My local cafe wins Vegetarian Society award!

[Jo Jo70]

Yes......! I am thrilled because I nominated them!

So if you're ever in Cambridge I would recommend the garlic bread and carrot cake.
But not necessarily together.
And the Spinach Lasagne. Yum.

My local cafe has the RentoKill van out it most nights!

I don't know if its where they go for a break, but it ain't doing them much good!

Well done though for nomenating them, do you get free nosh? I hope you get a slap-up meal for your efforts!

Re: My local cafe has the RentoKill van out it most nights!

Free nosh? It's worth a try isn't it? The Christmas menu is pretty spectacular.

What about Henderson's Restaurant Reggie? Fantastic food, and I'm particularly fond of their trifle.

Well if you ever venture out to Cambridge I'll buy you a glass of their organic wine/ beer, depending on your choice of poison.

 

[Reggie Plate]

Hendersons and Banns are great but my local...

My real local cafe
estraunt however is Stac Polly

http://www.stacpolly.com/menudubl.shtml

It says £25.50 and £31 but you get a three course lunch plus coffee and biscuits for a measly tenner through the week!!! plus Edinurgh great and good dine there (well I met Irving Welsh and Ian McCall-Smith)

I don't think a tenners too bad, I can spend £5 in McDs

Wine is my poison when eating!

Re: Hendersons and Banns are great but my local...

It's all a bit carnivorous this menu isn't it Reg?
Scottish roe deer? Ohhh!
I trust you have the vegetarian option when you go there?
I must try Banns next time I'm in Edinburgh. If there is a next time.

 

[Reggie Plate]

You can have the salmon options!

1st - Seafish chowder
2nd - Salmon Salad
3rd - Berry Cheesecake ice-cream thinghy

Coffee n Biscuit

£10

Bargain of the decade,

What on earth reason could you have for NOT returning to Edinburgh?

Re: No, I really can't!

Reg I am disappointed in you!
Can it be said one more time?:

VEGETARIANS DO NOT EAT FISH!

Thank you.

Now that I've got that off my chest....

Reasons for not returning to Edinburgh?:

A It's too cold (at the moment anyway)
B I'm too English. Try as I might I can't get the kilt thing.
C I get lost all the time! I seem unable to find my way beyond Princes Street, Grassmarket, The Royal Mile. I know there's a whole world beyond the tourist tack that I haven't experienced, but I CAN'T BLOODY FIND IT!
D I'm told Glasgow has better shops, better gigs, less English people.

 

[Reggie Plate]

I eat fish!!!

Let me counter you arguments 1 point at a time!

A - Wear a coat
B - Once you get away from areas mentioned in C you realise Edinburgh is Very Cosmopolitan
C - Find a local sherpa to guide you!
D - Glasgow is the murder city of the world - worse the New York (per capita)

That was a broadcast on behalf of the Scottish Tourist Board (Edinburgh Branch)

Re: Then you're not a veggie!

Let me counter your counter-arguments!

A Wear a coat plus two jumpers plus thermal vest. Frankly not very sexy!
B Yes, I'm sure it is cosmopolitan. Loads of American tourists.
C I have found the local sherpas to be highly unreliable.
D So Taggart is true?!

 

[Reggie Plate]

Re: Then you're not a veggie!

Let me counter your counter counter arguments

A - I wear vest, a t-shirt, a shirt, a wolly jumper, ajacket and a duffle coat and I am very sexy!
B - You have stuck 2 the royal mile and suchlikes, Shortcake city as they are known!
C - The local sherpas are very unreliable, so pay them after and not before!
D - Taggart is like Panorama and Newsnight rolled into 1

And I am a veggie! do you eat bi-valves?

Re: What the hell are bi-valves?

A I bet you are too! Got any piccies of that duffle coat?
B I like shortcake! And tartan scottie dog keyrings. And that wonderful bagpipe music.
C Oh I didn't pay them. But it was very expensive none the less.
D So Edinburgh has ghosts and poltergeists and Glasgow has a corpse on every street. I'm spoilt for choice!

 

[Reggie Plate]

Clams and Oysters n Suchlikes

I need to move!

Clams? Oysters? Suchlikes? Yuck, yuck, yuck!
Next you'll be telling me you appreciate a boiled-alive lobster.

Got anywhere in mind? Why not try Cambridge and I'll try Edinburgh? House-swap?
And then we can exchange personal diaries. Mine won't take long to read.

 

[Reggie Plate]

Swapsies - no backers!

My personal diary - I have to memorise everything to avoid an incriminating papertrail - either that or I don't have much on so don't need to bother writting it down!

Re: My personal diary- week beg. Sunday 04th Dec

Sunday:
In the presence of rock-legend. Ponder the significance of such lyrical gems as:
'Way down inside.
Woman....you need love.
Gonna give you every inch of my love.'
Monday:
Work. Lose the will to live.
Home. Become irritated by landlady.
Tuesday:
Work. Deal with yet another cock up created by someone else's incompetence.
Home. Become irritated by landlady.
Wednesday:
Work. Still dealing with fall out from above cock up.
Home.....yes, you've guessed the rest of the week!

 

[Reggie Plate]

Stop Boasting!

How did you manage to hang on to the will to live for so long? what is your secret, Sometimes I am so bored I even chat to BG! My life took an even worse turn recently when my alter ego Reg Plate got more emails than I

I admit it's an enviable lifestyle.
Well I'm clearly built for endurance rather than speed. And I'm a hopeless daydreamer.
Between the two I somehow manage to go on, and on, and on........
