Presumably Gino discovered 'Nduja while rooting round Calabria while the owners were out?

Must have done.

He'll need to nip back and discover fucking spice as well. That pizza was bland AF.

Oldies but goldies

I remember years ago, I found a stack of 35mm slides in a box in one of the labs. Had quick peek to check they were nowt important to be greeted with an array of vintage 60s nudes.

Thank god we managed to find a slide projector, a screen and a dark room.

Actually better than I thought. It made my lips go numb, which might’ve helped it.

It was more the novelty factor of it was kinda fun so I felt a bit more charitable towards it. But yes.

Breaking my fast, had to get blood test, with The Big Breakfast plus a pot of tea.

Great grilled smoky bacon, spicy chorizo, poached eggs, toast, grilled tomato, mushrooms, haloumi and rabbit food garnish. No bad.

I'm on holiday in London right now. Wherever I go I always try the local cuisine. So I went for some Pie, Mash and Liquor with a side order of Jellied Eels.

I went to F Cooke, a proper old school place with white tiles on the walls and sawdust on the floor. 

The pies were alright, though not as good as a pie from most butchers or bakeries in Scotland. The eels weren't as rank as I thought they would be. Really just fish, but with a slightly tough texture.

It's English pies, they're just not very good.

Except pork pies obviously.

True. I was working in Preston a couple of years ago. The locals were raving about meat and potato pies from a local bakery. I tried them and they were shite. Horrible short crust pastry, slimy mashed potatoes and a tiny sliver of meat.

Never taken to eels, find you spend ages chewing on them.

Pie and mash however is great, was that the one in Hoxton. The Manze in Tower Bridge is very good, probably my favourite.

Yeah. It was in Hoxton. Pretty tricky to find but worth it. I'll never have it again but I'm glad that I tried it.

Just stuck a bbq dry rubbed brisket into the sous vide, where it shall remain at 68 degC until tomorrow night. 

Might be controversial, but I think sous vide meat is absolutely shite. Consistent internal cooking yes, but flavour absolutely nowhere near good enough, unless it’s been cooked prior in some other way or finished in a pan after the sous vide is finished, and even then I’d prefer it wasn’t in the sous vide at all.

Aye it needs to be pan or grill finished for sure and probably for the likes of a steak its pointless. For being able to do stuff for like 36 hours though its the only option. Likes of brisket fir example IMO its the best way
