I only have to say the word 'bath' and the dog is off like a shot in the opposite direction.

That's a new one on me! I only use dry cured bacon. Bit more expensive but better than the cheap crap that's filled with water and when you cook it, horrible white gungy stuff comes away! Can't beat dry-cured! Another tip when cooking bacon (which ever way you choose), is snip the rind edge with scissors every inch or so. Just about a ¼" or so. This prevents the bacon "curling up". (An old tip from my lovely Irish Mam!) Oh, and try the slightest sprinkling of garlic salt on the bacon! Bloody lovely!

I'm a fan of food. Big fan. So much so, I'm a Jacamo shopper.

SHIN in priory place does the best Japanese food in any CV postcode. If you're a fan of ramen etc.

Korean BBQ place a couple of doors over is a bit of a let down to be honest. I was spoilt as I lived in Korea for a couple of years. They cheap out on the cuts of meat, and ever so slightly miss the mark.

Sausage Rolls up in Fargo Village is incredible, albeit a bit pricey.

I've enjoyed the digbeth dining visits to the cathedral, very good.

Falafel Corner is great if you ever had the pleasure of their hospitality and the falafels are incredible.

I roasted a joint of gammon yesterday and topped it with mustard and brown sugar

It was lovely just finished the last few slices with tiger bread and some ketchup

Best way to crisp bacon, retain its flavour and keep it flat is to cook it in the oven. Dip your bread in the fat on your baking tray if you fancy.

There's a Bulgarian deli shop in our local town. We often buy decent salo there.

Does anyone rate Pizza Express? My parents insist on keep going there, but I just find their pizzas okay and yet vastly overpriced.

Went into the one in Hove and were shown to a dirty table. We sat there for 15 minutes with staff walking by doing nothing. We eventually just walked out without anyone taking any kind of order.

Will only go if I've got a money off voucher (their special offers are constant which says a lot). I wouldn't pay the list price for it .

No but vouchers mean you always pay half price on average. It’s like take away Pizza Hut - the price is never paid.

Used vouchers today, but was still £55 for the 4 of us. No starters, no desserts, 2 for 1 offer.

Went to Pizza Hut the Friday before last, haven't been to one since I was a kid, fantastic pizza, really shows how poor quality and chemical tasting dominos are!

My daughter prefers Domino's. I much prefer Pizza Hut.

Really looking forwards to Basement Browns. Signage all up. Looks good to go. The one in Leamington has fabulous feedback and ratings.

Think it depends on the concession for pizzas. Used to really like Papa John's, but the one that delivers to me ain't up to it.

Oh right. We are Keresley, so Spon End the nearest for us. Always us to get them when I followed the Cov Bears American football team, who used to play at the Butts.

But is the bacon and eggs 1 shilling and ninepence like it was in the Woolies cafeteria?

Yeah, but unfortunately they have stopped accepting ration cards, Gaz, so you will have to pay cash.

Am I the only person in the UK that absolutely can't stand bloody pizzas? They are the most over-rated crap on the market! A round slab of tasteless floury pastry with some sort of tomato ketchup spread over and topped off with salami or similar. And then these take-away have the nerve to charge a small fortune! Rip off!
