Comments on: The fat and the furious http://blog.geeklawyer.org/2008/04/20/the-fat-and-the-furious/ A barrister gossips & rants on intellectual property law, the legal system and civil liberties. Mon, 08 Sep 2008 05:00:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Moon23 http://blog.geeklawyer.org/2008/04/20/the-fat-and-the-furious/#comment-20205 Moon23 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 11:14:26 +0000 http://blog.geeklawyer.org/?p=936#comment-20205 What's worse is when you see the places that serve the food in the cold light of day, with discarded industrial sized vats of Ghee; festering with rats and dried vomit. I once lived above a street in Brighton that looked down on the main Kebab run, every Friday and Saturday night Kebab wars would break out. With roaming tribal factions staggering about in an orgiastic consumption of meat, chili and fat. Mixed with sexual jealousy. How at five in the morning I would wake at dawn, and stare out to sea.. now the gulls then owned the road. Their prehistoric reptilian brains fighting over the discarded scraps from the mammals night out. A whole degraded eco-system existing on the back of the wonderful British binge drinking session. The tired soulless expression of those working behind the sweat of the donor kebab, the promise of brightly colored cans of coke with empty promises. The underlying threat of violence and unspent testosterone mixed with the anticipation of a culinary treat. Then as your mouth sinks into the fat, all the pain disappears and for one moment you can fool yourself into thinking that all is well with the world.

Packet of Crisps, anyone?!

I wouldn’t want to limit myself to any one drunken feast food though. There is a whole world of Pizza, Biyrani, keema stuffed nan’s, burgers, southern fried chicken etc. Occasionally I’ll even nibble on feta and olives, but I see these more as civilized starters, passing tributes to Bacchus to be had with wine, before the sprit of Pan can be unleashed in a full on animalistic satisfaction of my carnal desires via the consumption of Ginsters et all. Then of course the king of all foods, duel headed god of pork scratching & pork pie’s (Muslim’s may disagree). Gingsters does deserve a mention in this pantheon, although its place is a little further down mount Olympus (a bit like Eris) There is nothing wrong with the Donna Kebab in a Nan, as a vehicle for the consumption of chili this works reasonably well.

The loss of Ginsters could be an unforeseen consequence of the Health fascists drive against Binge drinking. It’s a warming snippet of life in modern Britain.

You do realise you have my permission to shoot me for stating the blindingly obvious,don't you?! With respect to staggering into an all nite convenience in search of Ginsters following a bit of a Sesh,Moon, what ever happened to the good old fashioned Doner Kebab in Naan Bread?! I can recommend an exceptionally FINE establishment on Tottenham Court Road, should you wish to try their wares. It's kill or cure......

But whether pastry/pie/sausage roll, it is all good at 2 in the morning after kicking out time. Ah how familiar this scene must be to so many.

Forget about the olives and Riojca for one moment. Imagine yourself perhaps drunk in a city centre after drinking copious amounts of beer, Now head towards the bright lights of a nice open late convenience store. The type that hire 1 million watt bulbs to be-dazzle the unwary. Now stumble over to the refrigerated section, moving past the multi-pack cokes that are being sold individually. If you have found the diary products you are in the right area.. scan down...and reach your hand out.. if you pick-up some cheese strings then repeat this process. Eventually you will stumble across one of Ginster's varied and exciting lines of meat products. It could be a pasty, it could be a pie. It could even be some strange pastry/pie/sausage roll hybrid. http://www.ginsters.com/index.htm Charon,
