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.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
