Jam Roly Poly

Now then. Jam roly poly. I think I've discussed it before. It's jammy and good with custard on a cold day but I'd choose tons of other stuff first.

What's been happening then? Hmm. I've been to Brighton a fair bit lately and I'm gradually finding my fave food places. On Sunday morning had an amazing cooked breakfast at a cafe but then had enormous food envy when I saw my friend David's brekkie selection. Full English breakfast hash!!! Can you imagine it? It came in a huge towering stack of steamy potatoey fabulousness. I felt a bit miffed with my previously much envied breakfast. I couldn't resist sliding a sneaky forkfull from David's plate and devouring it - all the more tastey for the guilty pleasure of it not having been my food. I've decided to go back next Sunday to have the hash! Taking a police woman friend with me and we all know police people know a good food stop when they come across one, so I'll be asking her what she has jotted down in her very important police person's best food tips notebook.

I'm going to Lagos for work next week. Nigeria isn't at the top of my 'must-see' list I've got to say, and I've heard a few toe-curling stories but I'm a bit intrigued. A colleague has told me to avoid Bushmeat stew which is apparently rat! Hilarious! Glad I found that out or I'd be up for sampling a bit of local flavour! I'm only going for a couple of days so it'll hopefully pass without incident.

I'm a bit hungry at the mo. Not sure why as I had lots to eat at lunchtime - beef teryaki - yum!
I'm a HUGE Japanese food fan. They've really sussed some cool, cheeky food surprises. I love teryaki and I love Japanese curry. Edemame - soya beans you suck out of the pods are great! Also one of my favourites, which amazed a Japanese colleague, is Japanese pickled radish. I know, I know. Sounds totally wierd but they are amazing. I recommend everyone (anyone!) who reads this blog to try them.

Actually, I wonder if anyone does read my blog... I'm aware that there has been a lapse of new entries of late and a certain dip in quality/entertainment value.

Is there anyone out there? Who does read blogs anyway? Wow! Get me! Deep, searching questions. I like to blog because I like to write stuff down. I also like to chat and waffle, so blogs are ideal when you've got no-one about to talk to. And I am REALLY rubbish on my own. Even watching my fave TV or films alone. I can't focus on them. I need someone to discuss it with. I guess it's just because I can't keep my mouth closed for more than a few minutes at a time.

Yikes. Things to do. People to see. Places to go.

Drop me a line if you're passing by. Unless you're trying to flog something useless or provide an uninteresting/impractical service. I get a lot of nonsense spam blog. Sigh....
