Sorry Polly LOL!
One of my faves from the milk bar is a steak sandwich with beetroot and a fried egg. Delicious.

Re: Supermarket Pet Hates...
My pet hate in supermarket :
1) offers no longer there
2) items moved to somewhere in to outer space and you spend 3 weeks trying to find everything.
3) SCREAMING kids ( I must admit mine have done this till we gagged them hehehe)
4) smelly of wee people. I mean come on peeps how hard is it to wash? hmmm I know its scary like but really I dont need to smell it on you and please please use a toilet next time not your trouser leg OK!
rant over hehehe

eg: Go to Spain and have a Tinto de Verano, Red wine served over ice, sometimes with a slice of lemon.
Pretty Common in Miami, USA too...
Not as common in the colder countries though...

It is sometimes recommended to slightly chill light red wine : Beaujolais and Loire Valley red wines such as Chinon, Bourgueil and red Sancerre.
