  • McDonalds here in London is comical. I’m not even near the inner city (Greater London) and I’m surprised they get business these days.

    The last time I wanted a burger I checked, and a meal was going for around £11+
    I walked for five minutes and found a local place, paid about £7-8 for a proper good burger meal with better quality ingredients… They even asked me what kind of bun I wanted (went with brioche).

    The meat wasn’t as thin as a pencil either.





  • I realised in recent times that my friends, whom I’ve befriended since secondary school, grew in different ways. They garnered influences beyond my own, and in a natural fashion became different people.
    This happens sometimes, and it’s not anyone’s fault, however the people we both became (keeping in mind I most certainly have changed, over the years, in the same light) had a polarising effect on our friendships.

    So I called it quits, however with the intention of finding new friends. Being with the same people, at least for me, prevented me from properly engaging in circles which would suit me better by today’s terms.
    Honestly it didn’t take too long, I just dived into social situations where I would more likely find like-minded individuals. I’ve made a bunch of friends since, and we already get along better than the ones I no longer speak to now.

    Surround yourself with things you yourself enjoy, within a social setting, and you’re more likely to be around people there for similar connections. You’d surely have a lot more to talk about too.
    Don’t be too upset about people moving on in different ways though, people grow and some people grow apart. Make sure you continue to grow, is all.







  • This is what I tell people: it is not that salty and I taste a bit of sweetness with it (that sort of mild sweetness, hope you know what I mean).

    If I travel to Germany in the future, I would love to try Mett. That’s one dish people here sometimes turn their heads at, however it sounds very nice from the descriptions.

    I think more people should consider the whole “when in Rome, live as the Romans do” idea when traveling, food is a great way to appreciate a country or area.


  • I love Dutch herring!

    Most times of year it’s referred to as Matjes Herring, which is the usual catch and tastes as nice as herring does.
    At the right time of year, from around some time in June/July, you get Hollandse Nieuwe herring, where it has at least 6% fat. Has a melt in the mouth effect and even nicer.

    I’m going to NL within a few weeks and cannot wait! It’s the first thing I get, even before going to a coffeeshop.

    It’s also very good for settling my stomach and gut, as I get a lot of inflammation there. Sorts it out, can’t explain the science behind that though.
