I went for a sesh in Benidorm last night and fancied a kebaber on the way home. Went in and had a look at the menu and thought i'd try the calamari instead (battered squid rings if you like). Taxi back, sat down, opened it up and took a bite..... F*ckin onion rings the fly f*ckers.Quote:

You shouldn't get blindsided. The price will generally dictate the style. I'd always check the place out online first.
The occasional disapointment is inevitable, more than compensated for by the times things are better than expected.
We have a generation that are genuinely afraid of surprises.
My biggest and most expensive meal of the year tonight.
It's a set menu, all be it a choice between courses, and I have absolutely no idea what the menu will be.
Apart from about 5 courses with champagne etc.
Actually I have no idea what the price will be, I just book the table about Halloween.
Nouvelle cuisine would go down a treat just now as the food is f@cking awful here
Last trip someone found staples in rice
This trip, someone found a hook(for jakets that you screw into the wall) in one of the cakey type puddings
I eat 1 salad(usually tuna) a day and have done for about a year. None of my clothes fit me at home
Ah, so all is now revealed.
It's nae fitba trips you go on when you're home it's foodie trips.
Rapid Wien Schnitzel is the attraction

My trips are in fact fitba and beer tasting. Im not even kidding. 38 new beers last trip.
Programs and beermats to adorn the Pacman walls.
Fitba scarves and thumbs u photos actually. You don't get programmes everywhere these days so you would be incomplete. Scarves are universalQuote:
