Anyway back to "British stodge" - last night it was home made vegetable soup, followed by steak and ale pie, boiled potatoes, carrots with an aniseed and honey glaze, leeks, peas, green beans and broccoli.

"Stodge" only applies when it's been done badly and served all heaped up on a plate (with no love), rather than presented nicely to stimulate your appetite. Cooked (home-made) and presented properly, I love everything you've just listed :)

A cool place to go, no doubt, but often in these joints you pay WAY over the odds simply for the cachet of 'being there'.

I'm not really into that, so I'd have had the linguine in a little back street trattoria, where the locals go (miles away from tourists), where I suspect the food would've been more authentic - and definitely cheaper! ;)

But using chicken instead of what looks like prawns.

Nice one, Geoff. If you make it, please take a pic of the results! :)

Btw, the phonetic pronunciation illustrated on that ad is wrong. It's not "SPUH-GET-O-NEE"; it's "SPAH-GET-O-NEE". Idiots!! :doh:

'Poirot' (as in Grant's post #750) is a homophone of 'poireau', which is the French for leek.

Lol - yes I get that now. However, the reference was rather oblique, so not really obvious.

Marco.

which is interestingly a synonym for idiocy, or so I was told. I wonder if Agatha Christie meant it

Looks like a kick-ass sweet ‘n sour to me. I’d be dipping prawn crackers in that big time.

Yeah, top notch Granty - good job there! :thumbsup:
