Okay Cyprus ~ wot's an Ocean Basket over there?


In the UK you'd get a few manky prawns, some scampi (same thing really) and if you are very lucky a bit of salid and some pink dressing oh and chips of course. sick2:

It's like a soup kitchen here........... whistle:


How very disappointing  noooo:

When I had the pub on the Isle of Wight I used to serve a lot of sea food..... All local caught stuff in season wiv salads fresh from a local farm and NO chips.
Best sellers were:
1) A pint of garlic prawns (and the world's best garlic is grown on the IoW) wiv wholegrain bread and salad.
2) Plaice stuffed with cheese
3) Fresh caught BBQ'd Mackerel  on Granary toast
4) Squid/Cuttle fish with Pasta
5) Dressed Crab

I loved going down to the dockside to buy the fish early in the mornings.

I did post another serious one after........

Are you allowed to add booze?  Does amazing things for soup as does adding Philadelphia cheese substitute.

FFunnily enough dinner tonight was Mrs K's home made carrot soup* followed with stuffed mushrooms.  I'm stuffed

* tonights added booze: Marsala(didn't work to well, should have used gin
Well, whatever, nevermind
