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.

    • Since you’re clearly not experiencing what we are I’m not sure I agree with any of your points. I also asked for anyone else having a similar problem… it’s absolutely fine if you’re not but I’d appreciate less of the “go live your life”. There is no need to comment with that tone, it doesn’t provide us with any help for the matter. Nor is it polite. We’re a very kind family simply not wanting damage and don’t find the actions necessary. It’s been the same driver/delivery for a while and this never used to happen. I wouldn’t post this on the forum if it wasn’t getting so frustrating. Again, the kids and myself have kindly asked for this to stop a few times with no success. We all work hard for our living and would never want (nor are we trying) to rid someone of their livelihood. But similarly, I don’t find it fair. Please feel free to PM me if anyone has any advise or shares the same.  
    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who, by moving to your position on the right, are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand).
