Last one we had I ended up with pretty much the cheapest food off the menu, the veggie option, so made up for it by ordering lots of cocktails. Managed to corrupt a couple of co-workers into doing the same too. Here's the restaurant's cocktail list http://mashsteak.co.uk/assets/Uploads/Cocktail-book-MASH2.pdf

I'll let you guess which one I went for :D

Yep, I think I can guess! : )

Some costly cocktails, there!

Huh, not much food about the place here...looks like an egg salad sandwich tonight and some pasts is gonna be about it till Friday and groceries. Funny, how quick groceries run out.

Yeah that place isn't cheap. Not one I'd choose if I were picking up the tab.

Doesn't sound like much to build a meal from. Anything in your freezer (if you have one)?

Let's see: A bag of ice cubes! Well, could always order a pizza, it's temping...

So let's see: so those would be $17 drinks, here! Sounds like an easy place to run up quite a high tab, I think I could have fun with that, pending I wasn't paying : P

Supplier-paid lunches are fun :D. I do have to declare them though, which means I can't have too many or everyone thinks I'm an alcoholic. We're not permitted to give anyone additional business on the basis of them getting us off our trolleys. Breaks the law over here.

Speaking of Bananas:

@backpawscratcher : I once saw a discussion about various types of bananas, and how nowadays, one type tends to dominate supermarkets. But it made me curious, about if other 'heirloom' and different varieties exist. Myself, I love watermelon, and there must easily be over 100 cultivars or types, so I was wondering how diverse the world of banas is. : )

I was talking to a friend who now lives in Ecuador, and he was saying that while one kind makes up the bulk of exports, most Ecuadorians find it absurd that we know only one banana. Apparently they have a number of types, served in different ways, but most of them are consumed domestically.

Is that the time? I should get off to bed, really. G'night, furries.

You're right. Roughly the bananas grown around the world are of one type, the Cavendish, a variety that was developed in England of all places. However, there's a problem with that variety in that the plants are infertile, meaning that all new plants are cut and spliced from existing ones. This means that there's no way to breed resistance to disease into it, and now that there are fungal blights occurring the banana plants are dying off. This is causing a mad scramble to find a resistant strain and see how they can create some sort of hybrid between it and the Cavendish.

All of which means I might have to become a plantain-muncher instead :eek: Hoping it doesn't come to that of course.

Night otter. Sleep well :)

@Simo Massan's Ecuadorian friend is also correct. There are hundreds of different types of banana across Africa and South America, but most of them are virtually ignored by the big plantations. In the UK we only really get two, maybe three, types. In Spain there are more, but certainly no more than a dozen. Madness really.

Huh, I've been getting similar glitches on my computer, but haven't tried my phone; looks like maybe the pages aren't loading correctly? Weird, though.
