Sharing a meal is a great way to get to know people, and sharing a meal without the constraints of arguing over the bill, worrying about the bar tab or feeling that you have to enrol your 'polite restaurant' etiquette is even better. Having just lost my Supper Club virginity I feel it is only fair (and possibly my morale duty) to spread the word to as many people as will listen, that if you want to go out and eat, meet new people, dine like a family and have a thoroughly great time then you need look no further than an Edible Experience.

Whilst millions of Brits claim to be foodies, in reality many people struggle with the pronunciation of exotic dishes and delicacies. A poll by GLORIOUS! Foods found many common food faux pas, which include the mispronunciation of the Greek dip 'Tzatziki' and the Italian ham 'prosciutto'. Likewise, the silent 'G' in the dish 'Gnocchi' can cause some embarrassment, while many struggle to say ‘nicoise’ correctly.

Beer is the most popular alcoholic beverage and the third most popular drink in the world overall, with cider also extremely popular worldwide. Ales Beers and Ciders (A.B.C.) aren't just popular, they're also fun but with so much to choose from, they are also really confusing!
