On the 3rd of June i'm heading to westnorwoodfeast @misspsbarbecue, if only to sample MissP's beef ribs. He's a local West Norwood lad who's doing great stuff with slow cooked meats.

If you're in Hackney sometime soon, try out the wood-fired outdoor BBQ @LickyChops at the Climpsons Coffee Arch, 374 Helmsley Place. E8 3SB

Today we had some great smoked aubergine & shittake mushroom tacos at the Ambriento taco van in Kings X. Often found on Nth X road market.


Flippin Lovely !

UncleBen, the line between hipster and tramp is a blurred one, which becomes more blurry by the day.


Have a read of this article, it might put you straight on why they think street food is cool.

Don't forget, it's un-cool to eat pie n mash, unless its eaten from a garbage disposal unit at the back of the shop (adds a sense of irony)

No, that was me.


I was in my ironic hobo hipster outfit


Get with the programme UB, get out into the real world, instead of tossing yourself off to internet porn.

But then I showed him this thread and how some people call it street food. Well he stopped eating out of the bin, walked off mumbling "I'm not a pretentious pra t"

Yeah but at least they can click on 'UncleBen', see "User Deactivated", and realise that there is some sense in the world after all.


Having been to my share of pop-ups, street-food markets, supper clubs, and various similar things, I've seen both sides of the coin. Delicious food at a great price in a fun and sociable environment. And five slices of rain soaked pizza for ?30 in the arse end of East London, followed by some bearded berk playing guitar in our faces while everyone smugly congratulates themselves.

Agree

I know exactly the place you speak of


There's good and bad in all areas, whether it's street or in bricks and mortar. Went to Brockley Mkt yesterday, they've got a good balance I reckon.


And Street Feast Dalston is a good ?20 start to a night out. Yes it's cranked heavy on the Hipster ranking, but still mixed enough to be enjoyable


Personally, I think the London is better with it all than without


Mind you I did laugh at that article, I do know of Lady "Shrimp" Balfour

    • what sort of bike are you looking for - men's , ladies, size. commuter, mountain or racer etc etc. And what is your budget?
    • Is  the  decision by the High Court not to  deport an Eritrean man  to France on Wednesday anything other than a massive boost for Farage and reform. Farage has made a commitment for the UK to exit the ECHR which limits the independence of our justice system The UK Government’s “one in, one out” has failed at the first hurdle - just as the Rwanda scheme did under the Tories. To make it even more embarrassing is that the accommodation for deportees   in Rwanda paid for by the UK is now being used by the USA for its deportees. If we are to have Farage thrust upon us as a result of such judicial decisions, then God help us.
    • I recently hired Andy to paint the newly plastered walls in my front room, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the start, he offered a fair and reasonable price for the work, and his professionalism really stood out. Andy has a wealth of experience and was happy to share suggestions about colour choices and paint types, which made the decision-making process much easier. He completed the work within the agreed timescale, and I am very happy with the finish.  What impressed me most is that Andy went above and beyond what I initially asked. He not only painted the room beautifully but also helped with extra tasks such as putting up the wall bracket, curtain poles, and curtains, and even gave me a hand moving furniture between rooms. That level of support is rare and very much appreciated. If you’re looking for a painter and decorator who is reliable, trustworthy, reasonably priced, experienced, and willing to go the extra mile to help, I would highly recommend Andy.
    • John recently skimmed the walls in our front room lounge, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the result. From start to finish, he was professional, punctual, and easy to work with.   He arrived on time each day and kept me updated on progress, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. The quality of his plastering is smooth, even, and ready to paint with minimal prep. He takes real pride in his work.   John was also very tidy, laying down protective sheets and cleaning up thoroughly after the job was done. It’s clear he respects his clients’ homes, which I really appreciated.   On top of that, he’s friendly, approachable, and trustworthy someone you feel comfortable having in your home. His pricing was fair and transparent, with no unexpected costs.   Highly recommended if you're looking for a skilled and reliable plasterer. I’ll definitely be using him again for any future work.
