Life is one long bizarre acid trip. I return to London and our quirky Celtic Italian restaurant in Clerkenwell enjoys its best Wednesday in history. I am sitting here listening to Despina Vandi having just sent colourful James off to bed and am now reflecting on my new role as an Islamic spiritual mentor.

Scallions? Aha you are not Irish as is our manager Dominique - we refer to spring onions chopped into a creamy sauce with smoked salmon gently re-cooked in a garlic base. . It looks great and on this cold day it is a warming lunchtime treat. It is today's special (£9.95) all day at Real Man Pizza Company in Clerkenwell.

Introducing to you our head cook at Real Man Pizza Company, Fabio who is actually Italian - something of a novelty here. Trained as a chef in Italy, Fabio and his girlfriend moved to London for understandable economic reasons and to improve his English. The latter is work in progress. His cooking talents are not in doubt and he and manager Dominique are dreaming up an additional dish to launch on you after the Bank Holiday.
Talking of the Bank Holiday and the long weekend ahead remember, if you are wondering what to do after work tonight, that if you pitch up at Real Man after 5.30 in a group of six our extra strong Curious beer is just £3.95 a pint, we offer a quality bottle of wine at just £14 and there is free garlic bread ( with or without cheese) for your party.
Dominique, Julia and the team hope to see you later at 91-95 Clerkenwell Road.

Real Man manager Dominique has dreamt up an unusual special of the day here at Real Man Pizza and it will be available right through to closing tonight: Garlic prawns and roasted pepper linguine.
The prawns are marinated in a garlic oil and then added to a tomato sauce with grilled red peppers and the linguine is folded in. with a topping of parsley and blacked pepper it tastes as good as it looks – and is just £9.95 all day. How do I know how good it tastes? What do you think I had for lunch?
