Since popping up, there has been a flood of internet buzz building around it. Those stuffed trotters are no longer just urban legend, for a fleeting moment in time, you could taste the Koffman genius once more. Given the occasion, I’d imagine many of the gastro fanatical would be in attendance. Along with my partners in crime Athos, Porthos & Aramis - we made reservations for a Monday evening.
Obika, official site 400 Oxford Street W1A 1AB +44 (0) 870 837 7377 I’m a real sucker for quirky things. I like eating in total darkness and I jumped at the chance to sample a mozzarella bar cheekily tucked away in the middle of the women’s clothes floor inside Selfridges. Before you pass judgement over the author – I’m not a bird watching freak – I’m really here to sample the finest Italian dairy delights
Square pie , Selfridges 400 Oxford Street W1A 1AB, 020 7318 2460 £5 per pie , £6.99 meal deal with mash, gravy, mushy peas and the whole nine yards. The selfridges food hall is still a thing of wonder ladies and gentlemen. It’s been there for quite a while now -square pie I mean- and it’s continued to grow. Having said that, there are still only just six outlets to eat the pie which is so good, it’s square. I wonder why that is because the pies are affordable and taste really good. Maybe it’s because they are breaking too many rules. In addition to squaring the pie – they recommend you eat their pies with mash, mushy peas… and gravy. Alright, alright, you want to see the pie don’t you? Oh, that’s abit of a long shot, you want a close shot do you? Before we zoom in, I was wondering if you were familiar with ‘unboxing pictures’ . Forgive me if I’m being patronising: whenever a new mac product gets released the whole web ( flikr and facebook rather ) starts clocking up bandwidth with lots and lots of pictures of customers uploading literally unboxing pictures of aforementioned brand spanking new mac product. Here is an example. They also tend to stick a ‘first impressions’ commentary on how much saliva has trickled since they opened their new toy
