I know where you mean. When it's empty, you can imagine Alex and his droogs stalking across it prior to performing a bit of ultra violence on you.
You should have popped into The Lullingstone Castle for a swift half.*
*N.B. This is a joke. No-one reading this should ever go into The Lullingstone Castle. Should you do so, Burney Enterprises accepts no responsibility for your well-being.
I haven't done it for ages, actually. I've been all about the buffalo wings recently. Franks Hot Sauce has me under its spell.
I've ended up with some veal mince needing a home. I don't fancy pasta or cottage pie... can't get my head around veal burgers. I wonder if there's a beef kofta thing going on anywhere.
Fry it up with onions, garlic and ginger paste, green chilli, a teaspoon each of turmeric, coriander, cumin and chilli powder if you haven't got any green chilli in. Add half a cup of water, cover and eat it with flatbread. You will be happy.
Ideally, you'd do this with lamb, of course, but it'll still be nice.
I went onto the buffalo wings for a bit, but have gone back. I prefer the lemon and pepper jobs.
