Ken the only day that I have planned is the 3rd
May, going fishing with a guide that Ginger recommended last year,he is a really
nice guy.
Other than that I should be free most times just
need to get permission from my wife.

I'll have to cast a vote for British food. I love it. All of
the "pub grub": fish & chips, the pies, the stews, the toasties, bangers
& mash, a mushroom dish whose name escapes me at the moment. Oh and of
course the ales aren't bad either. :-)
Birdie (and Ginger), I'll be in
Sanibel the first or second week of May. Perhaps we can try and get
together?

Bland it can be. Wont argue that.
BUT we dont have chillies growing wild, okra by the roadside or any other
such spicey vegetable apart maybe from wild horseradish which WILL blow your
tastebuds to bits. And roast beef with horseradish is a British institution.
Curry? Plenty of curry houses in Stoke. No need to travel to Birmingham or
London.
There is a trend to using game
meats now around the UK and very good it is too.
Fish? We import plenty as our
wonderfull fishing fleet has completely screwed the surrounding fishing
grounds by over fishing. And letting in the fleets from Spain Portugal and
France has not helped either.
As for the BFF Steve Thornton
does not have anything to do with it now. Steve Cooper is running it and
Thornton is running the Spring Show. Still plenty of room for two shows
IMHO.
The state of British food and fishing IS in good nick. Dont believe
all you are told
My last word on it

Happy birthday for the 12th

Enough with all this knocking British
food.
I was born here and have survived 54
years on the 12th March.
I have eaten in Paris, New York, Rome and
Florida and come to think of it our food is crap, ok keep
knocking.
