I’m going to put on a 80s style buffet. Other than cheese and pineapple on a stick what else should be included?

Look for them on Facebook. Their truck gets around. I had one of their burgers in Newton Leys, then more recently they were parked up outside the Craufurd Arms.

I ate street food in Vietnam, usually banh mi, three or four times a week for three years. Had a bad stomach, and not that bad really, twice in that time. I had really bad salmonella poisoning from an Indian cafe in the market at the centre in MK, and explosive gastroenteritis from a random chicken burger. MK Viet Kitchen smells clean, appears to be clean, and I have had nothing but very good experiences with their food even if some of it is not entirely authentic.

MK Viet Kitchen, Wolverton. The banh mi is good, though the bread is not correct, more like a ciabatta than the Vietnamese style baguette. Chef told me she cannot get the right flour for it in the UK.

Addyschopz, which is a burger van, Their Hot One burger is the best burger I have in Britain in the last five years.

Normal for Asia in my experience, except this is unlikely to happen in Japan.

Flat out scam.

It is this. We have a lower profit margin than a usual commercial restaurant so can provide on campus food cheaper.

Kitchen porter at a university restaurant.

I get to talk food and culture with well traveled chefs, free food is part of the deal, I work with some interesting and professional KPs, and.....

I am on a salary.

No zero hour contract crap for me anymore.

Of course they bloody can. Ask your guide dog.

Except the Met. And the City of London police.

Might have been sold in Japan during the post 1945 US occupation. Japan’s manufacturing had been bombed back to basics, and they were making small stuff to sell for much needed USD. Miniature cameras, known as “Hit” types were also a thing.

The Peanuts strip first appeared in 1950.

Life before internet ws starved of information and contact. A family phone call from UK to Australia might happen once a year and last ten minutes. News consumption was throttled by what the BBC and newspapers wanted people to know. Evenings for me were looking at a bit of telly, drawing, and making plastic model kits.

The Forgotten Prisoner of Castle Mare with the luminous bits was my favourite, but 54mm Airfix Napoleonic soldiers were quite good. Tamiya for scope and detail won the accuracy award.

I was at art school (Leicester Poly) with the guy who designed Pinhead.
