The Dutch know more about chips, sw. Believe me in this matter. I'm not sure I'd trust a Dutchman over a Paddy to boil a rake of floury spuds, but when it comes to chips, you would do well to follow the advice of the Dutchman.

Besides, isn't it Simon Hopkinson?

Your fancy 'jus' will simply slide from the chip.

is all wrong in this context.

She prefers Bisto on chips.

I cordially invite you to poke your unwanted omelette up your hole.

I don't really care what the man is called; he is merely the cook, after all.

And beans of course.

**Sir Charlie of Nicholas** · 02-01-2016, 02:50 PM

Whence the f**k is she gfetting Bisto, for all love? Does she go and knock on next door?

**Berni** · 02-01-2016, 02:52 PM

at least two eggs a day in one form or another. Just today I lunched on a couple of muffin-shaped pepper, onion and chorizo frittata thingies.

Anyway, is that you cooking on Valentine's then? Not going out?

**Berni** · 02-01-2016, 02:53 PM

Oh, she has a stash somewhere. I won't allow it, but she hides it.

**Sir Charlie of Nicholas** · 02-01-2016, 02:54 PM

restaurants are booked out months in advance, serve a 'romantic' set menu and are rammed with tables of two wondering how the hell they are going to get through 90 minutes of talking to each other without kids or the TV to distract them.

As you know, I have a great deal of experience of both Dutch and Irish culture.

The omelette seems a step too far for me. Not sure I need a wodge of egg between oysters and steak.

You are not wrong, a. It must, of course, be a traditional gravy, properly thickened with a roux.

My wife insists that my delightful, properly-made gravy using the juices of the roast and so forth

:sniff: I shall keep my discoveries to myself, in future.

I thought you were going to say a fried egg.

Eh? Are you not thickening your gravy?

It may be that egg is losing some lustre for me because I'm currently consuming

Of course I am. I swear not by the roux, but by the flour in the roasting pan and the slow simmer.

I never ever ever go out on Valentine's Day. Unless things have changed since I was in my 20s
