Darling, the Guide doesn't even send inspectors to Canada.

King Island camembert cheese. Lindt dark chocolate covered almonds or hazelnuts. Frangelico liquer. Sigh. All lovely, but I try to limit the intake now to special occasions.

Fortunately in a large family it is not too long between special occasions!

BL. Not destined to be a skinny old lady any time soon.

It may horrify you to learn that in nearly 50 years on the planet the poshest place I've ever eaten is here: http://www.scotsmanspackcountryinn.co.uk/menus

Actually, Karl, it looks quite nice. I would rather have an outstanding beef pie and mash than an indifferent bit of wankery garnished with seared foie gras. I still remember a particular venison pie I had in Moulin, Scotland about ten years ago. Perfection. Your post has given me an idea for my next hike in the UK - I must do some research.

I could cop to that - and while I don't eat out much any more, I like good ingredients and sometimes spend what must seem like an inordinate amount of time on preparation.

I also like smelling nice - though the expense of a decent cologne can be spread out over quite a long time
