Secret Lunch

My take-away lasagne and salad from Franco’s on Rivington Street. I got introduced to the place when I was working down here last spring and it hasn’t changed whatsoever. It looks like a standard glass cabineted London sandwich shop with a few tables in the back, but for a damn cheap and nice lunch (especially the big pasta dishes) I really like it. It’s fully Italian and the tiny kitchen bristles with intense but somehow well co-ordinated activity. There’s normally a queue.

Breakfast at Blue Mountain cafe, Sydenham.

It’s Friday. Has been a long week. Nobody from the place I’m working invited me to the pub, presumably because I’m being paid too much to have time out… so I’ve unilaterally upped sticks and am at Food Hall having belly pork (again).

Last time was ages back in time but only a few posts ago on here. It hasn’t changed but the portion size seems to have improved. It’s tasty, simple and definitely cheering me up.

At “Ruby” in shoreditch. I kinda hoped it would be a rice n three place but they do not exist in London. Passable pasta though :)

Triple delight of some kind. Organisationally speaking manchester’s “almost famous” is really the cheapeasy…

A very tiny pie and a very tiny salad. Hummm. At Tomtom cafe SW1 #ripoff

Picante - I hope it will actually make my skull do this…

Mimmo’s Bistro in Glasgow… You can’t beat scallops with lovely creamy loveliness and melty cheese, and oh yeah!

Another trip to “Food Hall” this time for a really very nice belly pork, rice, salad thing. Could be a bit more pork in there perhaps but it’s yummy.
