If you are looking for real Spanish and Italian food and somewhere with real Tapas you can try Cavells, they just launched a new Tapas menu and it's very tasty!

They also serve Henry Martin Sparkling Shiraz which is really delicious!

I do enjoy going to Ikea for a little outing, have some food and a wonder around the vast store, perhaps purchasing a candle holder or something on the way..

I do like their furniture but I find it rather over-priced and tend to go there to get ideas rather than buy stuff, then I'll go and find what I like at a local shop.

I really love the food though, especially the great Swedish Meatballs!

I've never been anywhere where they've managed to shove quite so many chips in a little pot either..

Lovely lovely meaty balls of loveliness!

The gravy is just perfect, and the slightly hard boiled potatoes (I usually mash them up with the gravy and a little salt and pepper, heavenly!)

The Ikea Gravad Lax is very good aswell with the nice tangy sauce, my Mom said she made it once but it took about 3 days, so I don't think I'll bother..

If you're interested though, there's a BBC Recipe for Gravad Lax here.

Of course the plates get licked clean

After that I headed into the store to educate the next generation of children via the medium of soft-toy art.

I call this beautiful peice:

"Missionary with rim"

Followed by my special:

"Teddy bang"

I'm good eh?
