Or at least it is between the months of August through to May. The rest of the time I may feel able to write about something other than a not especially successful football team.

Was I wrong
to be embarrassed when whilst over in a pub in deepest rural Wales my sister asked for her chicken to be well done?
Reminds me, tangentially, of a painful conversation I had when asking for chili con carne, and the person serving me said "is that normal, or veggie chili con carne?"
Why would that be wrong? If you like your meat well done, you should ask for it - though I am in the habit of apologising to them if I ask for my filet mignon butterflied and well done. They hate doing that to a nice piece of meat, but I don't like it rare in the middle. :P
On a mega plate Naldo, with mountains of chips and veg....which went some way to explaining just how the family who owend teh place had come to be the size they were. I.e - the biggest people I have ever seen outside of America.
Jenny - if only she had - then the woman might simply have thought she had misunderstood my sister.
Trousers, indeed rare chicken is not nice, which is why I suppose restaurants tend to cook chicken well in the first place. 'Normal or veggie?' Love it!
Jay - certainly agree re beef and lamb. But hearing such a request re chicken was a definite first for me - and by the expression on the landlady's face - the first time she had been asked for such a thing too :-)
Formerly known as Just Jane, but with a blog move carried out in haste I managed to end up with a blog nickname I hate..J bloody J. Oh well, too late to do anything about it now. Call me what you will. So apart from a stupid title I have three off spring, one very special bloke, lots of friends, a great family, a job I love and a rubbish football team who I love too. I also have a tendency to go on abit.....you have been warned.

Aye.
Was it served in the basket?
Did she ask in Welsh?
No you weren't. Rare chicken isn't very nice.
