My lunch at H&F a few weeks ago was the straw that broke the camel's back
Never, ever, EVER again paying that kind of money again for the emperor's new clothes.
-
He's done alot of weight, hasn't he ?
I'd give him evens to make at least fifty five nowadays
-
indeed hes a good advert for swimming imo i thought you couldnt
lose weight swimming but a year ago at pool he was huge..now not so bad..but still fat legs :) and skin folds...thoguh think he might have had those op'd too
-
The coach is cheap for quality..under 20 quid for pie and pint and nibble
on a shared starter..not basd imo ..but yup H&F really adds up imo spent over 400 in there for not that much and found that too poncey and water bath typed cooked..Coach was good and my style
-
Can't lose weight swimming? Tell that to this bird.
-
Tell us more about this camel.
Are you suggesting that food****ery is over-rated?
-
i think its more that he had to pay for it..those coins dont come out of his grip easily you know
normally his other half or some media mug pays imo
-
Now steady on there, Mr Whelan.
-
I had to now assumed it's description as a pub was a false one.
I saw it as basically a restaurant the sold beer.
In terms of it being a pub, can you stop in for an absolute rake of pints, no food?
-
ummm i think you could tbh..in fact a couple of blokes i know drink
pints and stay in the bar / waiting area at H&F and dont order food or anything and they happy to serve them..very nice crackling too.. id say esp in 4 or 6 months when ype dies down you will be able to just have a beer ..bar area is not tables , its bar stools and no food..and some small tvc screens for sport so id say ..yes..but see how it goes :-)
-
"Yep, that was money well spent relative to what I could have bought elsewhere for cheaper"
So if by food****ery you mean expensive restaurants, then yes of course they're overrated.
-
However nice, I don't think I can imagine ever spending 40 quid on a single dish and thinking
"Yep, that was value for money"
So if by food****ery you mean expensive restaurants then yes of course they're overrated.
-
he only jumps like a black man when then they ask him to pay
-
i think 40 quid on huge great steak at hawksmoor then yes ok 40 quid
on chicken or summat then no..and i dont like it poncified..im no fan of food c**tery tbh
-
Value for money? Value for money? That's how you judge food? Value for money?
There are other things in life apart from money. You sound like some sort of grasping miser.
-
What the f**k has the size of the steak got to do with it?
-
Oooh, that reminds me. Aldi and Iceland are now doing lobsters for just a fiver.
-
well size and taste..hawksmoor was good size and taste..if it was same taste but half the
size and still 40 squid then no id not have been as happy..balance Sir C..you need the ying with the yang..you eat with your mind as well as your mouth
-
Tight c**t.
I'm sorry, but I find it offensive.
You won't be happy until there is nothing of quality available. You'll be inhabiting an ugly world of cheap nastiness, but I guess you'll be happy because you've got 3 quid extra in the bank.
The trouble is that the rest of us have to put up with your hideous world as well.
f**k this, I'm off to the woods with snin.
-
Is it only food to which you apply this carefree attitude to
how much it costs in relation to the pleasure it gives you?
-
where's Balotelli when you need him?
-
Well if you were a lady hiring a male prostitute, you'd pay more for one with a big wang than one
with a tiddler, wouldn't you? Stands to reason. Same with steaks.
-
Why did you go in the first place then?
Presumably you were in some way aware of the price bracket you were entering.
-
So you think a 200g fillet should be cheaper than a 400g rump?
-
No. There is a moral requirement to pay for quality. Whether this quality
happens to please one or not, if we do not encourage the pursuit of perfection we'll all be living in a world of Ryanair and Travelodges.
Quick explanatory note for you; there are currently nicer airlines and more comfortable hotels available. You might get your girlfriend to pay for you to experience one.
-
I am neither a lady, nor am I hiring a male prostitute. If I were, I would be happy to pay
more for a tiddler if it were brandished with some expertise.
-
My girlfriend is a massive, massive foodcunt
-
No. We're talking about cocks here. Both are similar in quality as far as they go, but the bigger
one is obviously better. Unless it's too big, in which case you'll never finish it and it'll just leave you feeling uncomfortably full...
-
Regret her not having a cesarean?
-
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 ?
-
*Throws sandwich away*
-
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
-
Why?
-
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.
