I don't own a deep fat fryer, B. Can I just use a wok and heat up a load of olive oil in it before frying at very high heat?
You can, but you might want to use a thermometer to avoid burning the ****ing house down/getting covered in boiling fat.
Seriously, go out and buy a deep fat fryer. They cost flumpence and are much safer and easier to use.

Also, why do they have so many 'Argentinian' steak houses with all you can eat rib offers? :rubchin:
I too have noticed this and gathered that it was a front for people of dubious employ to offer their services.

That's the thing, I'm sure she didn't. I'm pretty sure she used to talk about smoking dope when she was at University. I mean, I know she was never a drug taker on my scale, but I sort of assumed she'd dabbled, ffs! :shrug:

But presumably you can get ribs, too?

Oh, no doubt about it. I just can't imagine that a city would have such huge demand for ribs.
There must be a code word that you say while ordering that gets you an upgrade to a dining area for 'valued customers'.

I was tempted by ribs, but then remembered I had a beard. Eating ribs in public is bad enough when you're clean shaven. Bearded, it would look appalling.

Some of them are excellent. I once gorged myself in such a place with Ian Harvey. What an odd thought.

Yes. I did once as well (not with Ian Harvey, of course). But now there seem to be millions of them. It's like they've been breeding.
I got a kroket from a FEBO in your honour while I was there.

Stout fellow. I've made them a few times recently but they're never quite the same.

They were flogging them in that outrageously expensive Dutch food place in the airport. I almost got some for you, but since I had no idea when my flight might turn up, I feared they'd defrost in my hand luggage. :-(
