Ribs were good to be fair! :)

Glad you enjoyed it! I didn't realise you hadn't already eaten it - otherwise I wouldn't have passed comment!

Puttanesca is the base sauce but you can add stuff as you please if you think it fits. Sometimes add mushrooms and once did scallops which went well. Got some fresh pasta to go with it.

My mate from school used to own that place think he still does. Never been on the basis It wasn’t Italian owned. I’m funny like that. Is it actually any good??

Alan's a cracking chap

He doesn't look like an Alan if I'm honest

Either way, he's not doing the cooking

Mushrooms?

You filthy bastard.

Puttanesca means prostitute. No shit.

The sauce is named so as, during the time of Il Duce, brothels or even single loose ladies operating alone were reluctantly tolerated by the 'good' women of the village/town/city...The brasses had to follow certain protocols though, permanent shuttering of their residences being one, another being forced to do all their shopping at a prescribed time/day - so as not to offend the sensibilities of the chaste by rubbing their whore shoulders against the pure down the market. So, unlike others, the poor hookers couldn't shop on a daily basis - so their sauces would tend to be based on stuff that 'keeps', such as jarred/tinned; tomatoes, capers, anchovies, olives etc.

Google was not used to assist reporting this fact 😃 As a kid I thought rudimentary knowledge of Italian cuisine was one facet of escaping the G/L ghetto - so I stole a book on pasta and pizza.

Fuck takeaways. Morrisons are knocking fillet steak out half price. Wife bought some packed in fours for five pounds a pack. 

Jersey royals, eight fillets and veg for four of us last night. Beats any takeaway

That’s cheap I’d expect they’d be about half inch thick, proper butchers is only place to buy meat, I’d expect to pay £20 plus for 4 pieces of decent size steak fillet.

Tried Jon’s chippy last night, it was good, terrific VFM.

will be going again

Yeah the same fella has had Baci and Ciao Baby for years. Food was top notch and very well organised. Had to wait a bit, but was very busy. You give them your car reg when ordering and then they just come out and stick it in your boot.

“Alan” must be the older one? Anyway no you’re right they aren’t doing the cooking but it’s just psychological for me

they bought the village chippy and I stopped going there too when I was ever at my mums. 
 

but I always go to his Chinese go figure. This is what a warped mind does to one
