Two fat blokes and some nibbles

Me and @cardiffcomfest at Beers, Bites and Beards last week

Disappointment down the Bay

Just got back from a meal out with friends at Signor Valentino in Cardiff. Food decidedly average.

The goat's cheese tart seemed to be encased in pastry so spongey I wondered if it was puff rather than shortcrust, and the filling tasted decidedly cheddar-like.

The pizza was an improvement but only after pouring several glugs of chilli oil over it.

Worst of all however was the price. In Italy a good pizza rarely costs more than seven euros (a little over a fiver). So why should a pizza with the same three toppings in Cardiff cost more than double?

Been doing some more work on Stephen Terry's YouTube page. Adding side graphics and selecting me keywords.
Time to step away from the laptop now. Headache coming

Ready to grow our own

My stepdaughter's boyfriend and me at our new family allotment in the 'port
:)

Lovely lunch. Flash-fried steak sandwich with lashings of english mustard from Palfreys butchers on Church Road in Newport.
The flavour is just amazing.

Beer and bites

Tomorrow it's the Otley Brewery' Beer and Bites night at the Radisson. Six sampling courses courtesy of the in-house Filini restaurant - may include Sardinian dishes which should make it interesting - complimented by some of Wales' best beer.
Result!

So why have I started this blog?

So why have I started this blog? Well a couple of things occurred to me recently.

1. My other blog A Slice of Sardinia is only really of any use when I'm in Sardinia. Otherwise it's just a random collection of bits I've found on the web or my friends who live there have sent me.

2. A lot of my life revolves around food - I shoot videos about it, write reviews about it, try out recipes and attend functions or restaurants where I consume lots of it.

3. Oh and drink, let's not forget drink.

 So I figured why not try and drag it altogether in one place, and here we are.

 I should also explain that the title comes from my Sardinian friend Andrea who - because like all of us  he's eager to learn - is always asking, 'What's Welsh for...'

 Ironic really because I don't speak Welsh.

 Anyway it'll take a while to pull it together so do bear with me.
