What are you Eating/Drinking?

[TB]

I tried Hormel chili a while back on a whim and it was surprisingly good. Not in a "I expected it to make my stomach turn inside-out" way, but in a "Holy 🤬 this is good" kind of way.

This is not that.

Tonkotsu Ramen - Shoyu broth.

 

[Touring Mars]

Between my broken taste buds (supertaster) and my wife's gluten intolerance, we're not big beer drinkers but we do both like ciders.

Funnily enough, I just saw a local magazine called 'Pints of View' and it names a classic old pub called "The Jolly Judge" as Edinburgh's Cider Pub of the Year. The pub is in a close just off The Royal Mile, approx 200 yds/2 mins from where you are staying (I think). It was actually stop #1 on my list of Edinburgh pubs to visit when @Sage was here, but annoyingly it was closed! That said, we hardly had enough time to visit the remainder of the pubs on my list - a pub crawl in Edinburgh is fun whether you are drinking anything or not, as it is a beautiful city with lots of great venues.

I'm a big fan of Ramen, but it is expensive and not always that good here. I had Ramen in Japan several times, and it was amazing - but I think that has set an impossible standard to replicate here.

I actually got off the Shinkansen in Yokohama just to pull off the ultimate work practical joke and visit the Ramen Museum there, as at the time I was working on Raman spectroscopy - I pretended I'd gone all the way to Japan for a Raman conference, only to discover it was a Ramen conference...

Incredibly close and added to the (every growing) list!

Hope that wasn't too spicy for you. How did it taste? Just wondering.

Like toast with cheese, cilantro and jalapeño without seeds. I can do reapers but the best is lemon peppers.

Today I fixed me a creamy scrambled egg over toast with Chipotle mayo spread.
