Re: Teatime Choices
 

That looks like a nice combination.

We're going out for a posh steak and chips tonight but as I've completely given up drinking, combining it with a nice red wine is off the cards, I'll just have put up with the Anchor Steam lager and a couple of tequila cocktails. :(

Had a nice starter of some fishy bollocks and then a naff-off steak that was pretty good but regretablly had some crab legs that were a little underwhelming but the sticky toffee pudding made up for it. :thumbup:

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Pancakes...well thin, crepes, with spinach, prawn, mushroom, crab and cheese sauce...happy Pancake Day:thumbup:

Re: Teatime Choices
 

That sounds good! I'm having wings, chips, and peas.

The others all have maple syrup on theirs but they butter them first. :ohmy:
(they do the same with wraps too, before putting mayo and then the filling:()

These days I like a savoury one first, followed by a sweet one.

But I have a super painful leg today and it hurts to walk so I didn't get out for the necessary supplies.

I had to make do with fig preserve on mine. But it was nice.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Do you remove the bones before wrapping that lot in the pancakes? :lol:

My neighbours went ice fishing yesterday and gave me a couple of beautiful walleye fillets; fish and chips.
