Bloody hell, are you some kind of masochist? Don't encourage her!

Egg Boss scotch eggs are definitely worth a try, if you're not already acquainted, - in particular the black pudding and the hot sauce varieties.


They cost ?6-?12 per egg (in real money that's ?2.50 per egg or 3 for ?6, I believe).

Someone has already recommended Tachbrook St in Pimlico but I'd second it.


As well as the "best-value-lunch-in-London-?3-falafel-wrap" there is also an excellent Turkish grill selling some fine kebabs.


The mahoosive mixed wrap (lamb and chicken, sauces and heaps of salad) costs ?6 or between ?6-?12 in Louisa money.

Is this seriously a thread about the beatification of traditonal WC food ?


Can I start a similar one about how great is was when WC lives were dominated by Scurvy/Rickets/Rackman landlordism/ being conspripted and killed in futile Colonial wars/ Asbestotis/ Industrial accidents at unregulated industrial plants/ press ganging / TB / London Smog/ Cholera / black death / Indentured domestic and agricultural slavery/ the highland clearences/ and all other other shit has has been heaped upon the proles for the past millenia?


Jellied eel is shit and only came about cos the rotten capitalist polluted rivers of the past were devoid of life and Eels were transportable and vagueley alive & fresh after a few days out of their muddy murk habitat in the provinces. Now that Eels are on their last legs, we all love them again. Except we dont, but the Third Reich Bellended Waffen gestapo crowd tell us we do.So I suppose its all right then. or maybe not. I dunno.


nazi grocers and brownshirt butchers have alot to answer for

Right I can't take this anymore. I've tried, god knows I've tried, but how much for a pizza? Please tell me it's not a fiver a slice 'bout now? What toppings?


Woodrot - eels don't have to just be jellied, they can be pan fried with some fancy sauce if needed.


I'm actually in shock right now, that cheese and marmite sarny just flew out the window.

I think you may have missed the boat on the Egg Boss - I think he's only making scotch eggs now on special occasions.

His latest venture is paleo food - various recipes that cater for those on the paleo diet.

in 25 years time, will we all be trooping along to Frankins to gorge ourselves on Domino style pizzas with a ghastly cock shaped suasage in the ring? whilst chewing down 3ltr zeppelins of white lightning and having a ?20 bag of hydroponic Viet cultivated Skunk as a desset ?


pah

titch I'm trying to be more diplomatic. And yes it's human nature to be inquisitive, trying new things etc but at what point does that cross the line into pretentious? I ate a crocodile steak at a gastropub in Putney, I didn't enjoy the experience. Does that make me pretentious?


El Pibe - jellied eels with spiced vinegar and salt are the key ingredients to make it taste differently. The eel is a very versatile dish, and the solidified jelly is no different to eating the fat surrounding a rasher of bacon.

El Pib's


I'm issuing a 'Pie Fatwa' lest we get into a Pie house/ Pie shop war of words.


In future they can be referred to as a "consumable lidded pastry holding vessels" for the purpose of this thread.

Oooo yes I know...Eels Eels Eels



The Eel


Acting on the advice of an anonymous note, Takuro Yamashita (Kōji Yakusho) returns home early one night to find his wife in bed with another man. He kills her and then turns himself in to the police. After being released from prison, he opens a barber shop. He helps save Keiko Hattori (Misa Shimizu) from a suicide attempt, after which she works at his shop. It becomes clear that Keiko has romantic affections for Takuro, but his reciprocation is directed towards his pet eel.

    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.   
    • Totally agree with you.  🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
