Sausage and Mash back on the menu at the Caddy Shack!

I know this is not in any way scampi or chip related, well perhaps a little bit chip related as mash and chips come from a potato. The title says it all.  Sausage and mash back on at the Caddy Shack lunchtime menu.

Do You Remember Processed Peas?

I do.
As a kid, we’d have them all the time.  Well maybe not all the time but quite frequently, e.g. we didn’t have them with every meal, but maybe every 3 out of 4.
Processed or Marrowfat peas out of a tin.  Now, I haven’t had any of these for at least 20 years and whilst [...]

Love Scampi? Love Garlic? Then you might love Scampi Kiev!

Here at Scampi Towers, we’d heard various rumours regarding “Scampi Kievs” and were unsure what to believe and were perhaps a little frightened…
Scampi…and Garlic…Together…OMG!!!  ARE YOU SERIOUS?
Was it really true that some mad crazy scientist / chef had taken the Chicken Kiev idea and mutated it into what some people were reporting as “Scampi Kievs”?
Well [...]

Scampi and curly chips served in a polystyrene box with what I think is supposed to be Tartar sauce.  Now I know Tartar sauce looks a tad [...]

Scampi and Chips…… and… BEANS!

YES! BEANS!
Let me tell you something.  I hate peas.  I wouldn’t go as far as to say that they’re evil, but by god – they’re no friend of mine.
Except mushy peas.  I quite like those, you know, with a bit of mint sauce.  But apart from that – Peas are bad.
There is no single dish [...]

Scampi and Chips – The Caddyshack, Elland. The Official Review.

Well well well.
Many weeks after I visited the Caddyshack, along with David, to check out their Scampi and Chips – here, at last, is my official review of the experience.
The experience was described briefly by David earlier.
Unfortunately, I’m not yet savvy in the skill of embelishing my posts with links etc, but i’m sure that [...]

Dominos Pizza

Not exactly Scampi or Chip related, but on Sunday night after our weekly game of golf, I decided to have a Dominos Pizza for my tea.
Not sure as to what I fancied, I thought I’d try a half and half large pizza, but then that just made the decision making twice as hard as I [...]

Hmmmmm – Heavy Scampi Numbers at the Caddy Shack, Elland

Stan and I decided to have our 1st Scampi and Chips session at the veritable Caddyshack in Elland and what a result it was.  Both of us had an extremely high Scampi count – 15 for me and initially 14 for Stan although he had a suprise coming.
Full review with pictures coming soon…
