OK, What's For Lunch or Tea Today?

Thought so... Nice one, that's a classic. Del makes it often. Nice simple, tasty sauce, which showcases the all-important pasta!:)

Yeah defo, as you'd expect in somewhere like Largs. There's also a fab one in West Kilbride, forget the name. Been there for years. For me the best chippies in Scottish seaside towns is where the bar is set for a quality fish supper, and sadly too often down here they fall WAY short of that standard....! :rolleyes:

That 8 course tasting menu looks fantastic - but I would need to stay the night afterwards

Indeed... And importantly also when you want QUANTITY, as well as quality, by ordering a litre one!:D:drunk:

You know the answer then, don't you, mate?

Start up yer jalopy [it'll be badly needing a damn good run] and get back outside into the big, bad world again (as if you can 'educate' shops to the fact that you're ENTITLED NOT to wear a face mask, it's as safe now in Scotland as it'll ever be), and then do your own shopping, thus putting YOU in control of everything, not relying on fooking deliveries, which as you've highlighted simply can't be relied upon!:)

Seriously though mate, there *has* to come a point soon when you stop being a prisoner in your own home, and start living and enjoying some freedom again.

:exactly:

Nice... I went continental with an all-butter croissant (filled with Tiptree 'Sweet Tip' raspberry jam), pain au chocolat, pink grapefruit and fresh peach juice, plus of course the obligatory kapperchino!

I doubt you'd get better in any posh coffee shop!:cool:

The turbot above looks good, Marco.

If you are ever in St. Ives check this place out. Best turbot I have ever had.

That mussel dish I did above was outstanding cold for some reason.

Some deli bites. Scotch egg of reference quality - better than I can make. Pea, mint, broad bean, feta and spring onion salad nice too. Ate the sausage roll without thinking about taking a pic. Also excellent.

Yeah, it was A, dude... Nice Scotch eggs! And yes, if I'm ever in St Ives again I'll check that place out:)
