Lads they sent me the wrong kebab. Sent me the £12 foot and a half long special. Its longer than my missus' forearm. Bask in the glory.

It was delicious and you will all regret when I delete your accounts at 4am

Could destroy one of those right now.

With my mouth I mean, not weapons.

It looks like Cthulhu's bumhole. In a good way.

Went to Berlin this week. No point posting the pictures of the city and monuments, but I will let you all see the food I ate.

Started with Currywurst from Curry61 in Hacheshemarkt, which was near where we were staying. It's delicious! Mayo in Germany is also tasty? I barely fuck with the stuff here, but this had a nice tang to it which made it real pleasant.


First afternoon we got Sandwhiches from a place called Funk You - this was pesto and mozzarella and leaves and tomato and so on, then grilled, but it was really tied together by some amazingly tomato based sauce that was super rich and delicious. Good coffee in Berlin too, I mostly had soy milk the whole time which again, tastes really good over there vs the stuff I get from stores in Glasgow.


That evening we ate in a place near the hotel - there were a lot of Vietnamese and Korean places where were staying but we went to this trashy looking place called 67 Junkfood. Was like stepping into a Safdie Brothers approximation of a restaurant.




We had chicken wings and gyoza which were as you'd expect, but then had Bao Burgers which were interesting - lots of tasy pickled veg in them, and I had pork and Ev had prawn tempura. It wasn't amazing but I enjoyed it. Also look at the buns!



We went to a place for the two remaining days for lunch called Zeit Fur Brot which did good coffee and bread. The little sandwhiches they did were good, this one had about a thumb's thickness of Salami in it and was mega tasty and filling, also the chocolate brioche - yummy. Sorry for the half eaten pic, but I tucked in before I remembered to snap it.




In the evening we got the customary Doner Kebap. These things are fucking immense, I wish we could get them in the UK. Fresh and tasty. cheap as hell, super filling. I'd eat one every day if I could. But then i'd get fat and die.



Also, customary Berliner Pilsner outside the Reichstag 


Finally we went to The Bird, which Gav recommended on twitter. USA themed burger joint that was packed to the gills and we luckily got a table at, near the kitchen. 

The menu had a nice incendiary bit on it that got people on twitter about didactic stuff about food habits angry but just made me laugh because it was funny.

We went for Chicken Strips for a starter and instead we got like... three whole chicken breasts?


Also a nice half litre of Pilsner and Ev with an Estrella


I got "Da Bird" which was the house burger - two 125g patties, onions, bacon, american cheese, pickles, and as you can see, a mountain of fries, and Ev had the Big Crack which was basically a Big Mac (no onions or bacon) The bread was indeed English muffins... and that worked out surprisingly well? We went for medium rare as recommended, and it was fucking great. All the juices, all that cheese mixing together... hnnng. Beautiful food. One of the best burgers I've ever had. Would go again.



Prost!

Loving the decor of that Pho place.

Correct.

Saw Muggins ask for vegetarian recipes on Twitter so decided to post this here, made it last night.

Preheat oven to 400°F.
Rinse and dry chickpeas.
Put on a baking sheet and in the oven, they need a total time of 30-40 mins, crispy is good.
Chop vegetables you want, I had zucchini, butternut squash and carrots. Toss with olive oil, lemon pepper and garlic salt.
Add to baking sheet, keep track of different cook times. 
I added carrots and squash after the chickpeas where in for 10 mins, after the vegetables were in for 5-10 mins I added the zucchini for the last 15-20 mins. Some char isn't the end.
Prepare some couscous, I added za'atar when I fluffed it up, sumac would also work.

Serve with pomegranate seeds and feta. I also had hummus for creaminess, but I think a yoghurt/mint sauce would have been better.

Was pretty good.

Pizza Expre...

Wait that is Woking.

This is not looking good for my dinner, guys.

I think there is a Wimpy.

I'd like a time machine so I can go back to 1970s Wimpy.

A beloved uncle took me and my bro into one (his horses probably won that weekend). Proper sit down service. May have been the first burger I ever had. I can still remember the smell of the place. Blissful.

If you want to go back further, there's always the Isle of Man.

Made some proper Mexican tonight - Pozole.

An amazing colour to it



And with the customary toppings





Recipe I used is here

Looks good Reg. I love Mexican food. I've started making batches of smokey Mexican style beans. They're great as a healthy carb/base for meals. Burritos, enchiladas, beans on toast with whatever protein you want on top (pan fried fish works great). You can mix them into chilli or just with a poached egg and avacado.
