Do like Wedel chocolate, it's like the Cadbury's of Poland but they have full on chocolate shops with Wedel hot chocolate, desserts etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Spicy noodles, golden veg rice, scrambled egg and a gloop of sweet chilli sauce all mixed up together. Woke me up and settled my head just right after a few beers last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterms Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Found a great little Chinese place, tiny, just enough room for us alongside the Chinese students, no website, cash only, BYOB but they only have pint glasses so our white wine looked a little misplaced. Fungus with chilli, spicy noodles, rice, fish in chilli oil, spicy green beans. We could barely finish it. £34 for the pair of us. She returned the tip, looking a little embarrassed, saying that as a Chinese restaurant it's not customary to accept tips. And it's in walking distance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Served by two pretty, if unsmiling young ladies, I bought six quid's worth of them in various flavours. Raspberry & cherry very nice but the orange ones were a cut above even mcvities ! Very moreish indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very moreish indeed. Glad you enjoyed them. We always get them on the biscuit tray from the cafe when we host customers and they usually go sharpish! So I experimented with some fusion at the weekend. I had a big pork shoulder so wanted to do slow cooked pulled pork (I have a recipe now that's the shit) but wasn't sure on what to do with it after. So I made a lasagne with the pulled pork instead of beef mince. Was amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a few to choose from Hmmm talk of Edinburgh and Italian has reminded me of walking up Leith Walk every morning to Murray House Students Union to start work hungover but having called in at Valvona and Crolla for my daily supplies to get me through ten hours of what rich Americans would call theatre (or dance - even worse) I can still smell V&C now when I think about it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leith wasn't the most salubrious part of town then, it was all warehouses, urban decay and pubs that made the one in 'Trainspotting' look appealing.

Leith Walk was an adventure every day back then and we only lived there for the month of the Festival 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know it, but sounds like it may be similar to the one on Morrison Street, whose opening hours make it popular with clubbers looking for a pie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Jager schnitzel, a really bad one im in a hotel near london bridge for the week, did a tonkatsu restaurant last night and german place tonight, neither have been that great to be honest (and both been north of £20) got a pide place lined up and maybe lobos, anyone know anywhere decent?

villa4europe Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I had the schnitzel because i spent last weekend in germany for the missus dads birthday, they live properly in the middle of nowhere about 30 mins from the luxembourg border, little village, i had mince, leek and cheese soup which was really good, some homemade wild boar sausage which was mind blowing (its hunting season, her brother shoots wild boar every saturday for the next 3 months, had wild boar bbq last time i was there, **** me it was good) and then like a pork cutlet with melted cheese sauce over the top served with spatzle, german pasta which is surprisingly very good Not sure ive said this before but i also ate some proper knoppers (not the shit dry as a bone square things they sell here, they have a bar thats the bollocks) and some ritter sport, rum and raisin and the marzipan flavour which are both good Also continued my conquering of the german bakery industry, hard to remember what most of it is called and some like rosenschneke is basically a pain au raisin, nussstriezel might be the greatest bakery product in the world ever, made a cake over there with her mom, things got weird when she poured a pint of oil in but normal apparently, i think it would be a chocolate hazelnut bundt kuchen, kaffee and kuchen mid afternoon is alive and well over there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
