Strong ‘Sheffield actually quite good now’ says person on internet who has never actually been to Sheffield vibes here: express.co.uk/news/uk/193759…

Wow Dosa may share a parade with Subway, Pound Bakery and one of central Sheffield’s 200 Greggs outlets, with an ambience to match. The difference is food made from edible ingredients and genuine pleasure, rather than despair rendered in fat and flour.

This is a long shot but does anyone have any recommendations for Corfu town? I’ll be there later today!

This stuff from our local bakery was pretty decent, but why is going on with Greek, or rather Corfiot bread? It’s like British bread a generation or so ago before it started getting good.

In various outbreaks, like the great Di Santo Premium Sandwiches, Kerkira/Corfu’s food is as Italian, and as first rate, as its architecture:

If there are any serious food people left on this hellsite, is Paris worth it? I’ve always stayed outside the périphérique, save a stinking metro trip between les gares du Nord and Avignon. Tourist trap and thieves pantry, or city of dreams?

Late to the party but Leah’s Yard in spite of the outbreaks of eh up nah then mardy bum nonsense is genuinely great. You can almost convince yourself you live in a city. Mesters’ has the good sense to stock Barncliffe Blue, but needs Pipers’ sausage if they want the best in town.

I’ll never cook an omelette the ‘correct’ way again

Joo Mak bills itself as a Korean ‘pub’ which is not quite the right word, everything else about it however is fabulous. Even the constant stream of K-pop is somehow atmosphere enhancing.

Going to that there Manchester in a couple of weeks. I used to know it inside out (archive pic of Mei Dim for the algorithm). What’s new and good?

Abroad in Sheffield: I don’t really go into town (or city centre as it might almost be called), so felt like a tourist checking out old favourites like Pepper Greenhouse, and the new Popin Bakery for Chicken Floss Bun, which is exactly what it sounds like.

Luckily I can still rely on this hellsite for restaurant recommendations and cat pictures, but I’ve set this up for when Gilead’s plutocratic organ grinder fucks things up even worse: bsky.app/profile/captai…
