Shanghai, Dalston.

on it.

Dim Sum ride!

or we ride to china.

Fuck, just remembered this

Was in Thailand last week and in one of the night markets at Trang there was an old fella selling what can only be described as humongous pork scratchings! Not quite roasted and crunchy though so still a bit chewy, cooked in a kind of sweet, honeyish 5 spice

Slabs of belly/side pork literally 2ft x 2ft but the underneath(meatside) had been scored into 1inch sq chunks so when cooked the corners went all crispy. He cut off an 8/10" sq slab for me then chopped that up into bitesize pieces - LUST!
I was walking round eating them out of the paper wrapping like fish & chips and all the Thai's were laughing and pointing at me. I later found out that you're not suppose to eat them like sweets but to be put into a pan with all the trimmings and served with rice

I ate the whole lot and needless to say I had the top 10 hits the next day

Gutted I never got a pic

Of your top ten hits?

Yep. Used to be good years ago when it first opened but they have a 'quick, hurry up and eat your food and fuck off out within an hour' policy now and it's over run with Essex geezers, twats in suits and Sharons with LV bags

True, I've been there twice and they were like different restaurants each time. The best time to go is a weekday lunch - early or late. The staff were lovely and the food was great.

Other time was a Saturday night and they were like fucking dragons! (No Chinese pun intended)

Im may spoil your fond memory by saying this but are you aware of how pigs are reared in south-east asia?

They are often actually left by/in latrines to eat human waste!

When they are not doing that, they are eating mostly rubbish.

That'll explain my guts the next day

to be fair, sounds like the typical British diet.

Dear LFGSS

Following awesome advice above on Pork Chops... I now have two lamb steaks winking at me from the corner of the fridge... I have no allergies, eat everything what should I do with them?

Yours hungry.......

Personally I like to smother my lamb in olive oil, salt, pepper, lime, and garlic, then BBQ it. Alternatively grill it. Serving options include 'Greek' salad - toms, cucumber, feta, olives, and red onion - and pitta, or boiled rice and lashings of yoghurt.

Oops just noticed that was 21 hours ago. I imagine they got eaten many hours ago.

I am about to have a Sunday roast, in your face Max Crowe.

Fuck you.

All I have is Bran Flakes with a picture of Chris Hoy on the front.

Look at that, real life in-jokes on an internet forum.

Congratulations, Piles.

Banana cake FTMFW!

oh fuck.... ordered a large sizzling mixed grill from a place called bbq xpress... i knew it was too much food... i knew it was wrong... but beer told me big fuck off take-away was essential...
i just got tummy fucked by fish tikka... dam you booze hunger, dam you.

I've never been a fan of guacamole, always thought it tasted a bit too much of nothing and looks like sludge. Well I made some last night and it was pretty damn good. Much better than the stuff you get on wetherspoons nachos (the last place I've had any. I know... food fail.) and so easy to make.

Anybody know if the pastry you get on Jamaican style patties is different to shortcrust pastry you get on pasties/pies?

I am a bit ignorant with this whole pastry dealie, I basically want to know how to make the "not shiny" spiced pastry you get on Jamaican patties.

anyone had braised short ribs with maple sauce?

it's unreal. My mouth was still watering half an hour after I'd eaten it

Is this a fictional creature?

Looks like a mix of a dog & a hedgehog.
