FOOD & DR INK
84 There are too many truly good small-batch chocolate bars to pick a single one, but I’m slowly making my way through the selection at Culinaris. 85 Hummus and other assorted mezze from Lagona. 86 A proper whisky sour, upstairs at Novi. 87 Coffee and a muffin from Bould Brothers Coffee. 88 Cold champagne from plastic cups on Jesus Green. 89 Another Cambridge institution sadly no longer with us, but the lunch deal at Clowns included some of the best – and most comforting – pasta anywhere.

90 Smoked salmon from River Farm Smokery, sadly no longer smoking in an old RAF base in Bottisham. Thankfully, however, now called Chapel and Swan and just over the border in Exning. 91 Thai-style barbecued pork on rice from Thaikhun. 92 Hot Numbers’ bacon sandwich on toasted sourdough. Yes, please, I would like some HP Sauce. 93 Cobs Bakery cheese scones (via Darwin Nurseries & Farm Shop). 94 Experimental cocktails made, and tasted, at the Cambridge Gin Laboratory on Green Street. 95 Hastily assembled punt picnic and emergency Pimm’s (assorted suppliers around the city).
96 The Tin Kitchen’s halloumi and roasted vegetable filled ciabatta. 97 The Al Chile food truck is something of a will-o’-the-wisp on the Cambridge scene, but the carnitas burrito I had from there a few years ago means I still keep a beady eye out for them when I’m in the mood for some top-notch Mexican food. 98 Fried dumplings from the Cambridge Market dim sum stall. 99 Cold beers from the fridge at Bacchanalia. 100 And finally, a brand new one: it might be coffee and pastries, huevos rancheros, yoghurt or granola, but staff breakfast every Saturday at Vanderlyle is the food memory I look forward to making many more of over the next few years.
