Enjoy.

I have some amazing stainless lined copper pans, Mauviel I think. Phenomenal to cook with but very expensive (even second hand eBay ones like these) and the Mrs can't lift them.

I'd love a set of those. Many years ago I passed through Villedieu-les-Poêles and fell in love with them. One day I'll go back there with a huge wodge of cash and a car with a stong suspension.

My fried tandoori chicken / smoked mackerel / special pilau rice lunch didn't taste quite dirty enough.

Added a gherkin... perfection.

Popped into Morley's this morning. No Le Creuset triple ply.

It shows how times have changed that I wasn't even a bit pissed off...

Crab.

picked up a one and a half kilo boneless leg of prok at the TB for £3. plan A is to rub some salt and pepper into the skin, blast it on a high heat for half an hour, dial it down to about 150 and cook the fucker for another hour and a half. unless anyone has any more interdasting ideas...

Poke a hole in it and fuck it. Then eat it .

My lunch today inspired a haiku.

Multigrain pasta:
mouthful of sawdust and grit
Absolutely vile

prok made as described with parspinz bornconklonx, garyvonx and some white people's braed. a fucking meax.

Somewhere to eat in Kensington? Any recommendations?

adult translation please!

Fancy? http://www.etranger.co.uk/ is nice but pricey
I quite like Wholefoods food court for variety. Not sure what is up there now as I haven't been there for ages.

wholefoods does make delicious things and is surprisingly easy to shoplift from... at least the giant one in piccaddilly circus is.

Sorry I was being vague. Not fancy, just something decent that isn't a chain. A friend is coming down from Glasgow and we're meeting up for food and drinks.

well, the tourists like a bit of http://www.churchillarmskensington.co.uk/food-and-drink
Thai there is ok, not the most amazing I've ever had, unlike how one of my friends raved about it.

call me old fashioned but i'd avoid ordering thai food in a pub in the same way as i'd avoid ordering a wedding dress in wickes.

yeah can anyone explain this thai food in a pub thing which I have not really understood. I thought it was just an English thing, like get a curry on a night out...

Enterprising Thai immigrants started taking over London pub kitchens back in the late 80s, it kind of just spread from there... Before you knew it, everyone was doing it...

The 80s were a weird time for pub grub, lots of pubs went from cooking fresh food on site every day to bringing in pre-portioned frozen meals or stopped doing food altogether... Empty kitchens, innit?

Phoenix nights was ace.

Those massive crabs on t'previous page were from the Fish stall in E. Dulwich btw. £6 each and they were phenomenal. Super fresh. Took about an hour and one bottle Duvel to pick and dress them.

Definitely going back there.
