Well, the last one seems like it should be served with a side of anti-biotics.
I'm going with the soup. Best price, least mystery, although the crust on the roll worries me. (I actually am not concerned by the spotted dick, frequent visitor to the UK that I am, but I have no idea on the west country faggots.) Maybe best to ask if they have a chicken tikka masala.
Hell, I'm more afraid of choking on that ever present inclusive VAT. Heh.

They're pork and sage meatballs, Greg, and not too bad to eat!

Everybody, I like the second item on the menu...IF they are called meatballs and NOT the "f" word...!!!
