Food

just been to waitrose. came out rich in food, poor in cash, happy....

I like Waitrose but prices are jokes..

just be astute, its worth it,
and when you see the shite like
" a handful of breadcrumbs" for £1.50
just thank the Lord you have been given a brain enough to make them.

Not kidding, I 'made' breadcrumbs yesterday. Homemade = lish.

Thai cottage on D'Arblay st in Soho is a winner..

Is there a separate restaurant thread? I can't find one.

Any recommendations for Thai food in central / EC?

Frikken Christmas season and having to find venues for fussy eaters.

Best Thai restaurant in town is Nahm, at the Halkin Hotel, Belgravia. Very expensive though.

Just found out the sushi place behind my office on Drummond Street that I'd been ignoring is alleged to be the best sushi in London.

Sushi of Shiori, husband and wife run with only 9 seats in the place.

Food looks incredible

fuck me, forgot to mention this. went to a gig at the victoria in hackney on friday night. it's a normal slightly tired looking (i thought it was derrelict when i first walked up) pub on the corner of queensbridge road and balls pond rd. but there's a really nice room out the back for gigs, all wood panels and fairy lights and the front room is is a normal local pub with a clientelle of almost exclusively old african men. as the band i was going to see were a sort of camp, lesbian, surf-garage type thing (and fucking awesome with it btw) it made for a really interesting cultural mix. anyway, the food in this place was amazing. they were churning out amazing looking big plates of curry goat, jerk pork, beef kebabs and most impressive of all whole massive jerk fish of some kind with a huge pile of fried plantain. there were half a dozen guys sat at the bar tucking into this with their fingers. it looked amazing. got talking to this dude by the pool table who offered me various bits of his food to try... all of it fantastic. it was all crazy cheap too. will definitely be popping back for a pint and some food soon.

I went there the other weekend, it's a funny place. I saw the fish, it did look amazing.

Roasting a whole duck now. A whole bloody duck!

Roasting a duck vertically is how i do it. breast towards the flame.

Also. Dunkirk Chippy in Nottingham may have the best Thai food I've eaten in this country.
(or anywhere- since I've only eaten Thai here)

I have 2 bunnies about to go in a pot.

Dunno... Mum is gonna help me.

Given that Queensbridge Road and the Ball's Pond Road don't share a corner, I suspect that you must mean 'near the junction of Queensbridge Road and Dalston Lane'. :)

That road changes name how many times between highbury corner and hackney central? One minute it wants to be called St Paul's Road, the next minute it's all like "Now i'm called Balls Pond Road!" then you just get used to that and now you tell me it's changed again! How are simple folk supposed to keep up? Yes Oliver, Dalston Lane is what I must have meant. Pffft!

Food news: I made two (that's right puny one-mealers) chicken casseroles last night. Shared one with ladydooks for dinner and it was handsome eating alright. Half the second is currently calling me from the work kitchen fridge with it's winey, thymey, chickeny loveliness all permeating into the new potatoes keepping it company in there. Mmmmm.

anyone got any good recipes for herring? just been given a load...

What sort of herring? excellent for breakfast with a boiled egg or try making a kedgeree with it?
