@very-rusty saidThat's absurd, don't they realize the cow dung helped the onions and mushrooms to grow? What's next, charging for peas with a fish supper?
I have been to a restaurant where they charge you extra for mushrooms and onions when you are getting steak.

Two consecutive defeats. We'll learn a lot from the reaction against Southampton.
Mexican food restaurants in my part of the US normally automatically serve a basket of tortilla chips and salsa at the table when you first arrive, and there is no charge for that. This is usually brought to the table when they bring the menus. (However, I have seen some that will charge if you want a refill of the chips or more salsa, but not always...) But that first serving is not billed. It's just complimentary.
@mwmiller saidPubs in Liverpool used to have a pan of free scouse on the bar on occasions. Haven't seen that since the 90s and that was in a pub that is now closed down. I think you still get free Tapas in some bars in rural Spain so maybe that's how that tradition got to Mexico.

I don't do much cooking in our household, she who is most beloved is a great cook, and I'm happy in the role of kitchen assistant, but I bake all the bread. Hand - kneaded of course, I quite like doing the messy jobs, I've tried all kinds but standard production is two tin - loaves, white flour, with a generous amount of olive oil added after kneading. (That's when it gets really messy) Stick it in the tins, then when the dough's risen stick your fingers in the dough and add some more olive oil. Simple but effective and it does for everything.

that sounds exactly like my bread, substituting coconut oil for the olive oil
