How do you cook squid so it doesnt go all rubbery? I want to love it - but whenever I do it (and most of the time I get it in a restaurant) its like old rubber bands

Real quick and cross the flesh with a knife.

Rolls up in the pan. I love squid.

Feck me - never knew that. Down to the fish man this w/end.

Cheers both.

Talking of food, apparently psychologists are once again questioning free will. This time, it's based on research that shows we're more likely to indulge in risky behaviour if we're hungry, even if the behaviour doesn't provide food.

the idea is that we're fairly basic animals, so evolutionary benefit is gained by us becoming more daring when we're at risk from malnutrition. So that dangerously expensive joint of beef down the supermarket is less of a perceived threat to our wallet, the more we need to buy it (you get my drift).

But because evolution is imprecise, we don't just increase risk in order for the payoff of satiating hunger and avoiding starvation. We take risks in other ways too,

Good enough reason not to diet then

Does this carry through into beer and help me understand my compulsion to buy the expensive Belgian xx% stuff rather than the Fosters?

Or is it that I cant resist buying a beer called Qwak?

I'm sure that just shows discernment.

I'm a Guinness drinker myself

Hmmm.

Never heard of this place Guy so many thanx. Any excuse to drag the brood over to Wookey Hole Inn gladly received. Great beer garden with the mosaic furniture

[G-Stud]

Is that the round bottomed glass in the wooden stand? Asking for trouble when you have to get a stand with your glass.

Top top beer though. First came across it at the Wookey Hole Inn in Zummerset. Draft Kwak ...now theres a thing of beauty

[Ted Dansons Wig]

That's the very glass. I can't imagine being able to get it back into the stand when you've had a few though!

[calliope]

or you can buy another one. If you don't want to fix it.
