My partner and I recently discovered Souvlaki Street, down on North Cross Road. Run by a lovely couple and serves the best Greek style wraps! Would highly recommend taking a trip down there one Saturday.


We're massive foodies, would love to hear some of your recommendations.


Thanks,


Sarah

I didn't think the joke had anything to do with the ED stall, just had to do with Greeks and the way they deal with debt. And I can tell you people, not necessarily politicians take it very seriously.

Anyway, it is just an odd day for greece and maybe I got a bit over emotional.

Looking forward to sampling the food anyway.

Can you afford it?

I agree, the wafting aroma from that stall yesterday whooshed me back to a holiday in Paros half a lifetime ago. We went on the Magic Bus so you can guess just how long ago.


Unfortunately I wasn't hungry but I'm going to make sure I'm starving next time and eat two

The souvlaki I had from Souvlaki Street wasn't like souvlaki I have had in the past in Crete.


Sadly not nearly as nice, but hey better than nothing I suppose.


I'm back to the Vietnamese van next time I'm having a North Cross Road lunch. As I've never been to Vietnam, luckily I have nothing to compare their delicious food with :))

Agree with robbin about authenticity. People often say about curry places "it's nothing like the real stuff you get in India". So what? I'm not in India, I'm in this curry house and I'm enjoying the food.


I enjoy authentic Mexican food. Doesn't mean I can't also enjoy a Tex Mex.

Each to their own Aidan, but if you refuse to eat chicken tikka masala (just about the most popular food in the UK) because it is not 'authentic' Indian, you are going to find yourself being disappointed at most Spanish tapas restaurants, not to mention most Italian, Chinese or Turkish restaurants in the UK. Most I've been to are not 'authentic' but they can still be very tasty.


I agree the prices are not bargain basement, but if you don't want to part with your 5 quid you don't have to. That said, taking account of overheads and ingredients and the fact that these people are trying to make a living, I can't see how they could sell for anything much less than that.

Well, in response to the comment "the food at Souvlaki Street is great" you said "I completely disagree" and went on to say it "is about as authentic Greek style souvlaki as chicken tikka masala is in India. On top of that it's overpriced..."


So you sort of implied both (that you don't like non-'authentic' food and that it wasn't nice)?


Anyway, I see you felt strongly enough about the subject to register on the EDF and make that your first ever post - so fair enough.

    • Gosh, calm down.. How about not getting so heated, and not eat for 24 hours with sips of water? Try it and you may, just may understand, starvation, no water. No meds at all even if you need them - hasten to add, don’t do it at all if you are medically dependent. In fact, why doesn’t ED - do this for half a day - say in Oct, when everyone has come back from enjoying their, hols, new term starting and as a community, we could all be 1.? Before, November, fireworks, etc.                    
    • Many thanks I have sent them a message  
    • Stop foreign aid spend and re-direct those funds to improve the lives of UK citizens.  People shouldn't have to rely on charities and food banks, their is enough food wasted in this country already which could be re-directed.  Let their own Govts feed them, why does the UK have to do it, how about other nations contributing.  Well if aid can't reach them, how are they supposed to be fed if as you say food parcels being dropped from planes doesn't work.  Lets sort out this country first and put UK citizens first for a change.   
    • Well that really is not Christian Spirit at all - we all live in this world and yes, totally agree that it would be wonderful to have no conflict in the world but that is not possible. Yes we have people in need of food  in this country but overall enough charities and organisation in the west to help. We are talking about thousands of people who are starving - not just going hungry - a huge difference would you not agree ? Aid can’t reach people - for whatever conflict and don’t think people dropping parcels, boxes etc from planes would be the answer either.
