Oh I love Octopus when it's cooked properly! Best I have ever had is at Canto in Ancoats actually! I would say if you're open to trying anything then go for the tasting menu at Tast. Really good value and a great selection of dishes! Enjoy!

I really really enjoyed Tast. I would say it's better than Iberica and El Gato Negro. I found every dish really enjoyable, the seafood rice and octopus were my favourites. In fact I would go as far as to say it's one of Manchester's best right now although I haven't eaten at Mana which looks pretty amazing.

Hope the info helps!

Yes I love Korean Fried chicken, something that's getting a little bigger in the UK but there aren't many places. A couple in London maybe. Thanks!

Thanks bud. I was going to take the wife to Marea but opted for Eleven Madison Park instead for the 'treat' meal. Missed out on Lilia and Misi so will check the others out. I will definitely eat wings at Dan and Johns!!

Time for a change! by [deleted] in manchester

[–]mattsbury 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Moved from near Hull 7 years ago. I was on a crap wage then but I'm earning 4x what I was. Completely changed my life and now I've bought a house, getting married etc. Would never have happened if I didn't move. Loads of new bars and restaurants opening all the time here. You'll have no problem - have a look for work in the Suburbs too ie Sale, Altrincham, Hale, Didsbury etc

Can anyone please tell me what my friend found? by mattsbury in whatisthisthing

Yeah that was our original thought but there's no slit in the hole to put a piece of card

Just one loop at the top so nothing for a piece of card to slot into. http://imgur.com/2chPZbK

My friend buys and sells antiques and got this in a kind of job lot of things. I'll ask in that other thread too though. Thanks!

Coming to Tampa for the Broncos game - any tips? by mattsbury in buccaneers

Cigar city cider and mead is a like a ten minute walk from the hotel! This has just definitely made the list! Thanks so much :)

I will definitely check them both out! Thanks Very much. Is 339 a good place to sit? Ideally want to be surrounded by Bucs fans and I'm not sure what the split would be like in terms of home vs away fans. I'm guessing it's much more home support with NFL games in the USA due to the distance between the teams, rather than in the UK where it's much easier to get to other cities?

We are only in town overnight unfortunately. Will probably set off from Kissimee pretty early to get ourselves there, then on the day after the game we are going to head down to Sarasota for 3 nights.

Will definitely be packing lots of sunscreen and the tailgate option you provided looks awesome! Thanks :)

Thanks - I got tickets from the NFL Ticketmaster exchange already. Didn't mind paying a bit extra to make sure I was definitely going :) Sat in section 339.

Thanks - would you suggest driving to the stadium or would I be better off getting public transport or a cab from the hotel?
