The meal tonight was ginormous :shock:

3 very large and thick turkey breast steaks :roll:

topped with mushrooms and a cream sauce, with the normal rice and chips - all for 7.50

One steak came home with us :lol:

And I've just munched it - just as nice cold as it was hot :lol:

Sounds lovely, Ton.

But hardly a meal to go to bed on. You had better have a dance round the room now.

Are you ready........

Don't think I could Aggers - tummy rather full

But I'll try..................

:Hi:

Next week, we're trying a different restaurant we were told about tonight. 4 friends went there, 3 chicken, chips, rice and salad, one lamb chops, ditto. A litre and a half of wine, coffees, bread, olives etc, as is normal here.

36 euros :shock:

Oh goodness! :lol:

That reminds me of my first trip to San Jose, California.

So I am in the hotel in their mid afternoon, but my body says bedtime and I m hungry. Looking from the balcony I see a chicken joint sign, so off I go.

They don't do fries or chips, but mash and gravy is the side order. I order the three piece deal with side order.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

Eventually I get this massive box and go back to the hotel where I find: Three HUGE Southern fried chicken breasts, three tubs of gravy and three tubs of mash. I was up all night but eventually polished it all off. :oops:

Gannet

We'll try this restaurant next week and see.

Our friends go to one rather good (and expensive for around here) restaurant a couple of times a week :shock:

O Novo Coimbra. The steak, apparently, is gorgeous. Normal steak, not black pork.

So we'll try that in a week or so - when the kitchen is a mess, the garden is a mess and I just want to leave home :lol:

Restaurants in the US are super expensive. :shock:

Go for an Italian, Chinese, Greek etc. and you will pay a fortune. Go for fast food or to a Drive-in and they are well reasonable. The best deals, however, are in their Dives (pubs with food) - all you can eat and drink for pennies.

€36 didn't sound bad for what you got. We are going out for a curry tomorrow (three of us) to celebrate Soph's placement in London. £50 should see us all with starter, main and afters, plus a few drinks.
