Forget starters and mains! I could live on restaurants’ ‘snack’ menus these days. Here are 3 from @town.restaurant - the sage fritters, the radishes and the unholy potato sourdough with ‘house gravy’ which might have to go on my Last Supper list. More in this week’s Friday 5 (see link in bio). . . . #snacks #fritti #potatobread #gravy #radishes #townrestaurant #newrestaurant #londonfoodGreat to have an old-school aubergine/eggplant parm the other night @pazzobybianchis plus top notch fritto misto. The set lunch deal is a bargain too at £16. . . . #aubergine #eggplant #eggplantparm #frittomisto #italianfood #bristolfoodYou can’t really see the crab but this was an absolutely cracking dish of bucatini cooked Malaysian style with crab, garlic, soy and crispy chilli oil from @julielincooks terrific new book Sama Sama. (The chilli crisp puttanesca). Lots of similarly inventive and enticing recipes. Check it out next time you’re in a bookshop. . . . #samsama #pasta #bucatini #crab #chillicrispThe loveliest of salads (fennel, peas, broad beans and pecorino) followed by boudin noir with spring veg (an unlikely but brilliant combination) last night at @cave.bristol. Top use of in season ingredients by @charliehearncooks. . . . #cave #winebar #bistro #gloucesterroadbristol #bristolfood #salad #boudin #springvegetables #eattheseasons Follow on Instagram
