I agree, it does feel more contrived but hopefully in time it will be more natural. <br /><br />Poke - brilliant, thanks for your low-down. I tried the skewers at Hardcore Prawn; will try the bisque next.Hollow Legshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152329184111658897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4148635935379992641.post-89418417507431354022011-11-14T12:09:04.309+00:002011-11-14T12:09:04.309+00:00Great review and spotlight on an exciting time for...Great review and spotlight on an exciting time for Street Food in Britain. Big big fan of Eat.St. I try and get up here a couple of times a week now. My particular faves-<br /><br />Big Apple Hot Dog- I am addicted, simple as that. Need a fix once a week.<br /><br />YumBuns- never had the idolised Momofuku versions but these steamed buns with Pork are delicious.<br /><br />Homeslice- some of the best pizza in London I reckon. Chorizo and Rocket slice is another addictive example of London street food.<br /><br />Tongue and Cheek- great braised ox cheek which will become increasingly popular as the cold sets in.<br /><br />BahnMi 11- 'BBQ Squared' may be the best Bahn Mi in London.<br /><br />Hardcore Prawn- the Crab Bisque is smooth, velvety and totally delicious.Pokenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4148635935379992641.post-26462453940736981552011-11-14T11:31:56.993+00:002011-11-14T11:31:56.993+00:00Ribman's the business!

I work near Eat St and visit at least once a week, usually for a rib bap or some pulled pork from Anna Mae's. <br /><br />Great to see UK streetfood taking off - it's a great way to try relatively under-represented or niche grub. The specialisation is part of what makes great streetfood - you get people who love one particular dish and put all their energy into making it as good as it can be. It's a bit more expensive than abroad, and feels a bit more contrived rather than a natural part of city culture (unlike say in Asia, or even in New York) but then that's just how London's wired - for too long, crappy hotdog stalls/vans are all there's really been.Alexnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4148635935379992641.post-82193724341946412932011-11-14T11:27:30.757+00:002011-11-14T11:27:30.757+00:00my cooking hut - that it was!

I didn't think polenta with meatballs was 'a thing' but I am right on board.<br /><br />Cook in a Curry - The tacos were so excellent. I wish I worked nearer. <br /><br />Mr Noodles - I think I've tried Banhmi11 on Broadway Market; I'll look out for the catfish version.<br /><br />Soot Soot - treasured memory or not, I am pleased they've been superceded :) <br /><br />Richard Elliot - come now, we were lucky enough to have the meat easy (stemmed from street van) with us for so long! I hear the Brockley market stalls on a Saturday are good. <br /><br />Jonathan - thanks for your heads up, oh Sandwich Guru!<br /><br />Food Urchin - I had the rib sandwich and the junior dog all by myself. It's the worms. "feed me, lizzie!" I must heed their call. <br /><br />yes, it's quite tricky to find but once you do, oh the bounty!Hollow Legshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152329184111658897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4148635935379992641.post-88046087821818452202011-11-14T11:20:39.734+00:002011-11-14T11:20:39.734+00:00Can I clarify something here, did you go to Eat St...Can I clarify something here, did you go to Eat St and eat all of that by yourself or were you sharing??<br /><br />Must go back down there soon, now that I know where it is, spent a frustrating Friday lunch a couple of weeks ago trying to find the place.Food Urchinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02453819598450656718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4148635935379992641.post-36461335789729792612011-11-14T11:11:20.855+00:002011-11-14T11:11:20.855+00:00Awesome.
