As Mr G1 said I, through practical application of culinary recommendations (in another city, which is also located in another country!), have come to trust his opinion on what is good food. This is mainly because we did agree with each other, so in true Mrs Thatcher style, that makes him a right thinking person in my book and you will just have to take my word that he his indeed an expert in such matters! As he said also, his breadth of experience is without challenge.

So it was not blowing any smoke, I was just ensuring that a confirmed culinary expert (see above) was going to reply on the thread I started. I also, being a fair and equal person, invited anyone else who thought that they could potentially lay claim to be given the expert seal of approval, based on my defined criteria (also see above), to proffer their opinion.

I did exclude Damo because while I am partial to a good 'full English' not on a Saturday night out in Leeds.

I liked the idea of a really, really good steak.

Then I saw the price...
