    To be honest I've never been to anywhere which I think would be classed as a "fancy" sushi restaurant. You can definitely tell the difference between decent/good sushi and supermarket crap.

    Sushi was far from disastrous but I can definitely see why it takes a million years to become a respected sushi chef. It is quite tricky.

    Reading Luca's post, my assumptions are that Pujol is a platinum-selling salsa artist, and Quintonil and Contramar are both very expensive legal highs.

    Best tacos in the entire planet, or at least they were until about five years ago, which is the last time I had the chance to go. You want the carnitas (falda con cuerito being my personal choice) and, surprisingly, the chicken tacos, to which you can add all kinds of toppings.

    As for non-touristic stuff, just stick to the touristic stuff. Is not nearly as bad as other cities in terms of number of tourists. The Anthropology museum is ace, as is Teotihuacan obviously. Coyoacan is nice for mooching about / having a beer. If you want coffee and a donut while there, El Jarocho is a classic. Diego Rivera's murals are worth checking imo. Frida Kahlo's museum, on the other hand, is overrated as fuck. The nice bars are in La Condesa. San Angel is nice too (San Angel Inn is a nice restaurant). No idea about clubs.

    You can also scout Arroyo, which is one of the favorites for the next TTH meet.

    I have an actifry and my takeaways are
    1. Use cheap baking potatoes, rather than fancy small potatoes
    2. Cut them pretty thin
    3. 27 minutes or so
    4. Good quality salt helps

    I’ve tried using paprika and all sorts on them, and I’ve also tried sweet potato but I prefer normal potato fries. I also leave the skin on.

    Takes a bit of try and find out as you can imagine.

    You need to get the starch out of the potato. Soak them for an hour regularly changing water, or rinse continuously in a colander for 15 mins.

    Par boiling them would be a good move too.

    Disclaimer: I don't actually do any of this because I can't be arsed, but it's the secret to quality roast potatoes, so I imagine it will carry over well.

    ^^ this. Soaking for as long as possible and changing the water several times makes a real difference, as does blanching them for a minute or so. Even better, whack them in the fridge for a few hours after blanching to dry them out even more. After that, minimal amount of oil, plenty of salt > introduce to heat. Can’t go wrong. Been making my own parmentier-style potatoes like this for months now and they always come out crispy and fluffy.

    We talking about the air fry setting rather than ‘max crisp’ and whatever else there is? 200 degrees? How long? And shake breaks?

    I missed the bachelor party bit. A quick search has made me realize that all of the places I knew have closed down. Brings a tear to my eye. I've been gone for too long. Anyway, I have asked my contacts and will report back with my findings.

    I get these places aren't for everyone (and particularly most people are not interested in spending the money they cost on food), but that is mental. You wouldn't want to eat lamb and a sauce?

    I hadn’t even factored in that it was expensive. How expensive are we even talking here?

    It just doesn’t look appetising (to me).

    (Lamb isn’t my favourite meat, hit or miss).

    It was £225 a head.

    Extra £135 if he went for wine.

    I really don't earn that much (about £45k a year including locums). Really good restaurants every now and again is just what I like to spend it on. I don't spend much on really anything else.

    Honestly I think that improves it in my head. I absolutely wouldn’t, but I appreciate the passion and interest. Bet it was a cracking experience for you.

    Are you even based down that way, or was it a journey too?

    To add some flavour to the discussion - do you have a bucket list of posh restaurants across the country you’re working through?

    Well, apart from the knives and the pepper grinders.

    And some sort of boy racer wagon.
