Skosh – York
Skosh - sounds a bit like a weapon someone would have used in the olden days. “He was clobbered to death with a skosh.” I don’t know the origins of the name of this restaurant, but I’m sure if you Google it you’ll probably find out.

Roots – York
Tommy Banks, sounds a bit like cockney rhyming slang doesn’t it? “I’m just popping to the allotment for a Tommy Banks.” = “I’m off to the shed for a wank.” There was, fortunately, no masturbating during my visit to Roots, mainly because Tommy wasn’t there. Full disclosure: I actually booked this meal because I’d been … Continue reading Roots – York

I’ve seen lots of social media noise over the last few days of people competing to show whether they’re more excited about pubs or gyms … Continue reading Bad pints

One of the eye-openers for me, … Continue reading The end of food…
Masterchef the Professionals: Series 13 episode 8
There are four of them again! Hooray! Here comes the slow motion walk to the studio, and these are the headlines: • Jahdre got 3 hours sleep. • Joe thinks he can go all the way. • Luke is nervous. Again, imagine not getting chosen to do that bit because what you said was duller … Continue reading Masterchef the Professionals: Series 13 episode 8
