Absolutely love roast lamb! 😜 Roast anything really, even veg!

Our circle of friends and family is a right PITA to cater for these days! Some have always been fussy eaters, some are intolerant to some things and some just by lifestyle choice. We used to have lots of gatherings round the dining room table. These days I really can't be bothered, and it's actually quite stressful between dairy free, lactose free, no red meat, no meat of any kind, bottled water only, no s.hemisphere wine, organic wine only, nut milk, oat milk, no butter, gluten free, organic everything...and that's just the adults, don't start me on the grandchildren!
Why no southern hemisphere wine? We actually prefer it to French and Italian wines made from the same grape varieties.

Don't think it's snobbery so much, she just has it in her head that they give her problems next day so usually only drinks Spanish, Italian or French reds and organic if possible.
My favourite reds tend to come from California, Australia or S.Africa and favourite white is NZ sauvignon blanc. Mr Glanny's fave is Chilean merlot. I have always wondered if I decanted one of our reds and she didn't see the bottle could she tell the difference
