sausage roll, with additional 4oz chestnuts and prunes combined into the stuffing. Very good.

The dudes from Lucky Chip are now residents at the Grafton in Kentish Town -serving up their Lucky Fried Chicken. This makes what was a really good pub, into a bloody great pub.

People who have been to the Seabright Arms etc will know the quality of the lucky chip burgers - the chicken looks fucking awesome.

Was at Bukowski last night - good burger and had some great fried chicken livers but the seafood popcorn was pretty naff. Bloody great chips.

Just made an awesome mushroom curry and jeera (cumin) rice :)
PM me if you need the recipe.

What sauce do Meatmarket/mission/liquor put on their chicken wings because it was fucken rank and I never want it near my face again.

Apparently the Colonel has sen the lawyers round already..!

Anyone got a good oxtail slow cooker recipe?

I'm off to the hipster food haven that is Brixton Village tomorrow. Plan is to go to Franco Manca, but is there anywhere else worth conisdering?

Have been to Honest Burgers and was slightly underwhelmed. Every time I go there there's a new super on-trend food place. Problem is, Manca is so good that going somewhere a bit cack would be tear-jerking

Wishbone, chicken place started by the founders of MeatLiquor

Wishbone is shocking.

go to the thai place Kaosarn

Anyone got a good oxtail slow cooker recipe?

I made some today, will be noshing on it with rice & peas and plantain tomorrow...

Dredge oxtail in seasoned flour, sear it in the pan... Take meat out and set aside for a bit... Onions into pan, when they've softened and taken all the gorgeous caramelised bits from the oxtail add chopped pepper, chopped chilli and few cloves of garlic... Sweat off... Add some thyme, pimento, slosh of red wine or Guinness, up to you... Meat back in, add beef stock to just about cover contents of pan... Cook for eternity... Taste, adjust seasoning, add tinned butter beans and chopped spring onions 5mins before serving with rice and motherfucking peas...

Just eaten this, real taste or what?!? Now I need a nap...

Ermergerd, dat sauce.

That's going on my list.

That seems like a really high heat to be doing those for though. I'd be tempted to cook them overnight at 140 or so.

Went to Manca in the end, with one guy and one girl... the othe dude and i shared three pizzas.. ridiculous gluttony but SO GOOD. The quality of the meat toppings is phenomenal. The ham, ricotta and mushroom is definitely the best

Last Sunday's lamb turned into Monday's lunch in a wrap with minted yoghurt and a bit of houmus and leftovers in a shepherds pie for dinner and then again for lunch on Tuesday.

^^The pizzas there really very very good. Seven, the tapas place just opposite Franco Manca, is great as well. But be prepared to be attacked as a hipster tryhard in this thread if you dare to write about your visit there (see above)

I did them in a slow cooker, specifically the £16 one in Sainsburys. Low setting is 95c and they were in for 11 hours.

Nice. Shall need to try yours. I've always done it with tomato.
Mine is flour, sear til brown in pan, set aside, onions, carrot, tomato, garlic, pepper, salt, red wine, meat in, stock.

I just tried this salting method to try soften up some beef shin. Failed massively lol. Just ended up with immenseley salt infused meat and it wouldnt wash off.

Not sure that shin was the right choice. You need something with more meat and not so much connective tissue. Did you use sea salt or table salt? Big difference between the two.

Tried chocolate fondant for the first time yesterday. Total fail. Ha. Turned into a hot chocolate cake.
