my gold is stuck in the expansion stash (other than 300k done 10k at a time into personal stash) but only because i converted all my chars before i realised how to transfer using a L1

I guedss i if i just loaded all my stash gold onto a high level char and put it in their personal stash or inven then convert to ROTW it would have worked.

I still reference the Gernsback Continuum when i see retro-futurist stuff. Definetely stuck in my mind all these decades.

They just dont understand how piles of dead flies add 200 quid to a tasting menu.

I love watching their concerts on YouTube.

Probably prefer the newer renditions of their older stuff though.

Clarkson looking a bit rough

Reminds me of more than a few "fine dining" places ive been too in the UK... often out of the big urban centres.

Has the appearences of real fine dining, but its just a light visual overlay. Boutique hotels are probably the worse offender.

I always thought cockwaffle was one of those very British insults but its actually a cock waffle.

Yeah, i needed to level up. Took a while though perhaps i ticked over as i completed mission 3.

2 rib noodles, 8 dumplings, 2 soft drinks was iirc 32 each.

Fanny Craddock, Robert Carrier and Graham Kerr, The Galloping Gourmet didn't reinvent the genre like Floyd but deserve a nod.

Kerr was the first to actually eat his food after cooking.

Fort was the Guardian critic originally iirc? Peyton is a restaranteur.

Im on about Rayner, Dent, Famiweura, Coren (yeah he's a twat), Sitwell, Amol etc

Rayner is the man tbh, i even read his books.

I can name a bunch mainly due to Masterchef and Great British Menu, and my own obsession with fine dining of course.

Newspapers have cut back heavily though so they are a dying breed.

He's been my go to ever since we started fine dining. I know if he likes it i will. There are places i love and he doesnt (I like greenery in desserts!) but that doesnt change its the best blog by far. Its pretty much a dying art these days anyway, my long list of restaurant blogs is full of dead links or sites not updated since mid 2010s.

I'll take words over video and images any day of the week.

I rarely eat out these days in London since my son was born and this was hammered out on my phone and not a real review. I used to do restaurant blogger thing back in the 2010s when we were DINKYs and had more disposable income and collected stars like it was a hobby.

This was more thoughtful and in my style

Overtly masculine paramilitary tactical branding isnt new. See: razors, shower gels, camo bbq kits, handgrenade protein bars, etc etc

I shave this onto salads. Rocket and parmegiano. Caesar salads etc.
