Pulled what mate?
Ewe must be joking.
Had a beef burger with 'jerk ox cheek' tonight at Drygate and it was bloody smashing. Had I know pulled sheep head was a thing I may have demanded that.
People would be flocking for it.
Local place makes an elk sausage sandwich that is class. Will demand the head next time.
I've eaten sheep head before. I don't believe it was pulled though.
Tried Wendy's for the first time yesterday.
Baconator with bacon cheese fries, my word was it good.
Wendy's has always weirded me the fuck out by having a little redhead girl with pigtails as its logo and mascot. In the US especially where TV commercials depict a hot babe in tight clothes with the exact same hairdo
I’m going to Slattery’s for the first time today.
Seems to have a good reputation, and it’s one of those places where apparently you have to book way in advance, but sometimes I doubt places like this are any better than a random cafe you might go cos it’s raining when you’re on a weekend away in a wanky village in the lakes.
I'm a twit
I was in a different Slatterys last night o/
Back when I was Mert I attended numerous Sluttery's.
Me, you and @Queenslander?
I'm a twit
I'm right here. And I'm mixed race. Fuck sake.
That's definitely Nemanja Matic in the middle.
I have been sufficiently placated.
They both look fucking epic.
I would smash through that then nail the chef.
I had Malakoffs the other night which is some traditional Swiss dish. Like every other Swiss food it’s just a giant melted cheese ball with breadcrumbs. So good.
I've ordered some Japanese stuff. Was going to get sushi but ended up getting one of this box things. God knows what'll arrive.
That beef looks brilliant. A thermometer makes stuff like that so much easier and more consistently successful.
I've one of them in the drawer but I've never used it as it only has a rotary dial on it and probably has a mind of it's own.
Speaking of, I got a 500g boneless rib today on offer for €3.50 and I haven't the foggiest how to cook a lump of that size. Would I be better just cutting it into 2 or 3 steaks?
EDIT: That.

Thermapen's are great.
Nah, they're worth the price.
That ribeye looks beast. You could sear it really hard in a really smoking hot pan to give it a crust and then put it in the oven but you'd probably need to use a thermometer to get it cooked right in the middle.
The bento box is a wondrous thing.
You're better than that muck, Giggs.
Steak and chips tonight.
That looks incredible, and I'm not even a huge fan of Japanese cuisine.
As for my own food, I'm off to a local Italian restaurant to celebrate the pregnancy with the in-laws. I've been there a few times and it's a bit of a mixed bag, but they get the basics right.
They're family though, so you have to put up with it.
To be fair, her dad's a pretty good laugh, as long as his wife allows him to loosen his tie a bit.
Where did you order that from Giggles? Looks quality.
That was definitely one thing I noticed in the UK - you guys haven't caught up with proper good Japanese food yet. That bento box looks OK, but I'd expect to find much better.
Congrats SvN!
You two are practically in Asia though.
The Koreans used to get bento boxes delivered in fairly regularly to the office. We'd take turns putting them in the microwave, box and all, after taking the sellofane wrapping off of course. Proper cheap and nasty, Giggles's one looks far better, but they all have one thing in common which is the tube of soy sauce of a size only otherwise seen for eyedrops and probably anti-venin for snake bites. You need tiny little fingers to be dealing with that.
I threw it out as I have my own big bottle of gluten free soy.
