Mackem.... Don't know if it's been asked before, but roughly how much do you spend weekly when eating out. 

All look top end places and the grub looks top notch 

Not a lot , they do the fly in my soup … there’s a hair in my tagliatelle, never frequents the same establishment twice does Mack ..

Rabbit Pie ! And, for the purists, made with shortcrust pastry, NOT puff pastry ! ? ! Cheers.

Treat off my dad tonight, he's a friend on the fresh fish stall up town... Scallops and lemon sole fillets...

Family get together at ours, so a bit of a spread.. 13 hour cooked brisket, slow cooked pork shoulder.. Home made coleslaw, stuffing, roasties... and a 2 day hangover! Lol

Not really , well at least for most average folks . Same with goat . It's a beef pork or chicken game for the most part here lol

Can't say I've ever seen great pastures with loads of sheep grazing,in the USA,  does makes sense ! You like it ? Looked nicely cooked, just pink enough for me !

"An elderly Russian woman kept spooning me caviar!!"

Very nice lady,I could have spoken to her for hours,but I had a table booked for lunch,I think in a way we were kindred spirits,you know when you meet someone and you bounce off each other easily,sympatico.

Absolutely! Cheap caviar tastes nothing like the pricey stuff. A friend is a niece of a Belarusian politician. The stuff she used to get sent over here was crazy good. Then he got imprisoned and she moved away. Good vodka too but not as good as the stuff my Polish mate's mum makes :laugh:

There's a Russian delicatessen here in one of the poshest areas of Barcelona, you should see the prices, absolutely mental. 225 notes for 30g is nothing compared to what people will spend in there ;)

100% I tried five different types,the Beluga triple zero was smooth,creamy and far less salty than the others.
