Mem, I've asked my parents about the environs - I'm printing off your post for them to read.
In the meantime - back to kebabs
I was holding out pretty well... then my sister, niece and nephew came over this afternoon. They had all had kebabs for lunch. Well, it's half term.
That was it - it was meant to be. I got Dad to drive me up before dinner - Mum succumbed as well, although she had chicken, while I had that old standby, the donner.
Perry, you were right. The garlic had some pungency (I can taste it now) but the chilli didn't even raise a tingle. The sausage and chicken casserole I made last night had more heat and flavour!
Anyway, documented below.
1) OOOH! The anticipation!
2) 'Babs on plates - mine is closer to the camera.
