Miso closing down

tosscat

I don't think it's pointless at all. I think it's really important.

miss annie

Good for you tosscat, I understand that it is very important to some people. If all the humans in the world (or even in London to start on a local scale) were happy, well fed and living with adequate supplies of food and water in uncramped conditions I'd probably focus more on the welfare of piggies. That's my lane.

But don't humans supposedly taste much the same as pigs?

I've heard the same rumour about human meat and pig meat tasting the same. The cannibal in prison in Germany who killed and ate a guy he met on the net might be able to answer that question.

ADGS

Exactly!

miss annie

I can believe that. Skin smells disturbingly like pork crackling when you accidently burn yourself on the oven.

Firemen don't eat pork crackling.

kreuzkav

Maybe the German cannibal was a vegetarian and can't make the pig meat/human meat comparison.

ADGS

I am a vegetarian but would probably be the first person to suggest cannibalism if trapped in the Andes or whatever, just because...well, if you get an excuse to try it, you might as well. Though I have to be careful not to get over-eager and suggest it when it's just that the Tube has been stuck in a tunnel for five minutes. Looks bad.

That's a shame Mari e Monti is up for sale, be sad if it vanished. Mind you probably the fault of people like me who've taken so long to eat in there. We could all buy it and set up a posh sausage cafe

miss annie

Oooo yes, like S&M cafes or Mother. That would be great.

ADGS

The new sign is going up on Miso - so far it's the letters YEME and not much room for more. Is Yemeni cuisine a distinct thing?

sincers

...sounds a bit like "Yesim" to me.....early morning booze, back on the agenda?

ADGS

Early morning booze has never been off the agenda, you just have to stagger a little further to the fine choice of outlets on Seven Sisters Road.

ActionVerb

Turkish - English YEME: 1. eating. 2. food: Ahmet bugüne kadar yemeden hiç kesilmemişti. Ahmet's never been off his food until now. 3. taste: Bu eriğin yemesi hoş. This plum tastes good.

ADGS

And the final letter was in fact a K so hello Yemek.

Sevlow

It'll be goodbye Yemek within 6 months guaranteed

Marquis

Looks like we'll soon have a variation of the Porchetta/Papagone debate to Petek/Yemek. Can't wait.

If its a decent Ocakbasi (which stroud green rd totally lacks) then i for one will be frequenting it lots.

Hopefully a good replacement for the much missed Rose (on corner of Japan cres/Crouch Hill where WKD monstrosity is now)

sincers

Was that the one that used to be Mey? I loved that restaurant. Their menu was fantastic. It was never that busy though. I think mostly because it was freezing inside the restaurant. The management who took it over and renamed it weren't nearly as good, hence it didn't last long.

therattle

Meh. Never entered Miso.

I am glad Rodavis isn't closing, as it is very handy, and the guy there is friendly. Much rather go there than bloody Homebase. I caught him smoking a joint out the back once, so perhaps not dozy but dopey.

krappyrubsnif

Last time I tried to buy an electric plug there he fell in the bin trying to find it for me. Nice guy. Very helpful but, I thought, completely out of it. Totally Rodavissed, in fact.

miss annie

@graeme Why is the man in the comic strip putting two pairs of sunglasses on?

wisteria53

....and the homewares/electrical shop next to X-it has been Rodavissed as well. There was only a carpeted floor left in there this evening.
