It's good stuff!

 

[Flintstone]

Sounds very unusual, do you have it hot ?

 

[One Day]

Yes, it's like smokey green tea. Bit of an acquired taste.

 

[Tile Shop]

MCDONALDS!

 

[Andy Allen]

Just cheese and pickle today....ran out of ham.......pack of crisps and an apple.
And a cup of typhoo instant tea out my flask....posh or what..!!

 

[Tile Shop]

MCDONALDS......... again.

2 days on the bounce. Can't get into the habit of doing a pack-up every day. It happens for about 3 days, then just stops. Greggs and Subway are also within walking distance, but they don't do sweet and sour sauce or nuggets!

Think of the money you could save taking a packed lunch......buy yourself a sigma by Xmas ..

 

[Tile Shop]

Sigma??? I'd be able to buy a van by xmas

[Flintstone]

I go to sandwich shop 99% of the time, I only take pack up if I'm working out in the peaks where there isn't any shops or working somewhere where there isn't a decent shop, I could write a blog about all the sandwich shops within a 30 miles radius!

 

[Italy]

if I had to eat what you eat, I gastritis every day.
you have an iron stomach?

 

[Flintstone]

It's what your used to Antonio, if your brought up on Mammas homa cook in' your gonna find it hard to eat what all these Londoners eat for lunch, pea and mash, or a jar of jellied eeels.

 

[Italy]

Here, they eat like you, only the southerners Southern Italy. garlic, chilli, all heavy stuff, because they take longer to eat than the time to work.

 

[Time's Ran Out]

It's the same here - southerners eat too much poor quality food.

john excuse if I would, but I wanted to make things clearer.
here is the opposite of uk, north Italy is more frantic, many people do not eat at noon, or eat rubbish at mcdonald or similar.
while in the south Italy, much better they eat (only more spicy) and when they sit down to eat, do not get up more, from the table.
compry now?

 

[Time's Ran Out]

I understand - Rick Stein was on the tv yesterday in Palermo and they eat all the time.

The food is about the only good thing about sicily. I think it was illegal to not have squid at some point during a meal. My ex's dad had an apartment in Capo d'Orlando. Some of the best restaurants i've been too...... but the state of the place was a train wreck!
Capo d'Orlando was a dump
Palermo was a dump
Lecarra Friddi was a black hole to nowhere
Trapani was a dump
Cefalu and Messina were both ok though.
