No salt or pepper? madness.

Do they have any condiments available?

My word yes. On occasion I confess the game sort of rushed past me in a bit of a blur.

It didn't used to be pretendy, it was really real. Even Ian Harvey used to admit that the risotta al mare was up to scratch.

What happens when you ask for chips with the lasagne?

He once invited me to his house for lunch pre-match. He made me a tuna steak with a mango and lime salsa.

How very Islington, very Arsenal, very IH. :hehe:

My pre-match sustenance involves a snatched something in Dublin Airport, perhaps a croissant if I am feeling European, then a burger/chips the moment the pub opens at 12 bells. No salsa of any sort.

I had pizza with chips on top.

Used to get in there for 12 on a matchday. A Bloody Mary for the hangover, a bottle of Montepulciano and a pizza and in the Woodbine for 1. Good timez.

I do associate it with being brutally hungover, tbh. That was usually because I'd been drinking with you the night before.
