The Bitchin' Cabinet

And I mean that as a compliment, obviously.

Nice work #JayRayner

Jay Rayner does Stage - Exeter, UK

"The charcuterie serves as the “chef’s snacks”: there are deep purple discs of a lightly spiced venison salami, with a pleasing tang of armpit."

Think #JayRayner phoned in this review of Rochdale’s #Martlet restaurant.
What would Jean Shrimpton have made of this coal eyeliner.
Sadly corrected in the digital version www.theguardian.com/food/2024/no...
gothic revival by William Henry Crossland, into a golden, glowing focus. There is finely chiselled stonework, stained-glass windows and wood-panelled chambers with intricate foliage-strewn wall coverings recalling the work of William Morris. Ceiling panels are decorated with branch and leaf, upon which perch fully plumed peacocks and illustrations of the martlet, a mythical bird that was forever on the wing. Whatever you do, make time to drift slack-jawed through these chambers. Perhaps while wearing a pale, lace-fringed linen smock dress and coal eyeliner. I could rock that look.

Did I need one of these?
Not really, no.

I had thought of buying one before but the Guardian's Jay Rayner waxed lyrical/fragrant about the one he'd got for Christmas, in one of his latest columns - and so...

#MasalaDabba
#JayRayner
The masala dabba (spice container) seen from above. It's made of stainless steel and it has a geometrical type ornamental pattern (in two rings) on the outside of the lid and in the middle of the lid there's a largish flower-like decoration with a ring of much smaller leaves around it. It's pretty enough without being garish. It's meant to contain the ingredients you use most. The dabba opened. Inside there are seven tightly fitting containers, with spoons. From the more or left 21.00 position and clockwise: - homemade garlic powder - Korean chilli flakes - whole cumin seeds - rock sea salt - palm sugar - star anise - Madras curry powder (in the middle.)

Well all sleb chefs have their critics so here’s #jayrayner on point

amp.theguardian.com/food/article...
have become increasingly popular. And once charred it proves a sturdy platform for huge flavours, smeared on the singed surface. This version, served at the boisterous XO Kitchen in Norwich, just made me laugh. It was described on the menu as BBQ hispi with salad cream, black bean dressing and XO seasoning. I asked the chef Jimmy Preston what was in the golden rubble of XO seasoning. "Well," he said slowly. "You need a pork element for XO, so that's crushed-up Frazzles. And then you need dried seafood so that's Scampi Fries." He paused. "Monster Munch might also have been involved." If you're reading this outside the UK and have no idea what I'm going on about, you can look these great and vital snack products up online. Just know, it's genius. Serves 4

#JayRayner the "food critic" who can't take criticism.
beerdan.bsky.social BeerDan @beerdan.bsky.social · Mar 25
Imagine insulting an entire group of people, by referring to them as "gloomy beer drinkers", then feigning shock and surprise when said group of people get pissed off.
Get over yourself, you narcissist.
