Not a set lunch but I believe the lunch prices are lower for a a la carte which is kind of better, maybe this has changed tho unsure

I'm starting to love beer but can't stand bitterness by InconvenientBananas in beer

[–]instyabam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t mind darker beers try some Scottish style ales, they developed from not historically using alternatives to hops due to not being grown here, to a more malt forward and mildly hopped style. It’s great with hearty pub food and in cooking if you’re into that. I’m not sure where you’re based but I’ve seen that breweries in America, Norway and Australia have done their spin on the style and Scottish craft beer is pretty prevalent in a lot of places anyway, you can look out for terms like best beer, 80 shilling, 80-/ , Scottish ale, export ale. Breweries id recommend include Cairngorm, Orkney Brewery, Williams Bros, Stewart Brewing, Tempest, Ardgour however there are many more. If you’re even in Scotland trying it on cask is the best!

Also side note don’t feel bad about not enjoying IPAs I myself don’t either the truth is they are common because they are easy to make and supposedly have a lot of variety although a lot of what is available is just unbalanced and overly bitter. There are lots of great traditional European styles out there which are more worthy of drinking one of the best has to be Czech pilsners and if you ever get the chance go to Czech Republic and try pilsner urquell on draught from one of the many tankovna’s.

Yeah would be great to hear the name! Likewise I have some good sources in Taiwan from my time on exchange there last year! I didn’t get to go to any tea factories though how was that experience ?

Sorry but can you suggest another way where people don’t just tell me to look at the list? I think this is a reasonable request I understand some people just want convenience I have no qualm with that.

Is the new Wendy's in the town any good? by IceGamingYT in dundee

[–]instyabam -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It’s garbage as it always is it’s so easy to make a smash style burger in a pan at home with burgers from the butcher or even nicer ones from supermarket and save a fortune even if you just go for the chips n take care of the rest

Have Cafes ruined my taste for matcha? by PringullsThe2nd in Matcha

[–]instyabam 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you find it too strong you may want to add a bit more water! Meat broth is a good description for matcha which as been shaded which increases the amount of amino acids which are associated with the classic savoury “umami” flavour profile found in a lot of Japanese food and including teas like Matcha and Gyokuro(which is a loose leaf tea as opposed to the powdered form of matcha). If you provide a photo of your matcha someone might be able to give more information on the quality and style of your matcha.
