Through a combination of happy chance and large quantities of alcohol, I
found myself in Watford on Saturday morning and, feeling peckish and
slightly the worse for wear, I decided to go back to the Watford Cafe,
my fave greasy spoon ever.
Well, things have changed ... moving with the times, the battered radio
has been replaced by a flat screen showing MTV Hits, the menu on the
wall is now a "proper", plastic type one similar to most fast food
joints (not something I ever like the look of), rather than hand-written
cardboard ...
... but I'm pleased to say the food was as excellent as ever it was.
They're still using the same bacon supplier, so none of that wishy-
washy, thin crap, oh no - it's still the same thick, flavourful stuff it
always was, the eggs are still excellently cooked (not overcooked),
rich, orange-yolked beauties.
I've always thought their saussies were the weakest link in their chain
- not bad per se, just not as good as the rest, and that hasn't changed;
still, mustn't grumble.

heh.
You just give me the word and we'll do it again :) I'm even thinking of
organising a bike run that starts or finishes there.

Popped in there again yesterday morning ... they've taken to putting
some carrot in the bubble, which I really don't like ... I'm tempted to
write an anonymous letter :)

surely, with your gastronomic reputation, an unanonymous letter would
carry more weight?

he could just say, 'who put the fucking carrot in the bubble' and 'and
are you fucking mad' and maybe they'll think it's from Ramsay.

Sadly, I have no gastronomic reputation, and I love the place so much
that standing up and getting shouty about it wouldn't work for me, so I
think I might try a letter instead.
