BBC - Midlands Today - Index FRIDAY 24th September 2004 aprox 18 mins inrto the sequence 19 42secs when I appear for 10 or 1 sec in long shot
I was in long shot closing a segment about Birmingham Markets today renamed Bullring Markets - looks good on my new 1mb connection !
I went shopping for soup bones and ended up as well with lamb chops and a couple of steaks and a quarterd broiler chicken.
3 portions already in the deep freeze and one in the presssure cooker.
Arbroath Smokies too which will make a change from the danish smoked mackerel or herrings.
Then stocked up on fruit and vegetables - gloriously fresh big carrots , onions, english apples - I can never say no to COXES, grapes, conference pears, oranges, grapefuits - about 6 ot 7 of each for each£1 - then 3 for £1 a white cabbage, a savoy cabbage and an iceberg lettuce.
I have enough frozen fish from the last visit - so wentt to tell them how good the frozen salmon was. That is at the end of the best cheese place in Birmingham with mature cheddar and a stilton nearing perfection and beginning to turn brown.
So we chatted about the wonderful stilton serve whole with a spoon at
Bentley's
11-15 Swallow Street
London
W1R 7HD
with a wonderful port
and their consomme with an oyster in it.
Set up in 1916, this traditional seafood and oyster bar is redolent of class and the glory days of yore.
Settle into a private booth amid wood panelling and bay windows, and start with lobster soup, crack open a crab, slip down a few oysters, or daintily tuck into a dish of succulent sea bass or mouth-watering red mullet with aubergine and cumin.
Offering a real eclectic catch from four different types of caviar to comfort classics like cod and chips, there are also set lunch and dinner menus that represent very good value.
Alternatively, you can eat at the bar for a fraction of the price.
The wine cellar is voluminous, and a bottle of house wine can be reeled in for around £16.
