How hard was it to wash your fingers after? If they're caked in the powder then they're normally good onion rings IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're definitely a double wash minimum though, on a par with Chilli Heatwave Doritos for residual aroma. Damn .... Chilli Doritos.... Now I'm getting hungry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, no, haven't been for a few years. Just reminiscing about the past. Nana Plaza is a complex full of strip clubs and bars with scantily clad women (well, mainly women!). Its great for people watching and wasting a few hours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midfielder Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Well I've never been anyway. Plenty of scantily clad women down this way today, if we're talking guts hanging out of Lonsdale trackies that is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullring as well, which I think is strange as it always struck me as a hipster place so would be better suited to Digbeth or Jewellery Quarter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote London’s famous Cereal Killer Café, which has proved so popular in Camden and Brick Lane, has announced it is opening a branch in Birmingham. So if American cereals, Pop-Tarts and cereal cocktails sound like your kind of heaven, then you’re in for a treat http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/whats-on/food-drink-news/birmingham-getting-first-cereal-caf-12014667 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 I can kind of understand some of the overseas ones, harder to source ones, but what kind of word removed is paying £3 for a small bowl of crunchy nut cornflakes? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Agreed, must be a moron to pay. Doesn't sound as good as I thinking.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Its not somewhere I would go, but fair play to the owners. They saw a gap in the market and went for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Doesn't appeal to me either but I think it's a bit of a coup for the city, it is a bit of a hipster money to burn kind of place and they chose brum for their expansion think it will be like five guys, great on paper, glad the city has it but in reality it's expensive and nothing special 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually we lag behind Manchester or Leeds (see Gusto, Alchemist and soon to opened Gaucho and Byron Burger) when it comes to expansion cities.

A cereal restaurant? And this business model works? And doesn't expire as a novelty? It gets regular repeated custom? These hipsters will pay £3 for a bowl of cereal? Stump up your half of the cash mate, we are setting up our own hipster fleecing business, I mean cereal shop. Weekly trip to Costco and a weekly trip to the bank. Get a couple of hipsters to work the shop floor, bobs your uncle. You can line manage them though, cheaper legally in the long run. Sorry mate but you're gonna need a top knot to go with the beard, hope you're ok with that. Otherwise they'll figure us out. We can get you some skinny jeans put through as expenses though. I want in on this cereal scam. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 It's worse than that... £4.50 for a large bowl of yank cereal £0.40 for your organic milk £1.20 on 2 different toppings just to make it a bit special £1.50 for buttered toast £2.30 for hipster special green tea breakfast just cost you £9.90 but think of all those cool Facebook pics! Their profit margin must be insane, is what they're doing really any worse than selfridges charging £8 for a box of lucky charms? Selfridges at least got out of it when tesco came sniffing there is definitely a market for imported sweets, personally I think American sweets are pretty poor and their chocolate is usually garbage with peanut butter thrown in, there was a shop in Worcester though that sold 2 packs of their different pop tart flavours for £1 which I thought was reasonable and cans of proper Mountain Dew, grape Fanta (not a clue why neither or sold here ) and a&w root beer for about £1.80 which is ridiculous 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midfielder Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 You're hired. Seriously though those prices are a joke. That really sums that hipster shite up and as you said, 100% true about the Facebook pics and selfie crap. Ah well leave them be. It's like a tax, a tax on the stupid. As for American sweets, yeah some are ok. Nerds you can get fir a quid in tesco. There's an American candy store here in Cheltenham but at least half their stuff you can get anywhere else but they charge four times the price. I'm no snob but any B&M always has a range of American sweets at more reasonable prices. You mention Mountain Dew there, instantly just brought about a Pavlonian reaction, I haven't tasted that for years, well the proper one anyway. I'll think of that while I eat my boring bran flakes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midfielder Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 (edited) Can't knock them in a way, saw a niche, went for it, laugh all their way to the bank. I could be wrong and for all we know, those are stick-on beards, they fake the whole act to con their custom and the one on the left is 90% less of a bell end than what he appears to be. Three pound bloody sixty eh... Jesus Christ. Since I'm here, 'what you eatin' there then?'... tonight, I am mostly eatin' chicken fried rice, curry sauce, bbq ribs and the obligatory free prawn crackers. Guaranteed, the leftovers will be my breakfast. Some good eatin', I'm real classy, me. Edited October 14, 2016 by Midfielder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I've had chicken and potatoes. I don't think I could have had a more bland, boring meal but my stomach isn't great at the minute so a vindaloo was out of the question. I have had a pistachio magnum though, and as the kids would say, its da bomb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
