E. Pellicci

E. Pellicci
Been meaning to try the breakfasts at this well-regarded Italian café for years (though obviously not as many years as the place has been waiting for me to show up - “est. 1900”!) - to my shame, I never managed to make it down there while I was working just up the road in Shoreditch. Went there Friday morning to break fast with John Z who’s moving to an amazing job in Georgia. Bacon sausage mushrooms beans and toast. Job's a good ’un. Good luck John.

Chocolate caliente

Chocolate caliente
Yes. Genuine chocolate glue. These Spaniards, they know how to make a cup of hot chocolate. No messing around with powder and milk and dehydrated this or reconstituted that. Instructions: take bars of chocolate; melt; stick in cup. Well, OK, it's probably a bit more involved than that, but I care not a jot. Bring on the chocaldite.
