there used to be a great portuguese fish monger past the 3 lions Cafe on South Lambeth Rd, they used to have it in there, echo TS dont know if it there any more

It's not there anymore. The arches work has all started.

Why did you leave us Joe? It all went to shit when you left.

Although the local increase in stretchy jogging pants is a plus.

I bet you look terrific in them... Teamed up with your MJ jacket? 😂😘

It's a look. My look. Look at me. Go on. Look.

And also @Rich_G

Cheers guys, I forgot to mention preferably north..
I know little Portugal area (Stockwell/Vauxall/Pimlico) has plenty of options, but it's rather out of my way..

What about this place?

Any Portuguese place worth its, er, salt will stock it... 😊

Had a real hankering for blue cheese on Saturday and plenty of leeks in the fridge. Whipped up a dolcelatte sauce w/ leeks, cavolo nero and spinach, folded it through bucatini and topped it with chicken breast. Slice o' lemon on the side. Boom.

ah yes i rember that one used yo live down the road from it a very long time ago, they used to have great sausages in there.

@dancing james + anyone else who had an input...

Fancy smoking brisket this weekend.

1. Good place (centrally or SE if possible) to pick up a nice cut - probably just half - flat or point end?
   
2. Smoking tips? Should i just rub and leave until ~86 degrees or foil wrap at some point?
   
   

Please and thank you.

Butcher in Dulwich is good.
I would perhaps consider foil wrapping after a couple of hours to avoid meat stall /shudders/
But I've done good ones without. Just don;t rush it.

you could try dugard and daughter in herne hill, or william rose in dulwich, best to give them both a ring to see if they have it. Dugard had some brisket in on sunday, as I went looking for new cuts of meat to cook..

Bacalhau sorted, now looking for squid ink packets, where in London?

Note: Ferreira Delicatessen is a good little shop with a lot of imported things, including a good wine selection. Only downside is once you step into the store they try to sell you the whole store.

They used to sell squid ink packets at the fishmonger at Borough market. However they were about 3 years out of date.

Having moved to Amsterdam i was very pleased to find them in the supermarket

Darn! Can you send some over before Friday?

unfortunately not, as i`m in the UK until Friday

my cat is called squid ink.

trustory

Cool name for a cat!

Can I cook your cat?

can i shit in your slippers?

be really careful, what british butchers call brisket is very different from the americans

often a british brisket is various bits of meat tied up together, not the one big lump the yanks get. if your butcher does not understand what you mean by an american style brisket, just walk away.

I might just go to Turner & George...

If you can get packer cut then have a look at the brisket stuff on the amazing ribs website.

I'm doing a brisket smoking course later this year. Much excite.

Oh. And smoke it in anything other than mesquite and it will be travesty.

Mesquite natch.

Thinking of just picking up the point as it's easier to get tender and i don't need a whole cut.

Now for rub / bark decisions.

Is it though?

I only have a Mesquite blend at the moment... buy in some 100% mesquite? or use the blend?

Chips or pellets? I would go full mesquite but that is my nostalgic side talking. I remember not even being able to buy it here. #darktimes
