I had some fantastic n'djua mini scotch quails eggs at brawn on columbia road

Yes it does GH. Pig guts, head, fat and spices. Its like crossing the streams man.

It is nothing like crossing the streams, it is heady mix of the flavourful bits of piggy. The piggy is honoured by nothing being wasted.

guts?

out. it's not 1945 anymore.

Try suffed pigs trotters with extra osso bucco.

Even things like tripe. Or black or white pudding.

Sorry man, it's not for me.
I'm no food snob; I enjoy refined cane sugars as much as I enjoy a steak but I have to turn down poutine.
Three separate occasions I've given it a go, and I can't get on with it. Chips are inoffensive of course but gravy and cheese curds just don't do it for me. I'm sure it'll be a success though.

Wonder where they get the curd cheese from? That was the issue I found when trying to make it.

Cheesy chips?

Never had it myself, just be told it is amazing by the cannucks.

Nah, cheesy chips cheapens it. It's more than that. It's revered highly. In some places it's just fast food, in others it's the finest cuisine. Poutine places are as prevalent in Montreal as kebab shops are in London. They are very proud of their poutine.

As a lot younger man on a trip to Northern France, Arras (on a war graves trip) in particular. I ordered the "local white sausage", immediately noticing the waiter raising an eyebrow. Still not schooled in cuisine, was slightly taken aback when this anaemic boiled thing arrived on the plate. The waiter looked me straight in the eye as the plate was placed in front of me.

You could almost see him sniggering as he walked away and the "aroma" wafted from the plate. Not one to shirk from the challenge it was all eaten, not chewed, that would have impossible with the strength of some of the "meat".

My first introduction to Andouillett. Travelling now I still take the oppurtunity to try the local foods.

Absolutely not possible to back down. Similar thing happened to me when I ordered beef carpaccio as a cocky youth. It didn't look pleasant when it arrived but it was fucking lush.

It seems wasteful to me to travel and not try the local cuisines... If it tastes shit, just order something else!

Anyone eaten at Ping Pong? I know it's a chain but I've got serious steamed dump cravings

Foffa food thread >?>?>?>?>

please don't go to ping pong. it's the cafe rouge of chinese food. where abouts are you?

ignore the chain snobbery ping pong is totally decent, better than that crappy dim sum place everyone used to rave about in dalston

please don't go to ping pong. it's the cafe rouge of chinese food. where abouts are you?

In yr mums house

LOL jokes, I can be anywhere, I got an Oyster

I mean I KNOW obviously that there's going to be somewhere better/amazing in Chinatown but I can't be arsed with that

what.... just, what?! aye ya...

Poutine in London? Paging horatio.....

the lady that sells steamed dumplings on gerrard street in chinese peoples town are top notch. Try the pork and cabbage - mrs hell rates them so you can't go wrong. for sweet, sticky prok buns, just plonk your arse down in any number of the more reputable dim sum places that arent fecking ping pong and stuff your face. Dragon Castle in E&C is the gold fucking standard for such places. try the fried dough cheung fun for extra heart stopping deliciousness.

do it!

Keep meaning to go to Hong Kong City which is a big place on Old Kent Road

All dim sum in the UK comes from the same factory though, I thought?

there's a DS place on lisle street where you can see the chefs making the dumplings by hand through the window.
