The rules of Macho Cooking:

• 1. The best meat possible must be sourced.
• 2. THE BEST MEAT POSSIBLE MUST BE SOURCED.
• 3. Peeling and washing of vegetables should be outsourced to somebody else whenever possible.
• 4. It is acceptable to start consumption of alcohol the moment that the first onion has been chopped, disregarding time of day.
• 5. An equal ratio of wine should go into the gravy AND the cook.
• 6. Bisto is NEVER acceptable under any circumstances.
• 7. If either gravy or roast potatoes are cooked incorrectly the entire meal must be abandoned.
• 8. The first 15 minutes of all table talk must be spent enthusiastically complimenting the cook on the roast potatoes and the gravy before actual conversation may commence.
• 9. It is acceptable for desserts to be purchased (or made by your mother) but cheese must be served with port. Irish coffee can count as a dessert too.
• 10. Washing up must be done by those who have not done the cooking.
