would love to try such a meal, our horizons need expanding every now and then.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-8323668003444964852013-08-22T10:55:28.890+00:002013-08-22T10:55:28.890+00:00Not sure that lunch would be my kind of thing - bi...Not sure that lunch would be my kind of thing - bit too exccentric and Heston-y; but it sounds as if you had a fab time :-)Niall & Antoinettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12699304108340257145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-14822849288497875432013-08-22T10:52:55.808+00:002013-08-22T10:52:55.808+00:00I don't know what any of those luncheon foods ...I don't know what any of those luncheon foods are.

I'll throw some pea shoots into a dish for the flavour but 'froth' and artistic arrangements ... no way.<br /><br />Lovely Hubby is very used to his meals being doled out like the porridge in the BBC production of 'The Mill' (only I do let him have a plate .... if he's been good!).<br /><br />A really good friend of ours has a beautiful restaurant and hotel that churns out artistically cooked and plated meals like the one in your picture, he pops pictures of his chefs 'masterpieces' on Facebook, but I just can't bring myself to click 'Like' when all I'm thinking is 'where are the chips?'Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-61286602225035063592013-08-22T07:07:50.582+00:002013-08-22T07:07:50.582+00:00You do make me smile John, glad you had some sarni...You do make me smile John, glad you had some sarnies.<br />The only time I've ever had lobster was in the form of a froth !<br />I've never seen Chorus Line but should do.

Note: I did not say "throw-UP" because it actually sounds rather appetising. <br />But maybe you left the restaurant somewhat unsatisfied, thinking that you now fancied a generous helping of fish and chips. Your purchase of M & S sarnies is a slight indicator.<br /><br />Glad that 'Chorus Line' went so well. (Aren't they closing down the run earlier than expected because of disappointing box office bookings?)<br />Just who IS that hottie in the publicity shot? He gives me a tingle in my southern regions. I want to see it even more now.<br /><br />I actually also don't dismiss the Attenborough film to the extent that just about all critics have. The test is whether I can watch it over and over again - and it passes.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-33946728720326970642013-08-22T06:13:11.497+00:002013-08-22T06:13:11.497+00:00Ooh John Partridge looks gorgeous in that photo......Ooh John Partridge looks gorgeous in that photo.....anyhoo...I too love musicals but the thought of eating anything that looks like it came out of either end of a cat is not thrilling really...although I bet the flavours were gorgeous....sounds like you had a smashing day.libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552884005601003691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-9134413280116731482013-08-22T04:13:21.500+00:002013-08-22T04:13:21.500+00:00I'm all for new flavours and experiences, but ...I'm all for new flavours and experiences, but don't give me tiny portions.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-64855884758308528092013-08-22T00:25:30.126+00:002013-08-22T00:25:30.126+00:00I'm glad you enjoyed your lovely treat day.......I'm glad you enjoyed your lovely treat day....
