Don't judge me I'd had a bad day 😂

Mozzarella sticks, onion rings, cream cheese jalapeno nuggets and various forms of chicken, sweet chilli dip came with the jalapenos.

Washed down with a nice glass of wine.

Edit, there was a variety of sauces not pictured because i was hungry

Bittermelons cooked with oil, onions, dried baby shrimps, green chillies, salt & pepper

I’ve wanted to make polenta for a while so made this inspired by northern Italy.

The polenta took a little trial and error. I reckon it was about 5:1 water to corn to keep a nice flowing texture. Lots of cheese and butter added.

The braising liquid was reduced quite heavily.

Overall pretty good, if a little messy.

The colour really brings out the texture of the plate.

Cheddar, Double Gloucestershire & Shropshire Blue Cheese, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Sprouts & Petit Pois & Sweetcorn Potato Bake

Roast pork. This came out of the airfryer because my oven is on the fritz

- Chicken sweetcorn soup
- Hong shao rou (red braised pork belly)
- Sticky toffee pudding

\Disclaimer: I’m not claiming any link between China and sticky toffee pudding, I just wanted to make sticky toffee pudding*

Hi everyone! 😊

I’m planning to visit the UK for two weeks, and one thing I’m really looking forward to is trying British food!
I’d love to know what you’d recommend to someone visiting from Egypt for the first time. Not just the famous touristy stuff, but the dishes, snacks, desserts, and little local favourites that you genuinely love.
Should I try a proper Sunday roast, fish and chips, a full English breakfast, a traditional pie, or something completely different?
Also, are there any regional specialities or underrated places that serve amazing traditional British food?
Basically, if you had two weeks to introduce someone to the best of British food, what would be on your must-try list?
I’d love to hear your recommendations! And if there’s a food you think is overrated, feel free to tell me that too 😂

And Where can i found it in London

Thanks! 🇬🇧❤️🇪🇬

Currently sitting at the Shakespeare and they served up two piping hot mini pies with gravy; steak/ale, AND chicken/leek.

It's exactly what I want with a pint, and worth a visit.

Last time I visited Cambridge, there was a pub that did hot scotch eggs too.

Perfection with a pint!

Anyone else loving this?

Back on the meatball creation now I have a little time. These are my Friday Night Meatballs; standard meatballs in tomato sauce, but with a little bit of luxury.

The meatballs are beef, blitzed onion and garlic, fried off, thyme leaves, breadcrumbs and blitzed sundried tomatoes to add some richness.

Sauce is a simple tomato; fried onions, 2 tins of plum tomatoes, red wine, sugar and a splash of red wine vinegar, reduced down to intensify flavour.

Served on linguine, with a spinkle of fresh basil. My boys insisted on parmesan too.

The sun-dried tomatoes in the meatballs make them deliciously moist. For me, this is definitely a Friday night treat. Glass of red wine essential.
