Charles Gray plays the gourmet in search of the most unusual tastes.
Oh remember this one from the 80s. He got the ultimate meal.Dunno if we've had this before -
Gray has a tip-off about the ultimate treat: a fried ghost.
Yup, Gray played lots of juicy roles including Mycroft Holmes in both a film and the Jeremy Brett TV series.Oh remember this one from the 80s. He got the ultimate meal. I think he also got a cameo in a Pet Shop Boys music video after that.
I mistook Charles Gray for another "classic" actor regarding the Pet Shop Boys music video. It was Joss Ackland who was in the music video.Yup, Gray played lots of juicy roles including Mycroft Holmes in both a film and the Jeremy Brett TV series.![]()

Mmmmm... giant woodlouse...Suddenly not feeling very hungry

A Taipei-based restaurant has been getting a lot of attention for its newest addition to the menu- a ramen dish topped with a steamed 14-legged isopod that looks like something out of an Alien movie.
The Ramen Boy restaurant recently took to Facebook to announce its latest dish, a bowl of ramen featuring a generous helping of giant isopod (Bathynomus giganteus), which it describes as a “dream ingredient”. Called “Giant isopod with creamy chicken broth ramen”, the dish consists of a large bowl of ramen and a large isopod steamed in its own shell. To prepare the deep-sea crustacean, the cooks remove the stomach viscera, keeping the creamy glands for consumption, and steam it. The white meat is said to taste like lobster and crab, while the yellow glands are “unexpectedly sweet”.

I saw that the other day. The staff are creatively rude too.There's a restaurant in Las Vegas that intentionally serves food that's bad for your health. To eat there, you're made to wear a hospital gown and the servers are dressed up as hospital staff ..
It's a trend I hope continues Mytho. I'm not anti all customers, It's that I can tell it's just a reaction rocking against the 'I'M ON TRIPADVISOR!!!!!!!!!!!!' twats.......... The staff are creatively rude too.

https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/f...e/news-story/0dda93363ea02b36b24930af836b1716A chain restaurant, where the staff act rude towards their customers, is closing three locations in three different states.
Karen’s Diner is an American-style eatery where the staff, according to their social media pages, “pride ourselves on having the worst service in the world.”
But the gimmick hasn’t paid off at their “pop-up” stores in Perth, Melbourne, and the Gold Coast — they closed their doors this week, leaving only one store in Adelaide, one in Brisbane, and two in Sydney.
Australia's got a worldwide reputation for actual 'Karens' .. that's probably the reason. The chain's joke hit to close to home for them.?Bad news here Down Under...
Chain diner known for ‘rude’ staff closes three locations nationwide
The American-style diner, whose gimmick is staff being intentionally rude to customers, is closing three of its restaurants.

100%. The Karen's concept is a statement about restaurant staff getting abused turned into performance art. They're actors being rude on purpose, a statement about rude customers. I've posted this clip before but anyway .. when you get a Karen as a customer ..From what I saw on t.v, the customers couldn't take the heat, taking the abuse flung their way a little too personally, but then, isn't that the point? Don't go to such places if you have thin skin and your pride gets hurt easily.
That seems to be exactly what punters are doing..From what I saw on t.v, the customers couldn't take the heat, taking the abuse flung their way a little too personally, but then, isn't that the point? Don't go to such places if you have thin skin and your pride gets hurt easily.
I get why they exist but no I wouldn't go to one. Ironically, the 'Karen's' restaurant chef takes the food preparation seriously so the food's very good I've been told with a 5 out of 5 EHO score. I hope the 'Karen's' chain and other similar ones know not to have a licence to also serve alcohol because that would be an absolute recipe for disaster if and when a drunk customer forgets the waiting staff are actors so then gets abusive towards the deliberately abusive staff.That seems to be exactly what punters are doing..
A single restaurant with rude/brusque staff could possibly get away with it & become a novelty attraction but a whole chain of them smacks of corporate nonsense.
When you go out for dinner do you really want abuse & ’the worst service in the world'? I reckon that could get tiresome quite quickly.

Been in there! Went there years ago, when I worked in London.In London we have Wong Kei, a large Chinese restaurant in Chinatown.
The London Evening Standard used to give it the award for the rudest waiters.
Whoa. Where can I get that? It sounds magical.A world away from "Pan fried corn fed extra tender wildebeest alongside grilled gold infused Ecuadorian potatoes, parsnips grown in the garden of the house where the Duke of Northumberland sang a madrigal in years yonder, all set in a reduction of dangleberries and topped with shavings of dry skin from a wildcat's paw."
The Wong Kai was apparently legendary for it's service.In London we have Wong Kei, a large Chinese restaurant in Chinatown.

There was also Gabi's, a delicatessen in Charing Cross Road, opposite Leicester Square station.
It got mentions too.
I went in there a couple of times in the 1990's, was run by a middle aged Israeli.
He wasn't rude at all.
Just very strait forward in the way that tough generation of Kibbutzniks could be. ( @Floyd1 will know what I mean.)
You ordered.
He made humus/falafel/salad in pitta bread.
You paid.
You ate.

How about Fan Nee Claddock?real speakers of the language
Very creative and perhaps insulting to the Italians, like spaghetti isn't good enough?
