Last night I had Lambs testicles for dinner (charcoal grill at Yidiz on Blackstock Rd). They were delicious, and I would recommend them to anyone. Full of flavour, like sweetbread.

Balls FTW

Ewww my poached egg no longer looks very appertising :~/

Just cooking a Linda McCartney chicken style roast with sage n onion stuffing...looks great on the box, but i guess we'll see :)

i took the missus for a ride on her new bike to tayabs last night. poppadums, four (meat)starters, two (veggie)mains and three different breads for less than £20. score.

love that place.

Yasar Halim on Green Lanes, the best goddamn supermarket ever,

solid gold tip ben, thank-you!! i am ever searching for more fresh/cheap places to shop in this town. i am there (as soon as i fix my bike... again)

just had the best desk-lunch: toasty, seedy rye sourdough with avocado/vegemite/lemon/pepper on one piece, and goats cheese/home-made roasted red peppers on the other. AWSOMAZING.

ummm... no... your hobnobs with peanut butter recipe was better. in fact, im eating them now!

oh, i had hobnobs and whiskey for dinner last night balki, only *sans *peanut butter because i can't handle being dissapointed by another inferior brand. four weeks and counting 'til supplies arrive from australia...

euurgh... sounds horrible. But I do want to try some.

Just come back from Yasar Halim on Green Lanes, the best goddamn supermarket ever, everything is so fresh, tasty and cheap! Just tucked into a massive vine rippened tomato (the ones that would be tatse the difference in sainsburys), eight of the fuckers cost me 26p!

The olives there a bloody good too.

Ha, I live just opposite there - couldn't agree more. SO cheap - Great olives but their onions are shit.

One for the vegans – last night I made a vegetable tagine, and it was ACE – butternut squash, courgette, onion, celery, preserved lemons, tinned tomatos, ginger, cumin seeds, bit of dried chilli, paprika, garlic, olive oil, chopped dried apricots, bit of palm sugar. Cooked till sticky and thick. Serve with cous cous mixed with with toasted pine-nuts and those sliced almonds you get, and chopped fresh coriander and mint.

I had soup.

I only ask because the monumental amount of indgredients there would undoubtedly lead to me screwing up the whole thing, and creating an unedible mess!
Honestly ;)

Fish and chips. Fish less than 1 hour from sea to plate.

depending on the fish it's sometimes better to leave it a day. cod for example if it's filleted or cut into steaks and left on a plate in the fridge will firm up and lose some moisture and have better texture/flavour than one cooked straight away.

Pollack? 6lb I'll let you know if it was better today or tomorrow. Thanks for the tip. Caught on the fly.

Mr smith is correct, certain fish need the rigamortis to settle and go before then the flavour is better

The Yasar Halim hummus is really good too. £2.15 for a 1kg :-)

nevermind.

Its past midnight.... therefore its offically breakfast time. Bacon, eggs, sausage, mushrooms fried bread. Damn, i love being noctournal.
