Suitability of the restaurant will at first be judged according to reputation in a locally renowned gastronomic guide, and then by one sample visit. Satisfaction during the sample visit will invariably lead to repeat business for said restaurateur.
    Do you really eat a fully restaurant lunch every day?

    Nah, they're pretty handy when you want to eat home-cooked food too. Make a job-lot at the weekend and freeze for busy weeks, certainly better than buying take-out!

      Yep, pretty much. Not 3 courses every time, but usually main course and sometimes pud.

      Main course and pud every evening too, and usually some antipasti beforehand, even if I'm home late after training.

      I have to keep on training to match my appetite. Actually, it's the other way round; I train quite a lot, so I need a lot of food.

        You can do this. Run one empty for 5 mins and the flux capacitor (or whatever it's called that generates the microwaves) will destroy itself.

                No, I think the Dutch invented smart-arses.

                    I noticed the chocolate sprinkles when I was in Middelburg. They put them on EVERYTHING, including breakfast. WTF?

                    In the hotel, the breakfast included little packets of chocolate sprinkles which were intended for either the cooked breakfast, or to go on the toast.

                      Canteen food at Shell UK

                      Did a contract a while back for Shell UK at their Stanlow site. Had a free canteen for permies and contractors - all you could eat for nothing. I had a lovely pork curry one day, which turned out to be the worst decision of my life, as I got food poisoning and had to have 3 days off ! Complained when I got back about the ££ I had lost, and got told “Don’t eat the bloody food then!”

                      Pot Noodles and Alphabetti Spaghetti from then on in…
