Some observations and thoughts from yesterday.

Falafel with guacemole, a confused mix no?

Big fan of the hand held chickpea based snack myself.

Yes. One has to admire Johnny Levantine for looking at something as unpromising as the chick pea and managing to get so much out of it, really.

I would almost expect you to make your own?

That is not a derogatory comment or an invitation for an argument, simply that you are established as a food snob and as such these are the type of things a food snob would do. The type of thing that an ordinary person would simply dismiss as too much hassle, but ultimately where the result would be good.

I have experimented with making my own bread and, in fairness, it was a pain in the hole. I have further experimented with a breadmaker, and the results were utter shíte.

I do regularly make my own flatbreads, which is pretty simple, but I can't be ársed getting flour everywhere at lunchtime.

I am going to the curry house tonight.

I shall have one of the house special dishes I haven't had before and a chicken vindaloo. Onion rice too.

There will be no leftovers, mark my words.

Vindaloo, IUFG? Respect.

Whilst I enjoy hot food, I'm afraid that would push the bounds of reason for me. Especially considering the experience the following morning.

[Sir C]

Would the big house not contain a slice of bread at all?

Unlikely. I do have some Homepride plastic bread in the freezer. Perhaps I will have bolognese on toast.

[Burney]

It doesn't make much difference what you order though, does it? The gravy all comes from the same bucket.

The heat and consistency differ. I like the lentilly element of dhansak.

For me, a curry shop curry is about predictability. I don't want innovation or surprise, I want the curry that's in my head when I order the thing.

[SWv2]

Falafels are for self-hating vegans and socialists, surely? They are designed to suck any possible joy out of eating.

You are narrow minded and full of hate so your comments don’t surprise me.

I go to a place on Dame Street, no idea of their origin but certainly not Irish. I order a Palestinian as below but ask them to leave out the cucumber pickles as we all know they are fúcking rank. I substitute one or two of the long green chilli things that you get on kebabs but I point at them as I am unsure of what they are and don’t want to cause a social faux pas.

The Palestinian Falafel €6
Palestinian bread: Pocket full of hummus, tomato, cucumber pickles, fried aubergine, flat parsley and chilli & tahini sauce


I serve them with a packet of Tayto on the side like they do in nice cafes.

[IUFG]

To be fair I wouldn’t expect there to be from a fine upstanding chap like yourself. I expect you shall also have poppadums’ and lime pickle, chapati or roti sure why not.

There is a sense of flux around the Arsenal family today, one is reporting “left over curry” while another is speaking of falafel with guacamole. Funny thing the whole January transfer window.

There will be poppadums and possibly a peshwari naan.

falafel with guacamole is a madness

Unlikely. I do have some Homepride plastic bread in the freezer. Perhaps I will have bolognese on toast.

Plastic bread is perfect for the job imo. You want something yielding and absorbent.

Supporting Palestinians, eh? You may as well get a swastika tattooed across your face and burn down a synagogue.

Can't say I'm surprised.

Yes, but having been frozen, it must be toasted. Once bread has been frozen it requires re-cooking to take away the freezer cooties.

Do you see?
