Cheese and wine have always been regarded as a match made in heaven. Port with Stilton was an age old end of dinner ritual in the UK (relegated to the C- word time of year, at best, now) and whilst it is perceived (wrongly in many instances) that red wine always goes with cheese, I often ..read more

Sugar and (a touch of cuban) spice – Milk and Sugar, Pontcanna, Cardiff, CF11 9HS

This is a place that is actually firmly in the trendy Cardiff burb of Pontcanna, never quite worked out the sky high house prices as parking is a total bitch, without the need for an estate agent to redraw the map such that Tristan da Cunha (with a name like that I bet they all drink ..read more

Well I am back after my little (blogging) break (in Cornwall – may bore you all with platitudes about what you can get on a plate in Porthleven and surrounds at some point in the future) and I am sure you all missed me (I mean even just a little bit?!) – although the metrics suggests ..read more

The blog has seen a rash of posts on visits recently to Indian Sub Continental places and, rather than the British traditional (slightly outdated and overrated) late night curry, these visits have been for lunch. To be honest at my age and without a gall bladder (good riddance to the accused thing that gave me years ..read more

I was sad to see the demise of Nook. I  should have gone there more often, but if I am honest natural wines are generally not my thing, and I have more than enough wine at home than I know what to do with and which (for the most part) I know I will actually enjoy ..read more

If you use your noodle you’ll eat here –  Hatsu Udon, Grangetown, Cardiff.

These days a lot of stuff of interest, on the food front, seems to be happening in the  burbs and the less “fashionable” (i.e. not Pontpangea) ones to boot. One such burb is Grangetown, with the likes of Lahore Kebabish (having moved to its shiny new premises since the days I stated eating there), the ..read more

Not shelling out much for dinner?! £10 lobster menu at Neighbourhood, Riverside, Cardiff.

Lobster is one of those now luxury items, like oysters, that come from surprisingly humble origins.  It was, in the past, referred to by many as the cockroach of the ocean. Allegedly when it was served to prisoners back in days gone by they were wont to complain at the poor fare being given to ..read more

My sister charged me with finding a place for lunch for a visit (with her) to see my father and his partner in London. In theory, I was spoilt for choice bearing in mind what London has to offer. The brief she gave me, however, operated to limit the choice somewhat. Instructions were somewhere not ..read more

J and I  are often viewed as a rather unlikely friends/buddies, I mean I am charming, witty, intelligent and wise (only one of these may be true) and she, well, she likes musicals.  Despite being quite different, we just seem to get on, probably linked to a mutual love of good food and eating out ..read more

Mutton dressed as lamb?  Chennai Dosa, Canton, Cardiff
Soliciting Flavours

I have often thought the original premise behind the phrase “Mutton dressed as lamb“ hasn’t aged that well, as mutton these days is harder to get hold of than lamb and to my mind mutton (cooked properly) doesn’t need to pretend to be anything else as it is uber trendy and often has a superior ..read more
