Who's eating in a restaurant then ?

[Yambo]

I like to eat out.

Quite like going to restaurants too.

I find the tent/gazebo things REALLY noisy... MAybe that's more me than them, but i'm not feeling them at all.

I'd rather have a secluded table even if it's a bit chilly etc..

I'd rather stay at home, buy expensive ingredients and cook them myself, a friend of mine trained as a chef at the savoy and taught me the trick to getting decent food at a restaurant, look at the menu and work out what they "can't fuck up too much" (his words), when eating out I've followed this advice and my restaurant experience has improved massively.

What about just going to a decent restaurant in the first place

I used to do that when I lived in the UK. Ok not proper restaurants but everything that is at the 'affordable' end is pretty risky. Pubs, 90% chance of disappointment. That's not to say they haven't improved.

Spain and France for example, not so much of a lottery and you can get great, simple tucker in restaurants and cafes for cheap.
