I feel very smug. Actually had an order in my McDonald’s app and willed myself away.

Ended up with this kind of tuna rice bowl thing with last night’s rice and a few tasty bits and pieces.

#smug #lunchoftheday

Tuna, rice, avocado with mayo, chilli oil and onion.

It’s such a mess. 😢

Alex @gingeybites.bsky.social · Jul 15

I agree but this is the reduced price. Not the the full value. My concern is that by pricing reduced food so highly, surely more will end up in the bin? Just crazy prices!

Alex @gingeybites.bsky.social · Jul 15

Food is so expensive now!!! I get that this is Waitrose so not necessarily a balanced example but even so… reduced to these prices? #costofliving #foodprices

Kickstarting a foodie weekend with lunch at QBao in #Cardiff. I had the beef ribs noodle soup and it was delicious. Made a slight tit of myself trying to drink the broth with the big wooden ladle but could you blame me?

Name a more elite snack than a cold new potato with rocksalt and kewpie mayo….

Loving our garden, and thankful to the previous owners who clearly knew what they were doing. Unfortunately we don’t so this is the best it’s ever going to look! 😂

Bloom scrolling - what an excellent hashtag.

Alex @gingeybites.bsky.social · Jun 27

I’ve tried fizz and flour (and loved it!), infact we used them for our networking event at work last week 🙌

The rest is yet another excellent load of recommendations to add to my ever growing list! Thank you!

Alex @gingeybites.bsky.social · Jun 27

Lovely - I’ve driven past it actually but not been in yet. I believe you can’t beat a good cheese toastie and you’re right, the Costa/ Starbucks ones are sooo disappointing!

Is this your blog?

Do you follow Dinner with Jon on TT or IG? He’s great, and has a new cookbook out, which I was kindly sent by Meze publishing.

Here’s his rather yummy Marmite & Cheddar Welsh Rarebit! 🤤

Brilliant, thank you! A few of these are already on the list but a couple to add now!

Alex @gingeybites.bsky.social · Jun 25

Let me know what you think! Any other decent suggestions around Canton? I’ve not been to Let them eat cake yet!

If you like Zapiekanka (Polish open sandwiches), I tried and loved Big Mamma’s sandwich shop on Cowbridge Road East in Cardiff today! It was absolutely delicious and Big Mamma is a brilliant character! We loved her! 😊 🇵🇱
