You should be on Masterchef, TC! Greg would "absolutely LUV ITTah".

Cooking bass DOESN'T GET TOUGHER THAN THIS.

Reducing a glass - does this involve just drinking most of it?

There speaks a man who hasn't tried Welsh wine...

Most recipes - and indeed, most food - can be improved by adding a glass of wine* during the cooking process.


*to the cook, of course

Not bad stuff, but if I'm in Penderyn I'll choose the pub over the distillery any day...

I'm always open to new experiences.

(My best buddy pubbore will be delighted to read that I have had a Shropshire pinot noir. The thinnest, weediest thing I've drunk.)

There are loads of sunny bits, ackshully. We only show the visitors the rainy bits - don't want loads of people from Cheltenham moving here, after all.

It's just possible that he is winding you up. With the batter thing, that is, not the tendentious right-wing rubbish...

Indeed, there was a touch of a wind up. I descaled it, and baked it in the oven with roast vegetables - potatoes, peppers, onion and courgette. I'd wrapped it in foil with some lemon juice and gave it about ten minutes. With top quality ingredients, I work on the basis of, the simpler the better.

It was either R Whites lemonade and Elvis Costello did the soundtrack or Vimto.

I'm not going to drink anything that's an anagram of vomit...

Blimey, Patrick Stevens not posting in P&L. He's like a fish out of water. No wonder he needs so much help cooking an old fish. Was it something one of your clients gave you, in lieu of payment perhaps?

Advice on fiscal policy?

That's how it is in rural areas. Grateful clients drop by with sea trout, grouse, a haunch of venison and the like. A traditional Christmas gift is a bowl of lamphreys.
