Paid Members JLM Posted February 29 Paid Members Share Posted February 29 The salad bar at Fazenda also has cold cuts on it. You know you’re there to satisfy primal bloodlust when the salad is also meat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted February 29 Paid Members Share Posted February 29 I briefly dated a Brazilian lady, who told me that the secret to any all-you-can-eat South American grill is to refuse or take as little as possible from the first several skewers, as they're trying to fill you up with the cheap cuts (and activate your "full up" sense that usually kicks in twenty minutes after you started eating) so that you don't have as much of the expensive ones, like picanha.

Paid Members JLM Posted February 29 Paid Members Share Posted February 29 Yeah I made that mistake the first time. Said yes to everything and got baited by the filler  meats. Also they slyly kept us waiting to be seated  and served complimentary piping hot little cheese dough ball things. A clear and obvious trap but I definitely ate several of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted February 29 Paid Members Share Posted February 29 I'd never complain if someone served me free pao — meat I can get anywhere, but I've never managed to cook them properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JLM Posted February 29 Paid Members Share Posted February 29 Ah, yes, pao de queijo, that’s exactly what they were. They were sensational but they definitely reduced my capacity for expensive meats, which is ultimately what I was there for. They knew what they were doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Statto Posted March 1 Paid Members Share Posted March 1 19 hours ago, Sergio Mendacious said: When you hear about biscuits and gravy, that’s the gravy. It’s a peppery cream sauce that sometimes has sausage crumbled in it, it’s… okay. It's incredible is what it is. Proper biscuits and gravy is genuinely the thing I miss most in my veganism.

Paid Members Scratch Posted March 1 Paid Members Share Posted March 1 I found out yesterday Darren Styles lives round the corner from us. Now I know he lives close, I’m looking forward to driving past him whilst shouting “shining down on meyyyyy!” out the window at him. He’ll love that.

Paid Members Carbomb Posted March 13 Paid Members Share Posted March 13 (edited) With all my flapping my gums about going to the Barbican more often, if this doesn't get me there, nothing will. https://www.barbican.org.uk/whats-on/2024/event/karl-bartos-the-cabinet-of-dr-caligari Quote  Karl Bartos: The Cabinet of Dr Caligari Sat 22 Jun 2024, 20:00,Hall Robert Wiene's classic 1920's psychological thriller is set to Karl Bartos' (ex-Kraftwerk) haunting narrative film music and sound design. The original, long lost, orchestral soundtrack (Giuseppe Becce) has given way to an immersive listening experience. Special sound effects match the action as we enter the film as both spectator and participant. A creaking door, foot-steps on gravel, the turning of pages in a ledger, and a half-heard fragment of dialogue are seamlessly synchronised to the action on screen. Composing on piano and computer, Bartos approached the task as would any earlier composer, painstakingly creating a score which was then electronically orchestrated with the help of his musical partner, sound engineer Mathias Black. Beautifully restored by the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau-Foundation, experience a screening of The Cabinet of Dr Caligari set to Bartos' live film score.   Edited March 13 by Carbomb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
