^Very nice (plate is a letdown after last one)

^^DJ very jealous, any favorite pintxos that sticks with you

Do they have a square version?

Greeks and Cypriots are just the best at grilled octopus, end of the story.

Yet to find my go-to place for grilled octopus in London. But if you ever find yourself in Astoria in Queens I totally recommend Zenon Taverna

Pfff!!! You've clearly never eaten octopus in Spain or Portugal...

Joe, did you see that Giles Coren hatchet piece/review of some new portugese place last week?

Total clickbait obvs but the premise was that portugese is the only cuisine that can hold a candle to british in terms of awfulness.

Total bollocks but quite funny.

Greece and Portugal will be forever tied in my affections for associations with amazing grilled octopus or grilled silver bream washed down with an ice cold beer.

Damn I want to go back to Portugal now.

it's worth pointing out that giles coren's opinion on anything can safely be ignored on account of him being a coat-tail riding, vindictive, solipsistic, talent-free spoilt little shit that wants a fucking good shoe-ing from the neck up. squinty-eyed little cunt.

Any standouts for you? I was there a month ago and ate some amazing stuff. Big winners for me were the anchovies at Txepetxa and steak at Bar Nestor

Oh yeah he's a c*nt. Did strike me as next level trolling tho.

Victoria Coren otoh... I would LOVE to get shitfaced on gin with her.

I didn't... But I'm with the zebra farmer on this one, he's an odious little cunt who brings shame to the Coren name...

That website looks amazing. Did you ever eat the quail there? It looks pretty rad from their description.

How are their plates?

will check it :)

ragu tomorrow will be made out of venison and beef mince, just got to get some chicken livers, veg and we are good to go..

No pork at all?

Making space in the freezer is the main plan, and I had venison and beef mince, might buy some pork mince tomorrow depends how much it is.

I don't remember the quail, but I was there once a week, I could have had it.
Plates are very big, especially for those prices!

@RichG let me know what you think! Also Bahari Estiatorio is quite good around there! Also Taverna Kyclades is very popular, but I never tried it.

probably the same price as chicken liver..

Tahini, jam, cottage cheese. On toast. Yes.

Aubergines stuffed squids with cherry tomatoes and maroccan olives.

Sublime.

That's gonna be fucking delicious...

Thai Green Curry about to kick off in the kitchen.
Pork or Fish (cod)?

No chicken? I'd go with pork, the fish is gonna fall apart too easily once it's cooked... Unless you're very careful with it... IMHO...

I have lamb shanks and I'm gonna slow roast them. Oh yes.

Love lamb shanks. Although Jamie Oliver is a tool, he's got a great recipe for it
