the best Chinese Buffet ever (and it's not in Chinatown).

I'm proud that Rapunzel & I have somehow found the willpower to pass on Chinese Buffets; to quote Malcolm in the Middle, we used to take all you eat as a personal challenge. Best in our experience was Buffet @ Preston (in - er - Preston) from which you didn't get the MSG Hangover, though one of my chief delights is quenching an MSG thirst with ice-cold Stella. The last buffet we frequented with any sort of regularity was Uncle Joes's in Lancaster which is half Chinese and half western with delicious battered fish, pizza, lamb roast, Yorkshire puddings and trifles etc. etc. Amazing food, better the dried up crap they served up in Big Luke's in the Metro Centre. That said, we're quite fond of Harvester's these days, with the free all-you-can-eat salad bar extension to the main menu. For the duration of the season though we're more than content with the Xmas Dinner Leftovers Subway, a 6" of which can do me for most of the day.

Old style Action Men, eh? As a kid we used to fill them with tomato sauce, seal up the joints to prevent leakage then shoot them to bits with 2.2 air rifles. Ah, the innocent days of childhood!
