favourite ethnic food `? ( a.k.a. - where should I go out to eat tonight )

Coming a bit late in the discussion, but what about crèpes from Brittany?

for those of you that have been sitting on the edge of your seats all weekend wondering what we did friday ---
well, we neglected to allow for August... half the restaurants around here close up shop for an august holiday and of course our Japanese place was locked up with a sign "back on 15august" ... so we decided to drive just over the border to a little sushi place... that was yep, you guessed it... closed for holidays.
we wound up at a nice little indian place down the street from that.. nice food, surly waiters

as you were.

I'm trying to make my mind up on what we're having today.
Ste is far too easy going to make a decision, Mum will defer to him because he works in London. So I'm going in with all the facts so we don't dither about for 30 minutes.

We have vouchers for Cafe Rouge (French)
Gourmet Burger Kitchen
Zizzi (Italian)
Pizza Express
La Tasca (Spanish)

Ste think Zizzi has the best offer as it's 25% off all main meals.
I've actually worked out that we're better with a Buy One Get One Free, especially on the tapas offer at La Tasca. But I don't know how he feels about tapas.

I might push for GBK as I know he loves it there, and it's the second cheapest.

Or third choice - if Mum is spooking about our diets (I've only lost 6lbs in 15 days, I'm very disheartened) then we can go to Pizza Express and split a main. Works out even cheaper!

Will let you know tomorrow exactly what we had and where and what it was like.

6lb in 15 days is good

[Stormieweather]

6 pounds in 15 days is amazing!! Usually, a sustainable loss runs between 1-2 pounds per week. I've done slightly less than 1 pound a week, this entire year.

Anyway, I vote French.

And if I'd been in time to vote for Grynch's meal, I'd have voted Greek...yumm!

We went with what Mum wanted, which was the same Pizza Hut deal we had last week in Cardiff.
As it was her treat it seemed best to agree - and she was so excited by the pizza last week she really had been fantasising about it.
Dad won't buy take-away pizzas. He says the ones from Tesco are just as good. Fair enough, it's his money. But when Mum gets a chance she really does enjoy a fresh one.

The deal is a pizza, garlic bread or potato wedges, unlimited salad and a drink for £5 (£5.50 if you want refills)
That's amazing. And given we ate in Leciester Square, where you pay £3.00 for a slice of pizza that has been sat there for a long time, and £2 for a 500ml bottle of Coke, that's mega amazing.

I gave my garlic bread to Ste and only ate half my pizza (and none of the crust!). And I was sensible in my salad choices - no tortilla chips, bacon bits, sauces etc. Lettuce, peppers, onions, jalapenos and a little bit of sweetcorn. I think I walked it all off anyway!

Oh, checked the scales this morning, have lost another 4lbs somewhere.
So I'm doing all right after all

STELLLLLLAAAAAAAAA!

Could be worse... Imagine Pizza with Tsing Tao
