If it was 1970 you could f**k off to Vegas, order yourself a shrimp cocktail

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

and a veal cordon bleu, and watch Elvis while you ate. Elvis, for the love of God.

Life must have been good back then.

[Berni]

late middle-aged lady dressed in bike leathers who kept touching me unnecessarily. It was still good, though. It came with chips, of course.

[Pat Vegas]

best of the budget wons imo.
Plenty offering $1.00 wons

The Wynn had one for $14 and it was tremendous.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Lots of those 70s classics are simply perfect. Chicken Kiev, Chicken a la King, Veal parmegiana, these things are all wonderful.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I love a shrimp.

[Pat Vegas]

[Berni]

plus.

Truly a "race to to the bottom". :-(

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Actually probably rotted away by now.

[Pat Vegas]

I took the chance to have some Prime rib too never had that before. Wasn't that nice.

[Supermac1976]

[Pat Vegas]

but everything was o.k.

[Rich]

:-| :-(

Where do you eat for goodness sake?!

I thought more of you tbh, B.

[Berni]

I've never had the courage to try and cook a proper Chicken Kiev. Have you? I remember it being the first thing I ever ate in a proper restaurant and thinking it was immeasurably sophisticated and wonderful. I'm not sure I was wrong.

[Pat Vegas]

And Bruce lee is a detective in Hong Kong :hehe:

[Berni]

[Pat Vegas]

like some sort of Chip Jenga.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

It really is awfully tricky to create the pocket and keep the garlic butter sealed therein whilst deep frying.

I wonder if we mightn't make it a new challenge?

[Rich]

They're the delicious, home-made wons with the skins left on.

[Pat Vegas]

Sea salt?

[Berni]

I'm definitely Cordon Bleu-ing some veal real soon.

[The Tony]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

An ironic mixture of 21st century tasting menu and 1970s classics:

A suggestion of prawn cocktail

Mini Kievs

Baby veal cordon bleus

Steaklets au poivre

Black Forest slivers

[Berni]

There is nothing to whet the appetite more effectively than a good pile of chips. Stacking them up just means you get fewer and they're probably cold.

[Pat Vegas]

[Berni]

Plus it doesn't involve pulling a pig's head apart, which is a major plus for me in any recipe these days.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

And loads and loads of breadcrumbs and vegetable oil. But it could be good.

Crinkle cut chips?

[Berni]

I may need to have a sit down I'm so excited.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Some little crostinis topped with (home-made) bacon and myshroom Toast Topper.

[Berni]

[Chief Arrowhead]

Frank. Deano. Sammy. Brilliant!

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Berni]

And Peter Lawford.

[Chief Arrowhead]

with 5 martinis of course.

[Chief Arrowhead]

Peter Lawford, while a zero personality, served a valuable purpose by attracting the broads.

Joey would go fetch the booze and ice, most likely, plus make do with the fat friends of the swell-looking broads.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Chief Arrowhead]

Mention the word pomegranate at a bar and you would be "escorted" from the premises.
