Boys' day out

Today a friend shouted me lunch at a bar. When we arrived we were the only people there, but it soon filled up with about 20 oldies who were having a few pre-lunch drinks before moving on next door to The Curry Club.

We stayed in the tavern and had a nice pasta dish washed down with a few beers. The dish was Penne Arrabiata, a spicy tomato sauce, this one with sliced pepperoni as the meat component.
Delicious! A recipe is here.

I must check out the Curry Club. We both love curries and usually cook a couple each week.

I read recently about Britain's curry restaurants numbering around 8,000, having trouble keeping staff. Maybe they are returning to India to man call centres.
