Hence it's inclusion in a list of 15 UK foods awaiting an EU decision as to whether it merits protected status.

I've enjoyed some great 'Balti Nights' along Ladypool Road. Truly memorable

Good luck Birmingham Balti

I was just wondering if any of you could offer a few suggestions of shops that will deliver within Cianta, Rizal area in the Philippines.

I am in the UK, and i'm looking to find a few shops that offer different types of gifts in Cianta, Rizal that i could shop online with from the UK in order to get them to make a local delivery.

Can anyone offer any suggestions?

All I have to do, is find my summer work schedule that my wife kindly moved to somewhere unimaginable, and if all is well enough, book a room at a nearby hotel and we are set. Hopefully the weather will hold.
