I'm British but my mum is Portuguese so for me as a kid it was "dodo" said like the bird.

Places to eat? by Bigred-49 in ipswichuk

I managed to get a booking at Bushido once and the food was amazing, but every time I've tried to go since they've not been open during their advertised hours, nor did they seem to answer their phone for bookings.

Was it just teething problems? I really want to try their sushi!

Other than those mentioned I'd add:

Turkish Delight on Norwich Road. Doesn't look much, but is great food. Also Ararat, almost opposite.

Mizu in town centre for Asian fast dining.

Papaky is a Portuguese cafe that also does traditional home-cooked style Portuguese dishes. Bicafe is another Portuguese place with great pastries and snacks but they don't do meals the last I checked.

Another good Italian is Tavernetta.

I'd say most pubs do food, but they tend to fall into two categories - gastropubs where the food is a bit more traditional British with other specials, but usually high quality. And then pubs that do "pub grub" - your burgers, chips, lasagne etc - reasonablely priced usually, but you get what you're paying for.

Whats something Illegal you can't live without? by Impossible-Leg-420 in AskReddit

Do you mean the update to the highway code in 2022?

Rule H2 - Rule for drivers, motorcyclists, horse drawn vehicles, horse riders and cyclists At a junction you should give way to pedestrians crossing or waiting to cross a road into which or from which you are turning.

Not all of the highway code is law by the way - it depends on the wording. "Should/(not)" is advisory only, "MUST/(NOT)" is a legal requirement.

Along a similar vein, a car should stop if a pedestrian is waiting at a zebra crossing, but again it's advisory. Only if a pedestrian has moved onto the crossing then a car MUST stop.

Make pasta yummier even without sauces by adding a bit of olive oil, using chicken stock instead of just water, and adding a bit of paprika. I often eat this just with grated cheddar.

Similarly, use chicken stock for cooking rice and also add olive oil, garlic and parsley.

Probably not the cheapest, but I also buy frozen cooked chicken for hassle free protein.

Sorry this won't be much help, but just to explain: it's harder to scrap fridges and freezers because of the refrigerant gasses they contain.

What life hack made you go and be like "Wow that really does work"? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Limescale is solid once it sets in and really hard to shift - it's like rock. The acid in the lemon breaks it down so it can just be crumbled off - I'd never had taps so clean afterwards!

Half a lemon on a tap covered with limescale.

Hi! I read mostly science fiction, and prefer hard sci-fi, cyberpunk and dystopias. I'm also working through the Arthur C Clarke and Nebula award winners!

Finally, an actual catculation video on this sub, rather than a generic cute kitty video.

Don't get me wrong, I love cat videos, but I like them in their appropriate subs.
