Food

Mother of God. Dugard and Daughters in Herne Hill are stocking these.

We're in gower in the whales. About a hundred mussels in cream and white wine for a tenner. Best I've ever had. 3 squidz a pint. Apparently I was spawned somewhere around here, fact fans.

Im really missing the home in terms of getting good meat at reasonable prices, you can get cheap meat here but its most likely been pumped full of hormones and shite, scandle here about piggies been given asthma drugs coz steroids yeah, other meat is expensive and frozen for import :(

here

Where, 'murica?

Hong kong, lots of imported meat from china but the whole tracking of meat and where and how its farmed etc is not great.

Homemade hakata noodles tonight.

Here after 30 mins:

Two different tares that I'm gonna mix when they get close to being finished; one is pork short rib, trotters, shiitake mushrooms, caramelised onions and garlic, the other is roasted chicken carcasses, sake, mirin and kombu water.

So here we are after 6 hours.

Probably 2 more hours to go.

Mother of god.

Need pics of end result!

Haha, the end is in sight!

Hopefully the noodles I've bought contain an alkaline as that's what's considered best for ramen.

Eggs on the boil.

Chicken tare reducing.

Let me know how this works out. Tried a ton of ramen, including a burnt one today. It was the fucking bollocks, super intense flavour and the burnt taste really added something. Spent the day walking round Nishiki market eating stuff and then went and picked my new knife up. Just finished our kaiseki meal, so off to get smashed on Sake :)

and picked my new knife up

anyone else read 'and picked my new wife up'?

Another fucking completely over cooked Nigella recipe. She is a charlatan.

would anyone like a le cruset griddle pan for £15

one of these

bought it as a present, used it a couple of times but it's just been taking up space.

I would love it, but I'm in Oz... Is it cast iron? Not non-stick?

Bargain, nice bit of kit.

@greenhell Grab it for me, I'll pick it up in March... ;)

It's cast iron, but it's also dibsed. I'll update if it becomes available again

All cool...

I've actually just used my perfectly adequate Aldi cast iron griddle pan to cook some salmon for supper... Yum...

Mercian food. Burgers and pancakes and shit. In Aldgate at the mo. Anywhere nearby? For now rather than this eve.

Bodeans Tower Hill?

Bit late, Draft House - seething ln?

Just had a change of plans after stopped off and got a donut at spitalfields and thought we didn't want to double up on batter.

So... best Chinese within a mile?
