FOOD & DR INK
46 Bratwurst. Ketchup. Curry powder. Berlin’s finest available on Cambridge Market (if only sporadically). 47 Falafel wrap with everything – the ultimate lunch from Carlos BBQ. 48 Several of the beers in the fridges at Thirsty. Oddly, the more you try, the better they taste. 49 A rib of wagyu beef from the Mill Road Butchers – eaten with triple-cooked chips and the first sprouting broccoli of the season. 50 The finest jamón ibérico, marcona almonds and Spanish olives from the amazing Daniel at Pata Negra Spanish Food. 51 A selection of exquisite handmade chocolates from Dulcedo. 52 Fish and chips from The Sea Tree. With a side of halloumi fries (to share, obviously). You might need a pickle with that.
53 Very early morning pizza (or kebab – at that time I’m not particularly fussy) from the fine folks at Grill House. 54 Porchetta sandwich from Bread & Meat. 55 Cambridge is the sort of place where we are lucky enough to have a restaurant on a bus. It’s also brilliant. La Latina’s tostones and empanadas are superb. 56 Any one of several hundred Belgian beers at The Cambridge Blue pub. 57 Bibimbap at Bibimbap House. 58 Nameless but delicious (and very cheap) handmade biscuits fromMill Road International Supermarket. 59 196’s cocktail list is lengthy and comprehensive. I am a man of simple pleasures. One old fashioned, please.

60 Any one of the five blends at
63 It may well have taken several years of my life, but the Volcanic Cheesy Chicken at Ji’s Chicken Shop was well worth it. 64 Several (dozen?) samples of free fudge from Fudge Kitchen on King’s Parade. 65 Dripping on toast, pork scratchings and warm ale at The Queen’s Head, Newton makes me forget, for at least for an hour or so, that social media exists and goes some distance to instilling a sense of peace and tranquillity. 66 Cherry Box takeaway pizza. Eaten in bed with a glass of Chianti DOCG. A rare, but important, treat. 67 Taking advantage of Tradizioni’s BYO fee of just £1 and drinking an outrageous bottle of wine alongside a lovely pizza. 68 Weekly trips to the ‘spice den’ and stocking up on naan bread at Al-Amin. Favourite recent discovery? Realising how delicious asafoetida is, despite its truly challenging smell.
5 Blends Coffee House. And don’t forget a sfogliatella to go with that. 61 Seoul Plaza’s homemade kimchi, great with fried rice at any time of the day. 62 Steamed brioche bun. Beef hot dog. Far too many toppings to eat tidily. Road Dogs’ Dirty Dog is a thing of beauty.
