chrisp65 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Lovely lunch today, more of a late cooked breakfast really, but the beans were presented in a little glass jar for absolutely no reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly saw someone from a proper city and panicked. In fact, I think I heard one of them say Cardiff Banker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never found a decent record shop in Swansea Its been a bit of a revelation for me in the last couple years since the eldest has been doing Uni there. The seafront is great, enough space never to be crowded and gorgeously windswept and raw for most of the year. Town centre is still a bit crap. I know a good few people from just down the road in P’Talbot and they’re proper loveable pisshead rogues. I saw something recently and meant to go back to it, mention of a decent record shop lurking somewhere down there. But it got lost downstream on my twitter. Need to investigate that again. Anyway, this is him... peppered avocado on toast, rosti, mushroom, grilled tomato, Glamorgan sausage ..... and a jar of beans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were clearly baffled by the ordering of beans alongside avocado on toast. You're not from round these parts, are you? Earth, I mean.

It actually worked far better than it should have, I’ll be robbing the idea, scooping up some beans on my avocado on toast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) I was a part of the 'Avocado on toast?! **** off hipster rocket polishers' brigade for years. Then I actually tried it and it was amazing. Really bloody lovely. I had it at BTP, on toasted sourdough with a poached egg, radish and chilli flakes. Honestly one of the best brunches I've ever had.

useless Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 The recent rise in popularity of avocados shows how affeffetive viral marketing can be. I think they taste like soap. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
