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

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
