What mindphlux said, Wales is gorgeous and much less touristy (that said we got great weather there.) I'd also be letting down the family if I didn't mention Cornwall, my time there was some of my favorite hanging out of my entire Europe trip.

I figured Glasgow was a family thing but don't go to Scotland without going to Edinburgh. As for London if you're there for just a week I'd stay somewhere central, spring for an oystercard and not worry about things. Being able to bounce all over zone 1 without worrying about fares and whatnot was great. We stayed right by the Earl's Court tube station and it was pretty painless going anywhere in the city proper, most of the time we walked out then tubed around once we were tired.

Basically, if you hate on chickencheese, you don't cook enough to want to cook easy when you go home.

Wow, this is just a braindead comment. As if there was some correlation there in relationship to this topic...

I've got nothing against easy/dumb food, I make it all the time. However I don't feel the need to post in depth recipes for simple nonsense I put together when hungry and not feeling like an effort meal.


And seriously man? "As a professional" ???? Turn down the self-importance a notch, you're a food professional, not the space pope.

Since it's been discussed in the other thread, are we going to get GWSSS started? The earlier I get my santee the more likely it is that I can head across the border and ship from the states for timely delivery if he/she is american.

Mostly because canadians pay their service people something approaching fair to begin with, whereas in the states it's $fuckyou/hour.

Pretty much, afaik very few places in Canada allows service staff to be paid any less than the standard min wage (and most of my waiter/waitress friends make at least a buck or two over it here, (to way over it for fancier places)) Even in cases where it's a two tier like Alberta I think the difference for tip earners is less than a buck (last I heard it was 9.75 in Alberta and 9.05 for people who serve booze?) and that's in our biggest "gently caress you poor people" province.

Also, wtf... tipping chat again?

For Winnipeg Goons, Livingsocial has an Arkadash coupon right now for $40 for $80 to spend on food. You can also use the coupon on a Wednesday when they do the fixed price menu for half price. :aaaaa: I'm too poor to afford it right now but I have my fingers crossed I get it for Christmas!

e: I went there once on a Wednesday for the fixed price menu and the theme was chestnuts. It was ridiculously good, apart from the serving of soup being disproportionately huge compared to the rest of the menu (Not including the gargantuan slice of cheesecake they served for dessert) and I ended up filling up on it and being unable to finish my entree or dessert, despite reeeally wanting to eat dat cheesecake. Shoulda got the salad. :smith: But I guess it's not the worst problem to have, I got to snack on delicious chestnut goat korma after we got home.

Seriously? Ugh... shouldn't spend that cash either but yum.

I'm sure she had fascinating facts and opinions about vaccinations.

I had a first date with a girl a while back and the topic of vaccinations came up. Long story short apparently because she never had most of her vaccinations the fact that she's never died means it's all a scam to make money and purposely give children autism disorders. I started to try to counterpoint but then I just asked for the cheque.

The Canadian one is so much better. The host knows his food but isn't a pro chef so he doesn't interject with stupid "I'm so clever" comments every five seconds and doesn't really mug at the camera much other than the odd corny joke. It's also a wider variety of establishment most of the time though the focus definitely is on the same sort of local neat place.
