Street Food

[Annette Curtain]

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 !

If the MissP ribs are as good as Bubba's was (Spitalfields back in the day if anyone remembers) I'm in.

They are stellar

He sells out well early tho.

Saw a tramp eating scraps from a bin on NorthX Rd - if only he knew how cool he was to be eating street food.

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"

Good nite !

I'm really looking forward to trying Miss P's ribs as well - they look amazing.

I wonder if one day this thread might manage more than five on-topic posts in a row.

Man not keen on non-premises based food.

[El Pibe]

riiiight, so he gets that in essence its a really good idea, he just hates people.

Nice.

[El Pibe]

Aww bless. His job description includes Live Blogging (a smug new term if there ever was one) X Factor and Strictly.

I'd be pretty misanthropic if that was my job too!!

[Otta]

Well I kind of agree. However good quality the food is, you're still flogging it from a van, and it still feels like you're buying a dirty hot dog or something. And most pop ups just look a bit shit.

[Otta]

And sorry, but there is just something painfully annoying about the whole thing.

[Ted Max]

This thread encapsulated some proper all-comers idiocy, wasn't it?

The sort of thread that makes people reading it shake their heads and have a long, long stare out the window.

Sorry for resurrecting.

[Jeremy]

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.

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
