But it is quality that I'm advocating
Once you're into the 40 quid for a main course territory, you are no longer paying for the food, but an intangible experienced sold to you as a fantasy by clever people behind the scenes in the food industry.
I understand certain delicacies like white truffle and caviar have to be priced differently, of course.
But a slab of duck breast and some triple cooked chips? f**k off fat man (Kerridge, not you)
And does she agree on the price thing, or the value thing?
No it's not. It's some entirely arbitrary concept of 'value for money'.
I had dinner at L'Astrance at the weekend. It was a 10 course tasting menu with wine pairings at 500 euros a head. (Not really my thing, of course, but those with educated palates tell me it's the tits.)
Anyway, it was certainly a memorable meal, but to describe it as 'value for money' would be absurd.
that is why The Coach will be perfect for you imo
once he starts allowing non locals in :-)

or he needs some website help ?
40 quid? For Kerridge pub grub?
The fat c**t's out of his f**king mind! Being on the TV must have gone to his head.
on the evidence before me I would declare you as absurd tbh
If that were true you would never compare restaurants,
which you do all the time.
By talking about value for money I am doing nothing different to what you do everytime you eat out: comparing it against previous experiences.
Of course I compare; it just sounded as if you were comparing primarily
in financial terms. I was merely poiting out that the financial element of such comparisons is possibly the least important, and certainly the most vulgar.
