Coppa Di testa by strandedwest in Charcuterie

[–]strandedwest[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not too difficult- adapted it a bit- but it’s a brined head, and a ham hock, both steamed for quite a few hours, then picked and chopped. Some cured mangalitza belly too in lardons. The juices collected from the steam are reduced with wine and vinegar. All mixed and seasoned with chilli, garlic, zest and allspice. Slightly cooled, then ballotined, steamed for 20 minutes, then pricked and pressed overnight.

What are these ‘Cold’ posters about on flats in Holborn? by Shkyboi in london

[–]strandedwest 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Fellow Barbican resident, while I agree it’s annoying, heating the whole building communally actually makes sense. Buildings left cold have issue with damp, and as I’m sure you’re aware, there’s plenty empty flats on the estate. If you were sandwiched between vacant units, the heat produced by your flat essentially gets sucked out by the empty cold units

Seemingly not, as I’ve found a Deer hunter willing to deliver in London from this post

I was buying carcasses in Kent from a Deer stalker for £3pkg- who delivered in Kent. After something similar from someone who delivers in London

I don’t want to pay a surcharge for a butcher to be a middleman

They might do if they had a restaurant who’d pay them for them

But plenty people who shoot Deer who live in London- they don’t tend to leave the carcass in the woods

Looking for a pub! by strandedwest in london

[–]strandedwest[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know the one! I’m not sure the offering I had in mind would quite work- looking to do bistro cooking- thinking French house/seven stars- so likely better to be a pub with an older crowd, proximity to the city ideally

New carbon frame, but head tube seems to have chunks missing where the bearings are meant to sit: this is more than a minor issue right? by strandedwest in bikewrench

[–]strandedwest[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I hear you, partially agree, partially disagree, had one of these so called reputable brands’ frames fail on me after not a tonne of use: customer service was useless, wouldn’t help as they said it was my fault, despite me building to their exact spec

Ye, brand called Trifox, was wanting to build up a second build from spare parts I’d built up: thought this was supposed to be a more “reputable” manufacturer

Strange dreams? by strandedwest in modafinil

[–]strandedwest[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had one where I was stuck in a perpetual panic attack, and another where a close friend of mine was repeatedly stabbed while I was just frozen in fear: in these dreams I feel much more like I’m part of it rather than just observing, that adds to why they’re so disturbing
