Prawn cocktail, steak with chips and peas followed by Black Forest gateau. Washed down with a pint or two of Double Diamond.. .. and people think that Britain lost it culinary way in the 70s. Pah!!

Its such as shame tha nowadays the smells coming from the tents arent so much sweet and herby but acrid and Deep-Heaty. People sitting round sipping sensible herbal teas, not rough cider.

You can with pleasure. They chafe my bunions something rotten.

*Country casserole = any casserole cooked and consumed in the countryside. Most of the imgredients were purchased in the big city, but it was scoffed in a rural setting.* *Settles down with a Venti skinny latte and the Telegraph*

Actually, it was Friday I was originally going for but got the date wrong (you wont put me in charge of these arrangements will you!). So, Friday the 11th ?

Wotcha!

Many thanks for your ideas. Conversation a few hours ago: Mother: "Ooh I do like the Mirash, that Mr Ray is so nice" Mikewbate: "Yes Mum" There you go.

Sight diary related cock up, but hey. 12th Ok for everybody thus far?

Buy the video? >:D< Arent you a bit old for this sort of thing?

*Walk in, carefully, seems to be alot of cheesecake and blood in the carpet. You are a violent lot in my absence* *Am feeling stiff after weekend of digging a mates country garden, drinking country beer and eating country casseroles* *Ease myself into comfy country chair, waves to one and all, good to be back" *Wiggle nose and a mojito pops into being* *Not sure about the plastic shoes DM*

DM - you were wearing them at the last EDF drinkie, I remember their very turqoise hue. Went with your eyes, after a few of those industrial strength dry white wines you were on.

I was invited to organise the next gathering of the clan. A general concensus has developed around The Clock House Pub - which is aross the road from peckham rye, which would allow the young folk to frolic with rounders bats and maypoles and the older folks to drink beer and wine and wonder why it wasnt like this in our day. The date: The last EDF dos' were about 4 weeks apart. So, how about 12 May? It is also 2 days before the ED Fair and would give us an opportunity to discuss what we might do at the fair. Thoughts??

Is this turning into the "Next EDF drinkie" thread? I will start anew one to avoid confusion!

How about a EDF Calendar as a fund raiser? "We need bigger buns"

I shall be planing my pot based runner beans on the balcony early next week. My small Bay tree seems to be liking the balcony.

So, no chance of him gigging at the next EDF drink then?

It would perhaps be a good thing if the Ivanhoe regulars decided that it was not the place for them.

This area must be convenient for the Producer of Grand Designs - they were in Peckham this week.

Oy! Back on topic the lot of you! How dare you question proclivities on a thread about the blessed Mother. So far only Sean has come up with sensible suggestions. Given the fact that I know you are a bibulous crew I cannot believe that an encyclopedic knowledge of LL eateries is beyond our collectve ken. :)) (The aforementioned off topic posts have been removed - The Administrator)

I havent really experienced the full range of ED restaurants. The blessed Mother arrives on Monday and I would like to take her to an ED restaurant. Noting too posh, Mothers methodist upbringing would not approve. Easy walking distance of home (by Goose Green). Ta!

OOoooooh! How very modern.

I will be a judge being an expert on the female form.

And so all the more alluring ... ;-)

In your current persona perhaps DM, but as Penelope Pitstop - I suspect that anything is possible.

Jimbo - we did an team build at South West London College in their training kitchens. It was a bit like Ready Steady Cook and great fun.
