Speaking of food pronunciation. I feel a bit if a tit when I now order Italian items correctly. Like

[Pat Vegas]

one of those show off people that I dislike.

Though I hate people saying Bruschetta incorrectly. It's not Brusheta

It's BRU-SKET-TA.

[Berni]

That's not proper food.

[Pat Vegas]

The G in Italian is all bandy.
Gn is like more of a Nyn sound

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Easy.

[Berni]

[Pat Vegas]

Whilst you seem to get better treatment having an Italian in the group.

She'll be reviewing the menu. This is not a proper italian dish. This must be for english people :hehe:

[Pat Vegas]

Same happens with risotto.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I like them with pesto. Actually i like anything with pesto. Shall I let you into the secret of a truly great pesto?

More garlic. No. More. More than that. Carry on. Yep, keep going.

There you go.

[Berni]

Apart perhaps from lasagne and chips, which is delicious.

I bet she doesn't let you have lasagne and chips, does she? :-(

Risotto, I've decided, should only ever be eaten as a smallish starter. Not only is it horribly filling, but it actually gets boring quite quickly.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

risotto al funghi.

Can't bear to look at a risotto now.

[Berni]

What are we cooking when we get together, btw? Did we decide?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Berni]

[Red N White Army]

[Berni]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

A f**k off joint of beef with yorkshire wossnames, puddings?

[Berni]

and that. Very nice, it was. Still bored me after about the fifth forkful, though.

[Berni]

Of course, one of the problems is that we've usually sustained ourselves in these culinary endeavours with a couple of lines, meaning that by the time we actually sit down to eat, we have absolutely no appetite.

[Pat Vegas]

I'm cooking lasagne! why did you bring chips

Whoops forgot
oh well better not waste them.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

chefs need stimulants to keep them firmly on fleek.

A giant rib, do you think? Or is that a little fatty for you? Would you prefer a sirloin?

[Red N White Army]

Silly mare.

[Berni]

ragu onto a couple of chips, but my God, it's a lifesaver. With peas, of course.

[Berni]

Or will we forget it or - as with that time with the leg of lamb - drop it on the floor?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

myself.

We can spend the afternoon whizzing up ever more frightful combinations of vinegar, salt, ketchup and oil for the 'barbecue sauce' selection.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Berni]

several farmyard animals.

Although there's a chance your missus will kibosh it by saying she wants something involving aubergines and we'll end up with that instead. You know how she is with mysteriously getting her way. :-(

[Berni]

Although there is the chance you might start weeping and just give the poor thing a decent burial instead.

[Berni]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

There's a barbecue shop in Sidcup. I'll pop up there next week.

[Berni]

Don't you have to turn spits? :-(

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Let's see, 8 kilos of pig, there are 4 of us, with that we're going to need a couple of jacket spuds and a green salad.

Perhaps a glass of wine.

Chips, maybe.

[Berni]

puffed up when fried like little puri. How do we make them?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Let's chuck some spuds in the deep fryer and see what comes out.

[Berni]

f**k that imo.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

I had some last week, home made.

With oven chips. Get in.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

The correct way to order food is to be courteous and to show respect for the waiter.

Pronunciation of the food item is utterly irrelevant.

Brusheta, brusketa, the bread thing with the tomatoes I had last time – all acceptable.

Even more so if you stick on a generic stereotypical forename at the end of the sentence. Or a simple “lively”.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Saw them on Masterchef, the most recent series.

All attendant chefs commented on how difficult a task they were to take on.
