Now if there one thing that is beginning to annoy me and several of my supplier friends, it is the miss use of information relating to the provenance of ingredients and suppliers on menus. Customers are being misled into believing the product is local or genuine, when it is really a cheap and nasty import from lesser suppliers. Yes there is a recession, but at least be honest with your punters, whom are paying hard earned cash. If you have any queries over the origin of meal, please don't be afraid to ask, or if you don't think you are going to get a proper answer ring the supplier yourself. They would be more than willing to hear from you

Why on earth can you just walk into certain shops and pick up a knife and pay for it.

All knives should be sold from a secure dispense unit

NEW concept for you folks, Buy some fruit or vegetables and don't use it until is bloody ripe enough for the pot!!!!!!

While you are looking at the delivery lorries pulling up at the restaurant you are about to eat at, have you every wondered what they are they delivering

Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares;

The scary thing is that every town has one!

Congratulations to all my customers who had Grey Mullet, Oxtail, Lamb's Offal, Stuffed Cabbage and Parsnips on 14th February, Just proves not everything has to be pink

 It is good to see a chef talking sense on the telly and I take my hat off to Richard Corrigan whom has really impressed me with his preaching about the use of real British produce.

Hello

Aussies

Wee, sleekit, cowrin, tim'rous beastie,
O, what a panic's in thy breastie!
Thou need na start awa sae hasty
Wi bickering brattle!
I wad be laith to rin an' chase thee,
Wi' murdering pattle.
