OM NOM NOM NOM

In other news, I'm going to a Korean restaurant on Saturday. I discovered one in Manchester

In other news, I'm going to a Korean restaurant on Saturday. I discovered one in Manchester

Whereabouts? There's a few nice places in Manchester that serve oriental cuisine.

One of my favourites was Umami (more of a Japanese flavour though), which is located on Oxford Road, beneath The Footage pub and next door to a Subway (or is it an estate agents, I forget). I know Oxford Road is studentsville, but there's some great places along there that are worth a peek, and they're pretty good value for the money. :3

Anyways, to answer the poll, I don't feel there *is* a best cuisine. Each one has it's own positives and negatives, some are more about presentation, others about portion size. I ultimately voted for my favourite, Italian; Chinese, Japanese, Spanish and British are not far behind. :3

Koreana, just off Deansgate, near Kendal's. We didn't go however, as it's closed at Saturday lunchtime and Sundays, for some reason. Instead, we went to Chaophraya, a Thai restaurant that was really good.
Tampopo, Wasabi, and most of all Wagamama are the best retaurants for Asian food

I'll have to check that out then. And yes, Oxford Road is studentville. You can tell by all the SWP posters you see mushrooming around Manchester Met.

Yup, I know all about that road; it's claimed three years of my life thus far, and there's another three yet to be lost to it. Man Met <3

[Subotan]

I need to explore it more. And btw, who puts up those SWP posters?

[Secura]

Students, generally; I worked one year just milling around Man Met's campus handing out flyers for some non-descript student night, watching people take my flyers and then bin them soon after or throw them on the floor. Soul-crushing job.

Youll be amazed the lengths we'll all go to so we can fund our next boozy night out.

[Subotan]

So the SWP pays people to put up those posters? LOL

[Secura]

Pittance, yes, but it's not really a job, is it?

As for other eateries in Manchester, you should avoid the likes of Buffet City and such. Sure, you can eat however much Chinese you want for a nice price, but the digestive aftermath doesn't bear thinking about; I was sick for days afterwards.

Sunday Roast is the best ever.

If you disagree, it only means...
1) You cannot cook.
2) It was done by some one who cannot cook.

Why try cow from some place...erm when I live in a place where they outnumber us some three to one. I'm not saying Argentian beef is bad, I'm sure it's great... but Beef isn't something we don't have a huge shortage of.

I really don't see what's so special about Argie beef. Here in Australia beef is cheap and plentiful. And it's even cheaper when you buy local beef from the Chinese butchers because they don't like/use the bits that Caucasians do (the rump especially) so they sell it even cheaper.

Home-style Portuguese chicken piri-piri. When I was young(er) we would go to Portugal every year, and we'd drive from Faro to this little Portuguese restaurant on a little embankment in this smallish town. And we'd order the local chicken. Nothing in my life has ever compared to that. Maybe it's just the memories of a kid, but it was just fantastic. I've tried to emulate the way they make it. I can get the sauce and the grilling right, but the chickens we get here are just not scrawny or tasty or juicy enough.

If done with everything (roast potato and mashed yorkshires, selection of veg, and some good meat) Then I agree.

Anyone have a taybarns near them? Its expensive to get in but you eat as much as you want, I could literally get 10 plates of food and only have to pay the entering fee, which equates to about £8 I think. More on weekends.

Hah, I hate mashed potato, but...

Beef/Lamb/Turkey/Goose/Etc joint
Sausage meat (generally in a ball shape)
Roast Potatos
Yorkshire Puddings
Veg (Carrots, Green Beans, Sweetcorn, etc) [I hate Sprouts too, so none of them]

The gravey is optional, I prefer my crisp lovely yorkshires, yorkshire puddings, etc, for them not to be poisoned by gravey.

A little gravy must be added to the plate under all circumstances. Mashed potato if mashed well (so its not lumpy) and with liberal amounts of butter and milk stirred in, is divine. And chipolatas/sausage based meats can be nice, though generally we only do that at christmas (well only last christmas actually, but still) stuffing is a nice addition too.

That's okay Beskie, you know that I'll eat the mashed potatoes if you don't. :D

It still make me lol though, that a Trotskyite Party has to resort to capitalism to spread it's ideology.

I've never heard of that place, but I'll be sure to avoid it now. Thanks for the heads up about what comes back up.

To be fair to them, I was going through a vegetarian phase when I ate there, and absolutely nothing on offer agreed with me or my stomach; it's like vegetarianism just isn't an option if you're going to eat Chinese food, but I was forced to go by friends.

The food might be more palatable for the discerning meat-eater, but I can't vouch for that. :3

Bah food....

Had an Irish lamb-rollade yesterday, I don't know what herbs they put on it, must be local. But it was delicious, best lamb I ever had.
