Chinese Home Cooking on West Preston Street Edinburgh. Good food, mega cheap. You were served by an angry Chinese woman who demanded to know what you wanted &, more or less, threw your food at you. Ahhh loved that place. Used to pile in there after a night's training to 'carbo load'.

The Noodle Shack in Edinburgh. It was a restaurant on the first floor across from ABC. You went through a nondescript door & emerged into this open space with benches. Everyone sat elbow to elbow shovelling huge amounts of noodles in broth into their mouths... Also mega cheap

This is quite the snobby article. I agree that Hollywood is only making kids films that pretend they're for adults (they're too long for kids for starters)... However, it's perfectly possible for cinema to be genre AND for adults.

I was looking for beauty and simplicity in my own home. The first meal of the day, a daily ritual, started to present itself as a natural still life.
