when you go for an Indian meal what do you order for starters?

[suzywong]

Thenk you

do you know i have been dreaming about dropping by Sains locals to buy pastry goods. Seriously

Hey, while we are talking about restaurants on the upper end of Holloway Road, can I thoroughly recommend Nid Ting Thai restaurant which is right next door to a massive bath shop. It's the dog's.

when we were up in manchester recently we went to the curry mile and the starter i ordered turned out to be a fishcake (looked a bit like ones you get in a chippy)

but it said something completely different on menu

i was so hungry i ate it

wise move, Bundle, you know how surly northerners get if you refuse their native dishes or go in all guns blazing with your Southern Jessie ways aka TASTE

lol mrs badger

i went to kew once and well, never got there

abandoned somewhere near neasden iirc

suze we have a lovely proper kebab shop near us, Yildiz, it's scrummy

AHEM

and fireplace shops

still waiting for your starter oo?

well then I 'll come and sample its delights when I bring Fragrant Boy 1 over in September

yes, all the bathroom shops and then that utterly bizaare Wet and Wild reptilarium/unusual pet shop on the other side of the road.

Do you remember the day the HSBC on the corner opposite the National Youth theatre went staffless and all automated

I 'm right in there among the super Turkish grocers' shops and those quaint Colombian Delis now and off course the syringes and the dog poo.

Happy days

Shurrupp OO, I love you really

YEs, starlight, the Best Kebab Shop in North London. Just opposite the gorgeous St Johns.

OH god I got it bad tonight

Nothing, I'm not keen on the starters, all a bit heavy for me.

Kinda miss what, starlight, and please remember I AM Chinese ( by Marriage)

where's bakedpotato these days, she lives on DPHill, she should wade right in to this convo, an she have Better Things To Do?

bog off then, booge

oh St Johns

I remember having to entertain DH;s colleagues from the New York office there
very good night.

Do you remember Don's Cafe, Starlight? It had superb orange vinyl chairs and tables bolted to the floor, just opposite Sitara

And I 'm also going to go slightly south and through the Golden Fish Bar on Farringdon or is it Clerkenwell Road opposite the Grauniad bulidng. A perfect land -That-Time-Forgot 1950s fish and chip bar.

poppadoms with the dips
