Discovering London’s international cuisines, one meal at a time

Roundup: Lebanese mezze and eating East London

by Andrea in Festivals, Links, The plan

- Allegra McEvedy’s account of eating her way through Lebanon reminds me of why Lebanese is so high on my list of potential next meals. I thought I knew Lebanese food, but I hadn’t heard of many of the dishes she describes–like man’ousheh, muhammara and ‘boiled brains with lemon’. Here’s hoping a few of them are served on Edgware Road.

- We love the sound of this! Circus Eats at Stratford Circus has a special menu for the East festival this weekend: the theme is celebrating the cultures of London’s east end with a mix of international dishes, from African, Caribbean and South American to European, Asian and traditional East London eats like pie mash and salt beef bagels. The Thursday night launch has a “modern East End seven course tasting menu accompanied by specially selected international drinks.” We hope to investigate.

- Our mission plan page is filling up. Matt, our chief geek, has designed a really clever drop-down menu you can use to easily view the countries we’ve covered, the countries we’re working on and the countries we have no idea about.
