Food

Ive decided to have a chilli party.

I'm so excited I can hardly contain myself, it takes me two-three days to properly maki chilli, and around 15 ingrediants, none of which include sweetcorn, broccoli or carrots, you bleeding English heathens.
It does include southern comfort,
espresso and fresh tomatoes.

Dear Nhatt,

We need to talk.

Thanks

Yes! Do it! I put pics n' recipe here

So I made tempura broccoli, red pepper, red onion (thanks Olly!) and marinated chicken tonight. The fizzy water worked a treat, the batter was super light and tasted amazing with a bit of sweet chilli dipping sauce. For the chicken, I marinated some meat pieces in yoghurt, which I'd spiked with chilli powder, garlic, lime juice, and pepper, then cooked them in the griddle pan.

Win! Love it :-)

Trying to find a decent, reasonably priced, Chinese far more difficult than it should be.

I live right next to Young's on Upper Street and used to pop in occasionally for take away roast pork and boiled rice with greens... until the other day i saw the chef (who's always smoking on the back step opposite my front door) blow his nose on his hand, then wipe it on his filthy apron. I won't be going back there again.

hahaha, i just googled "youngs upper street" and found this:

some things never change eh?

Oxtail stew, rice and peas. Carribean FTW.

The best Tempura I've ever had was Tumpura'd avacado.

I went to the best pizzeria ever the other day, Franco Manco, I assume everyone in Brixton's been, but I never heard of it. £5 ish a pizza and they're spot on good

Icco on Goodge St is also a very good pizzeria, in a NYC 'Little Italy' kind of way

I used to go there loads but it doesn't compare to franco's

I made my flatmate a cake for her 30th. I think it turned out rather well.

A random wander up Northfields Ave ('cos the fridge is dead) ... led us to Monty's ... our new favourite restaurant. Awesome Nepalese food washed down with Gurkha beer and a playlist of entirely AC/DC, didn't even have to request Back in Black.

Monty's Rocks \m/

the fridge is dead

Long Live the Fridge!

Look's like more of a 21st cake to me.

I'm gagging for chocolate, I need chocolate, need, need, need chocolate............. need chocolate now.

** sobs into keyboard **

Im not seeing any LFGSS Dining Club threads active at the moment.

Bodeans? Portuguese? Rodizio? KFC?

Suggestions? Im hungry. Could eat the crotch out of a low flying duck.

Georgian? Aleksi?

Dim Sum!

I've never eaten in a KFC, ever. Not sure if I could endorse eating food 'by the bucket'.... and their chips look rubbish.

I'd vote for Lebanese (though I don't know why I should vote, I've never dined knowingly with anyone from the forum....)

Awesome Lebanese cafe just off Brewer Street, down the alley by the deli.

Dig on mezze..

Where is Brewer st?

It's here: http://www.yalla-yalla.co.uk/ really good food, always full, and I mean always (that or they know I'm coming and get all their mates to fill up all the seats!

mmmm... baba ganoush

MMmm........ don't...... must stop looking at this thread, I'm so hungry am now eating cocoa powder out of the tin.....

mmmm... baba ganoush

My girlfriend made me this about three months ago. My first experience of the stuff. Frankly - fuck yeah...

My friend and I had a superb lunch at a lebanese today. Maroush V in Vere Street. It was divine.

We need to do the Georgian thing
