Improvised seafood sauceHad plaice last night, and fancied something vaguely creamy and tangy to go with it.
So out came the mayonnaise (not home made though, out of a jar  but made with free range eggs needless to say), and a dollop was mixed up with some tomato purée, some white wine vinegar and some spices.
I can imagine that there will be some amongst us who desire that I be committed immediately to a burning stake for such a heinous brew, but it wasn't bad

But that's what seafood sauce in a bottle really is.  In fact by adding vinegar and spices you have rather refined it a little.

It'd probably be excellent in a grated carrot sandwich.

my dad used to make a good one with ketchup and salad cream which I still do cos none else likes it and I don't eat it often enough to buy a bottle. I just mix it up till it tastes right

Next time if you want an emergency standby sauce for fish mix up mayo, a good spoon of english mustard and loads of dried dill.

the pub here has put prawn cocktail back on the menu recently. Forgotten how nice it is! (especially with little cubes of advocado amongst the prawns)

I'm thinking of opening a 70s theme restaurant - prawn cocktail and steak and chips, a glass of Blue Nun for the lady and a pint of Watney's for the gentleman. Cheddar and cream crackers for him, Black Forest gateau for her. There will be Jamaican waiters who the diners will address as 'John' or 'Curly', and a Ford Granada driven by a man in a polyester suit and string-backed gloves as a courtesy car.

you've forgotten to add Irish Coffee in those funny tall glasses with after eight mints. And with the polyester suit goes a dinner shirt with a frilly front and bow tie

Ruffled shirts may be worn by Gentlemen diners, but the chauffeur must restrict himself to a brown tie as wide as it is long. Irish coffee I had, by some blessed mechanism of age, mercifully forgotten about. I shall apply for a special exemption so that Gentlemen may consume a Castella, Henri Winterman's, or Manikin cigar-substitute after dining. Ladies will be offered a Sobranie Cocktail cigarette in a vivid primary colour by the waiter, who by tradition may offer her a questionable glance as he lights it.

I'd come to your restaurant - but only if I can bring Gene Hunt from 'Life on Mars'

If a bird was dining with Gene Hunt, he'd decide the venue.

Why are taller, slightly overweight and sleazy men so attractive?
