On a lowfares company, for the price of the meal you could have been in Spain!

Think about that!

Love tapas, if done properly.

What you want to try is some

Higado (grilled liver)
Pinchos (Spicy pork kebabs)
Battered prawns (err, yeah, I forgot the Spanish for that )
Croquette (lLittle thingys filled with either ham and cheese or tuna)
Albondigas (meat *****)
and some patatas alioli (sliced pataoes, lightly fried and garlic mayo )

But that lot would cost about 30 euros for two including the drinks, desert, coffee and tipple for the road

And yeah, it's fecking freezing in Valenica at the mo, I have the central heating on full and I can see snow on the hilltops..typical Spanish February round these parts

Went to a French restaurant in Auckland, NZ and the Chef was Scottish!

My nephew is Anglo Saxon of origin and is a supervisor of an Indian in Ibiza



I think as long as the style is adhered to and its good food, it doesn't matter a damn who does the cooking

Me and the Mrs went to one in Brum last November. Foul night, the bar was in the regenerated are off Broad Street, opposite Gas Street basin.

The food was superb, and it had LOADS of beers from allover the world.

The day we were there, someone had been shot on Broad Street the night before

I LOVE the name "Gas Street". Birmingham also used to have an "Oxygen Street", and a "Sheep Street", both up near Aston Uni.
