FOOD THREAD VOL. GRUB LIFE

[B Sox]

Need some London recs. Just booked our trip for the Ravens/Titans game at new Tottenham stadium. Gonna hit the England/Australia friendly at Wembley. Might see Ricky Gervais at London Palladium.

Not sure where to start for food though. Gonna be staying by Buckingham Palace, but willing to go wherever.

I’m going at the end of the summer, the only place I know by name I want to check out is Dishoom.. supposed to be really good Indian food. Other than that I just know I want to eat:
Indian
Caribbean
Jollof
Turkish

So I’m looking for recs as well

My traditional run to the international market with my girls for bugs and gator jerky.

I’ve only had gator jerky once but it tasted like an IROC-Z peeled out on my tongue.

I've never had Thai or Indian.

I think I'm scared.

I keep hearing it smells bad so I go no where near it.

Yo why do women peel with a knife upward. Always looked unsafe to me. Cutting motion should be away from the body not towards it.

You learn to appreciate the funk with Asian food.

Eventually you need it.

There's about 5 of us. We try to make Friday evenings family/dinner time & go out try different spots. Thank you.

Keep those routines up man. They definitely matter.

When using using peeler, I tend to have more control cutting towards my body.

Dont eat it, just peel it, cut it into small chunks and chew on it. You can squeeze it to get the juice out too.

first time in NY as an adult my boy immediately took me here.. it was late at night and this man had me on a train for an hour, just to get halal guys. i had no clue why he was so intent on going. growing up as non-Muslims, we never got put onto halal food but the entire time he kept saying, "Mo trust me, we aint got it like this in the Bay."

when i popped the lid off, shoooot, NWTS. i understood the reason for the journey couldn't believe there was this much food for < $7. i learned my lesson though -easy on the red sauce. first degree burns going in, 3rd degree burns going out.

It's a must for anyone visiting especially first timers...your boy set you up right. They are the pioneers for halal carts in NYC. They put halal food on the map without a doubt & it blew up in every city pretty much in the US.

The journey & 1 hour train ride was worth it wasn't it, lol. Word back then it was less than $7 & even I would struggle trying to finish the platter. Yes, go very easy on the red sauce, lol. All you need is 2 drops & you're good. on the 3rd degree burns going out .

They stopped doing lamb for like 2 years now. Now the protein choices are beef or chicken. Beef cost more than lamb so maybe lamb didn't make sense financially for them due to it not selling as much as they'd like. Either way still them & they're still the halal food in NYC.

Really good. They make them to order and it’s not overly sweet itself but has caremalized sugar on the edges and is served with syrup and jam so it works well and has a sweet and somewhat savory thing going. It’s an airy and fluffy donut that they use too which doesn’t make it super filling either.

Not usually a big ice cream person, but the mood came over me to order some pints:

I am an ice cream FIEND but I only have it Sundays and usually will order some non traditional pints every week but have never seen these. Going to check it out next time I order groceries. Thanks for sharing


Another good brand for the Ice Cream lovers out there is Van Leeuwen. Started as a scoop Ice Cream Truck in NYC in the 00s and they are nationwide. Sooo good if anyone in here ever comes across it

 

[DeadsetAce]

Jeni’s just opened a scoop shop in San Diego. I’ll need to check it out

Man you’ve spent time in Philly and never checked out Jeni’s?

Fumbling. That everything bagel ice cream is probably #3 on my top 3 things I’ve eaten so far this year. On paper it sounds like it shouldn’t exist, but it’s ridiculous.

Definitely try the brown butter almond brittle and the everything bagel if they have it.

For someone like myself that doesn’t seek out ice cream, Jeni’s is an exception I’ll make.
