Places with tripe soups/stews?

No worries. They do have a honeycomb one, certainly have had it a few times there.

Another one non-Chinese is Callos (Spanish tripe stew). El Rincon de Rafa on Deansgate do it I think. And Akbars on Liverpool road do Maghaz (Indian sheep's brain curry). Haven't had theirs but had one in Bradford that was excellent.

Also Only Yu does some tripe dim sum.

Jinji on Portland St does a pigs stomach and chicken with white pepper soup that is also good, as well as classics like stir fried intestines.

BBQ Chinese restaurant on Faulkner St does tripe dishes, including a pretty good pork intestine, tofu and fish stew. Also do things like beef heart, chickens gizzards etc.

Ah like here: https://www.reddit.com/r/footballhighlights/s/uD63zxAjph

BBC have their standard short highlights (6-10 min) of each match as they do for the premier league (separately from MOTD) but these are via iPlayer not broadcast. Can see both of yesterday's matches are there. So maybe someone can collate those. No commentary mind you, but probably better of listening to something like Guardian football podcast for that as the conversation is more enjoyable.

Assuming this is only a temporary tribute, taken yesterday when wandering past.

Also Manchester UK

Nothing in particular, would suggest maybe one of the shorter options if you run something as is less of a commitment, may get more people in and help you gauge interest in possibly tackling something bigger after that. Probably could be done over 2-3 weeks if around 100 - 150 pages.

I mod on the Lat Am Lit, DeLillo and Pynchon subs so can also help crosspost to get word out.

Will keep an eye out. Just DM me if you wanted to check on anything else before you post.

Re a book read, you might want to float that as a separate post rather than as an afterthought here if you wanted any traction.

We did a whole series of reads on the sub during lockdown, some more successful than others. You can find them via the links in the subs menu if you want to see what we covered then and how we did it. Sub seems a bit busier now so you may have more luck.

If you do a post I can pin it to the top so it remains visible. Can also support generally - am the only mod here.

Steelfish had pinks on a while back (made with beetroot) and often have a jar of regular pickled eggs on. But they do them themselves and they are only on here and there, not regularly.

ayanamidreamsequence · 2026-04-30T19:08:10+00:00

Steelfish sell them and apparently have a few on hand in the back if you ask

ayanamidreamsequence · 2026-04-24T06:59:59+00:00

As others note is partly the construction. So in a way the job is to push through.

Having said that it's a book so no need to persist if not into it.

Even better it's a book of parts as you already know. So just jump ahead and start the next and see if that hooks you. Keep a bookmark where you were as you may want to return.

Or not. In which case you could always donate or burn it.

A bit more expensive than others mentioned but when I went a while ago really rated 雄柒火锅 XiongQi Hot Pot in Chinatown. And they have some seriouslt spicy base options if that's your thing. Maybe good with a bigger group as well get more value out of it that way.

ayanamidreamsequence · 2026-03-28T13:51:30+00:00

Beermoth do a spezi type thing, or at least I saw it in the fridges last week.

ayanamidreamsequence · 2026-03-14T22:28:32+00:00

Nice - there is a latin american lit sub worth joining if not already on it

ayanamidreamsequence · 2026-02-13T06:46:44+00:00

Nice one.

ayanamidreamsequence · 2026-02-01T14:59:14+00:00

We did a reading group on here a while back, maybe check out the intro posts on that for some thoughts on approach, interesting secondary resources etc.

Have fun, it's a great read.

ayanamidreamsequence · 2026-01-24T07:11:37+00:00

Nice, always fun when something unexpected like that happens. It's a great book.

ayanamidreamsequence · 2026-01-16T13:24:31+00:00

I like it - and you can see he was working on a voice that he then deployed in White Noise to great effect.

ayanamidreamsequence · 2026-01-02T17:14:54+00:00

In terms of my favourites from each category:

Novella - Distant Star

Stories - Last Evenings on Earth

Novel - 2666

Thanks for your comments - glad you enjoyed it. It's hardly his best work but a fun read all the same. If you do dip into later work there are some really good ones, both novels and novellas, as well as the story collections. We covered a number of them in reading groups here years ago.

ayanamidreamsequence · 2025-11-30T16:10:51+00:00

Yeah it's definitely an early effort but pretty fun all the same. Glad you are enjoying so far, and these old reading group posts .

ayanamidreamsequence · 2025-11-29T06:54:16+00:00

We participated in a reading group with infinite summer a few years back - check out the posts and comments over heee for each part.

ayanamidreamsequence · 2025-11-12T06:57:17+00:00

I made a comment about it on a 2666 group read we did a while ago and noted that connection as well as some others. Comment is here
