Oh my god. Eating my mums Khichra for lunch. My absolute favourite thing ever. So good.
-
i'd like the Toshis!
-
Hey Lucy - I am super interested.
Could collect Sunday night? Where are you?
-
Japanese omlette sounds like a cracking idea - got any particular recipe/recommendations in mind? Salmon skin as well - presumably shallow frying in plenty of oil will work well enough too? Miso is always nice - we've been having as a starter but I guess actually having it alongside the sushi might make a nice variation in flavours... beef would be great but my other half is veggie so the attraction is the fish and veg really.... Cheers for this.
Theres a tonne of videos online - it's quite fun to make - Recipe here - http://justhungry.com/tamagoyaki

^ Tried making hand rolls? or Japanese Omlette for the side? You could also get Salmon skin and deep fry it for some more fun... Or get some simple Miso on the side? Or sear some really high quality beef and have that with the rice?
-
Served with Persian rice.
Tadik? Hands down my favourite rice dish of all time. Fucking amazing.
-
If you want controversial - 'Best Pizza' was the name of my local pie shop in NYC...
-
I have no requirements, but I want to take my girlfriend somewhere nice for dinner tonight. Nothing to Casual... Along the lines of Trullo / Quality Chop House and North East ideally - any gems?
-
You must live 5 minutes from my front door too then!
Have you been to that cafe? Amazing coffee and food, but a true haven for yummy mummies and thus pricey.
Or 10 minutes!
Yep! It's a nice little spot, but a bit too cosy to truly have a good chat to someone for me (not enough space between tables).
I do like Bodega 50 (opposite the shakespeare) for sitting outside with a pour over, though...
-
^ah! Great, 5 minutes from my front door!
-
Where can I get a decent hand grinder in either Kensington this lunch time, or somewhere around Stoke Newington tomorrow morning?
-
Thanks for the love, folks! Stodge city right there. yum!
-
This.
-
Look forward to seeing it.
I can't get a BB in my Mercian and I'm worried it's knackered. I know I can get threadless BBs but I'm wondering if it's worth taking to a shop and just getting a definite answer first.
Thoughts?
What's the issue with it? Will it just not screw in? I'm assuming you've done all the usual shit with cleaning the threads etc? This might be a weird one - it couldn't be a european frame with mercian branding could it? Might explain if youve got the wrong threading or something?

Stacked it this morning because of a shit cyclist. Powering along Binfield Road, past Stockwell bus station, I see this numpty wobbling slowly along the centre line on his hybrid. I changed my line to give him plenty of room, but just as I reach him he suddenly pulls a ninety degree turn (entirely unpredictably, because there's no road for him to turn down) and shoots across my path. I go over his front wheel (and my handlebars). While I am lying winded, he just cycles off and it's the cyclist behind me who helps me to the side of the road. Spent the morning being checked out in casualty; just bumps and minor cuts, thankfully, but my back muscles took a couple of hours to unlock.
If I ever see you again, I am likely to knock you off your bike and beat you around the head with it till you stop moving, you dangerous, cowardly cunt.
Very nearly had exactly the same thing happen to me on Roseberry Ave a few mornings ago - guy starts out on the very right hand side of the lane, slowly starts veering to the left, so I go to over take on the right and then he suddenly cuts a massive 90 degree right hand turn towards saddlers wells - I have to swerve into the opposite lane, where there is luckily no traffic to avoid him. Completely utterly oblivious!

A tub of the My Protein stuff is £5 - and 1kg! Not bad at all.... It's so oily and delicious. You can also grind your own stuff at Whole Foods in Kensington, if you're a tart.
^ Further to last nights conversation, I got the Lamb Shish at Beyti - wasn't expecting much honestly, as the bread wasn't that great - but fuck me it was so tasty - and the lamb was really fucking good - perfectly pink in the middle, tender, really delicious. Nice one Owl!!
-
Beyte on Green Lanes (in between Newington Green and Clissold Park) - their lamb shish is hands down the best quality lamb and tastiest overall package, and their lamb doner wrap is insane too....
Going to check this out! I just moved to Newington Green, stoked!
-
Tad - Mare Street. Amazing vegetarian special for very little dollar. Favourite for me has got to be FM Mangal in Camberwell though. They get serious amounts of flavour into their meats.
Word! Tad is so so good. And great value!
-
Oh shit - Best Kebab is the one near the Yucatan?
Best Kebab in North East London... GO!
My favourite is from Numara Bos Cirrik 2 nr. the Jolly Butchers in Stoke Newington - the Adana is unbelievable, massive and they serve it on great bread (which they also rest / turn the meat with, then grill, so it soaks up all the goodness and kind of caramalizes)
-
Who rides a Yellow Mercian conversion with risers around Islington on their commute?
-
I don't know how many of you saw this, but I pledged last night for one of these - a home Sousvide / Water Circulator.
I know we've all been discussing home sous viding in coolers etc - but for longer cooks I think this definitely trumps that technique - and it looks pretty cool...

-
Personally, I'd rather have a Lamacuhn!
-
where's that then? am a big fan of falafel
Kingsland Road - just after Arcola St on the East Side of the street...
-
Yeah - I mean, its one branch at the moment, but it will probably expand - i think having a burger that consistently good in multiple locations is no mean feat. I am a massive fan of Shack Burger. To me it's what a hamburger should be - salty, lots of contrasting textures - soft bun, great flavour. Each to their own though!
In other news i made Beetroot Gnocchi with Goats cheese, Pancetta and Rocket last night and it was straight delicious.
