25th July, 2009 - The Last Meal Before I Die

I have been buying The List magazine again in an effort to find things to do with the kids other than sitting them in front of C Beebies.I was looking at it tonight, and there’s a bit in it where they ask celebrities what was the best meal they ever had.

That is an easy one for me. If I ever become a celbrity, I will be able to answer that one swiftly. The best meal I have ever had was in a Spanish restaurant in the Red Light District in Amsterdam. It was a run down place with trestle tables, but it was jammed with locals – business men, hookers, staff from local bars – all crammed shoulder to shoulder because they knew that the food here was special.

Red Wine; Squid in Ink; Steak in a brandy sauce and sautéed potatoes.
