Food

Sorry to be so general, but any recommendations for somewhere I can pop into on my own in the London Fields/Broadway Market vicinity at about 5:30-6:30 for a quick, tasty bite to eat before I go to Institute of Light for some beers tonight?

Anatolia on Mare St for Turkish, or one of the Vietnamese restaurants on Mare St, both delicious, both cheap.

Rawduck if you fancy spending a bit more cash.

Hill & Szrok for amazing meat, probably get a seat for one, it's on Broadway market.

Thanks! Hill & Szork not doing food til a but later but I am definitely going there asap!

Parted out a chicken, and chucked it in a buttermilk* marinade.

Tomorrow - southern fried chicken.

* No buttermilk in the shop, so creme fraiche, milk & lemon juice. Also salt, pepper, gochugaru (in the absence of cayenne), garlic granules, sweet smoked paprika, oregano (fresh, as I couldn't find the dried)

Anyone who's been to one of the Eataly stores elsewhere should be pretty excited by this

I went to the NY one a fair bit when I was working in the Flat Iron building and it was pretty good for eating in and buying random stuff. Not sure whether it will be as good in the City though.

"eataly" is a terrible name.

Will go.

The one in Milan is the business - could spend hours in there.

the state of this.

Next you'll be telling me you don't have your baked beans from a measuring jug!

Looks great, I'd love to do some but gf would scoff it all within a day...

Hi Lori!

She would freely admit to the fact, that girl loves kimchi!! She introduced me to it...

Did fried chicken last week. Was good.

These got delivered yesterday. I feel a new hobby coming on.

I've got the one on the left, it's great... My father-in-law is about to give me his small charcuterie fridge, he's upgrading...

I bought this yesterday, €10... Wanted a plain steel one but it would rust in 5mins back in OzLand...

Just had the best lunch, deep fried cuttlefish to start then very young trout deep fried in oil flavoured with pig lard... Astonishingly good, seven trout per portion for €9... Burp...

Gosh that looks good.

Where exactly? In need of a holiday...

A place called Casa Presedo, no relation, in the deepest, darkest corner of the province of A Coruña... That isn't the best place for trout either, the best place, Berxa, has a freezing cold dining room according to my cousin... So we didn't go there... A la carte menu, €64 for five including wine, mineral water and coffee... Loads of places like that around here, there must be online guides... My dad's brother found this place, he knows all the out-of-the-way spots...
