    I know but like I said in the other thread, it wasn't me driving the food choices.

    I'm off to the Gingerman tonight for their tasting menu.

    Think the chef guy might have been on pro masterchef at some point. Had good reviews of their sister place The Flint House but thought it was a bit wank when I went so hoping for better from the flagship establishment.

    Menu looks nice.

    Went to Restaurant22 in Cambridge with friends the other week and it was really good. Photos are a bit crap and not worth uploading unfortunately.

    I think we're going to try and do The Fat Duck this year, rather than Ynyshir.

    It was good.

    More of an eating menu than a tasting one, which was thumbs up from me. Didn't see anyone taking photos either. More thumbs up.

    I would posit there is something of a difference between being driven to sit in a chair for a couple of hours vs driving yourself over an hour each way to spend 13 hours running round a hospital.

    We went to Aldi for our weekly shop today, off the back of one of my wifes friends saying how much better the food is than Asda/Tesco/wherever.

    So tonight we had a "crunchy nacho Fajita kit" and it was less seasoned than the box DS' chips came in. Absolute shite. An affront to Pepe's ancestors.

    It could be a long week.

    No seasoning required due to dipping

    The fresh produce is dreadful as well. You’ve got to eat all that fruit and veg in a couple of days before it turns. There’s a reason it’s cheaper, although not by that much these days.

    Coincidentally I've just been to Aldi and the produce is absolutely brilliant as well as dirt cheap. Probably better in Germany because of Brexit.

    The only supermarket in Britain that I've been to that wasn't complete shite was Booths. We just have really low standards. Then again, I think Germany might have even lower ones based purely on my 6 odd trips there over the years.

    We don't have Aldi here (it's annoying because they have it down south) but Lidl is good.

    I know they're probably good but I can't get past what Swiss Aldi was, which was literally a random assortment of plastic palletes on the floor. It felt proper 3rd world.

    They all cut their ranges / probably took capital out of their supply chain at the start of the pandemic and haven't seen fit to expand it again since. Pretty much doubled their profits and have started to fiddle the books to make operating profits appear less than they actually are (offsetting other assets like buildings etc).

    The thing you need to get used to here is the dominance of Schwein over every other meat resulting in chicken being pretty expensive. Also they don't do bran flakes at all but every kind of museli you can think of. The fruit and vegetables are another level compared to the UK, we get absolute shit.

    Made a chicken and vegetable stew last night but forgot to put it in the fridge before I went to bed.

    The two bowls I had for dinner today were nice but if I die tomorrow you all know the cause of death.

    Profiteroles, demerara craquelin, with orange and malt cream filling, chocolate and grand marnier sauce.
