Oh and because of Aldi and Lidl, I think we have accepted that the Germans are actually pretty good at desserts!

I know growing up my old dad wouldn't eat anything unless it was cooked at home by our mum, the only exception was occasionally fish & chips from the local chippy - you can just imagine a council house in the 80s with 4 late teen / early 20s boys in the house, the various different take away meals we brought home after a night out - (Chinese, Indian, Kebabs etc) according to dad absolutely everything was "foreign muck" & we really got it in the neck if there was a take away smell in the kitchen in the morning or we didn't throw all the wrappings & any left overs away.

Originally posted by YT I challenge you to eat a chicken phall if we nick all 3 points. Do you accept? Sure. I don't often go Phall, but I can and i will if we win. In India in the South where I hung out a few years back in Kovalam they don't eat very hot food so I was always asking for hotter. I may go tonight as well. Probably do Chicken dansak, cauliflower bhaji spicy, tarka dal, pilau rice and say 5 poppadum with a good few Cobras. Really build myself up for the game tomorrow. Any points will make it a great start to the season. Hope the players don't follow my choice tonight though.
