Carnitas is getting made tomorrow, thanks for the recipe Chris

Srsly tho'...

Get a nice big bit of pork shoulder and cover it with a good dry BBQ rub, leave to rest for an hour or two... Preheat oven to full blast, put pork in oven, turn oven down to gas mark 1 and leave it in there overnight... Simples...

I'm about to eat some chicharrón I just pulled out of the freezer, gonna fry it up 'til crispy, chuck it in a bun and smear it with BBQ sauce... Omnomnomnomnom...

That sounds steep.

Anyone recommend good places for pre-film dinner in Dalston? I dont venture up that way much so tips appreciated.

If you're going to the Rio then buy your ticket then head to Voodoo Rays: http://dalstonsuperstore.com/features/voodoo-rays/ You get 20% off with a Rio ticket stub.

They serve awesome pizza by the slice, it's 22 inch pizza so the slices are big, they are about £3.50-£4.20 each. Two is enough to more than satisfy most normal humans.

diy bbq rub

rock salt, chilli, cumin, garlic granules, cayenne pepper, mustard and or other spices

Liquid or powdered smoke... Can you still buy that stuff? Haven't seen it for ages...

i think you can still get it

i am sure i read a recipe for a diy version where you put onions in a smoker, smoke the hell out of them and then blend the mixture, freeze in ice cube trays and have smokey flavour on hand.

Liquid smoke is easy to find in the US but never seen it here. I may have to do some hunting around. Any place central-ish that might have it but isn't Fortnum and Masons?

what about wholefoods on HSK?

sell all sorts of smoking stuff (shameless client plug)

Amazon had some. Bought a multipack so TS if you want a bottle just ask.

what about wholefoods on HSK?

Bah! I'm slow today. There's a whole foods in Soho near me. I will look anyway for the benefit of collective knowledge.

just guessing re wholefoods, the HSK branch is biggest so would hope they have some

being a septic store an' all

Being a Texas based store they'd better!.... *shakes fist

I go to Texas a couple of times a year for work and always bring back several bottles of liquid smoke. I will have a rummage for a spare bottle or two if anyone needs and can collect.

It's called a 'shop' over here. :)

Do you say "Grocery Store" or "Grocery Shop?"

The defense rests your honor.

I say '(green)grocer's'.

Next, please. :)

Went to a lovely new Mexican place last night.

It's near to Brighton station and called La Choza. Really good, simple and cheap! 2 main meals, glass of wine and a beer for just under £20.

My date had a pit smoked, pulled pork burrito and I had a slow cooked beef burrito bowl.

I noticed a while ago...

Bit hard not to...

And in other news, I bought a slow cooker...

Slow cooker has changed my life.

Best thing ever.

I've got some oxtail in the freezer in anticipation of its delivery...

Bought it in Spain, bruv! It's pulled pork belly, most of the fat renders away when they're first cooked... They were delicious BTW...
