But can you get special pasta and extra delicious spaghetti? To my uninformed palate, it all tastes the same . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But Italian food, in my idiot's opinion, is the most overated of all foods. They certainly over play pasta , olive oil and pizza . I'm all for salad but it ain't really cooking. I'm off to an Italian tomorrow as is my youngest lads wish his brother had more sense and chose a steakhouse. Personally I could of got them a great present for what this restaurant malarkey is costing and it won't be a reoccurrence that's for sure, but I'll suck up £20 for cheese on toast for a minute. Also they harp on about there tomatoes , which came about from central America in 1500s and pasta probably Chinese. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not guilty on either count. Bon vivant means not having to go to work in my book. I know I'm missing out, but I just can't get interested in food. I like dessert and I like drinking, but the rest, meh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

leegreen 2,206 Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 It was part of what he was getting paid for. Being shocking and outrageous. No body said anything at the time and now they want him gone. What happened to speaking up for yourself? I know what I would of said if he had upset me and I'm 100% sure my Misses would've put him in his place. If nobody says owt, it's only gonna get worse. As far as I know he hasn't touched anyone, other than Gordon Ramsey Woke brigade springs to mind, at least I think that's the word. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
