As I was cooking some snags ('bangers' for the uninitiated ) this evening on our gas powered barbie (we also have a Webber, briquet powered, which allows me onto this thread), I was reminded of 63/64 when the mighty Canberra ruled the Near East skies and 32 Squadron was not engaged in taking VIPs on their tax payer funded jollies as it is now, but in taking hard working aircrew on theirs, with the occasional thought of hanging a bomb or rocket on to do the business, which thankfully we were never required to do for real, and how Niazi managed to produce the best meals ever from a shack on a street corner in Limassol, with tables accross the steet in a petrol station forecourt, without the aid of a Webber, gas or charcoal fired. Lots of courses, as much Kokkinelli as one could drink, all for 12/-. Keo beer extra.
I have been trying to reproduce his standard ever since, can't. But not bad with a good Mudgee red and a bottle or two of Coopers Sparkling!
