Part of the reason for going there was to be driven down the only two way road in the UK where you drive on the right.
Strictly speaking you can drive down any two way road in the UK on the right, it just depends how brave you are and/or how much wine you had with breakfast.

Food looks pretty good to me and the right sort of quantity. :thumbup:

(You'll know why you can drive down the access on the right, I'm sure. Were you alighting from your carriage?).

I've driven that road, and parked on it.


In fact I took great pleasure in parking a scabby Talbot Alpine there in amongst the Rollers. :D

Sorry no pic but a cup of coffee and 2 chocolate digestive biscuits.

That’ll keep me going till lunchtime, sometimes later. I don’t seem to eat much at all these days, I just don’t feel hungry.

Symptom of retirement and getting older I assume.

Indeed.
I try and eat in the Kimpton whenever I’m close, because apparently it’s decorated exactly like the dining room on the Titanic, same bloke did both.
It's a bit off the usual beaten track bit the council building in Horsham has the look and feel of a 30s luxury liner inside. (Outside is just typical New Brutalism). All curves and expanses of wood + rather nice stuff like handrails etc.

Not a great photo as it was still a bit dark. I give you homemade granola with a yoghurt and milk mix and chopped strawberries and blueberries.

Mannish Water - according to the net:-


If I had to choose a favorite soup, mannish water would undoubtedly be the one. Not for the faint of heart. The main ingredients in this reputed aphrodisiac are goat’s head, tripe and testicles.
Yes!
You read that correctly.
A male goat is required to make authentic Jamaican mannish water. If you’re not an adventurous eater you may want to by pass this one. If however you are a fan of adventurous culinarians like Anthony Bourdain and Andrew Zimmern this Jamaican delicacy is right up your alley. And. Aphrodisiac or not I love this soup. So much so that I have had relatives in Jamaica freeze my portion of mannish water for months at a time because I missed a holiday or other celebration

My Sisters other half is Jamaican, so I get a few culinary delights from him. But this was more mannish water light with only normal goat meat, or at least from the normal body cuts not the head, guts and bollocks. TBH i'd rather have had jerk chicken as this was a bit tame, nice though

TBF, from by working life I had a fairly good global culinary knowledge - but had never heard of that. :thumbup:

Isn't it the inspiration for the Rolling Stones album title?

I'd heard of it cause it was on an episode of River Cottage in the early noughties. He did a pirate themed dinner for the RNLI and that was one of the dishes. Weird what you remember :lol:

Yet another firm hit by a mysterious IT glitch - lot of that going around. This is how it begins, I've seen Terminator 3. I'm feeling pretty good about all those shopping robots I rescued now.
