      Freudian mistake.
      I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

          I think she meant 'le vin dans Janey au naturelle'

            Well:
            My choices would be
            Brown shrimp for starters.
            Indian spiced fish for fish course. I am a little unsure of the Britishness of this dish.
            Cant decide between Welsh Lamb or Scottish Venison for main. Lamb I think.
            Devon Raspberries for pud. I just love the idea of Jelly and Ice Cream for The Queens 80th birthday.

            I cant believe none of you are watching this?

            Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time

              Don't be shy about borrowing. The French certainly aren't: anything they cook, they consider to be cuisine francaise.

              Veal escalope in wild mushroom sauce with pasta? When the French "borrow" it from the Italians, it becomes Escalope de Veau Forestière aux Pâtes. As French as Napoleon (!). When we do it, it stays Scaloppine al Funghi con Pasta: Italian.

              I could go on: why do we make quiche now, instead of egg flan?

                Because egg flan sounds common, and quiche is soffisticated init !!

                  Real men don't eat quiche!

                  Isn't pasta an import from the orient sort of badly cooked egg noodles?

                    Real men prefer to call it an open-topped egg pie.
