Ginger Pig ultimate pork pie - combo of pork meat, black pudding and caramelised onions.

Much expectation, so dissapoint

I'll pop down to the ginger pig in Lower Marsh now and have a looksee. I may* return with some flesh of my own.

Someone told me an awesome trick yesterday for thin crispy pizza - use a tortilla wrap as the base - it takes 2 minutes to make and was pretty good!

Classic tortilla
Tuna Carpaccio
Briased Iberico cheeks

Goose FTW...

Went to Hoi Polloi for my birthday meal on Monday, it's the restaurant in Ace Hotel on Shoreditch High Street.

The food is great, and they serve Ting as one of their soft drinks.

Turnip and Horseradish soup is not something I've heard of before but it's delicious.

Briased Iberico cheeks
Tell me more.

I lobbied for goose last year, lost, and received this card from my wife on Christmas day:

You need to spend more money on the lobbying this year then.

Im sure this has been asked before and its a case of UTFS but, any favourite brisket recipes?

Drings Butchers in Greenwich also does them. Also not cheap though

For British style rolled brisket I would go a browning then carrots, onions and other root veg, thyme and bay in a big pot. Half (or all) of a bottle of wine. Stock if it's not wet enough then in a medium oven for 3-4 hours without peaking.
