Vegetarian isn't a dirty word

I know im usually a champion of dead animals but today I thought i'd talk about ..........wait for it ..........veg . Yeah I said it vegematarians I think any way I recently discovered a vegetarian joint right in cardiff market. Clanceys is a rather new offering to cardiff's Culinary landscape . It comes in the shape of an indoor market stall directly under the clock facing toward the fishmonger. It does take some balls eating there for a start its not exactly traditional welsh fare , but then if it was it would probably taste like crap . However this stuff rocks (technical term) . Although I could have sat there eating all day I had to limit myself to a samosa, mushroom bourgignon pie (yeah you heard) aaaaaaand an honest to crom chimichanga. Have you ever had a chimichanga?  Its like a square samosa with chilli in, in layman's terms awesome . But as stupid as this sounds enough about the food the real news is that clancys is really trying to push what we think of as street food not a pasty or roll in sight WELL DONE HIPPIES.

Starting on a high

Hi and welcome to the first ever post on fat welshman. today we are going big and hitting the new york deli, oh yes its ham (er) time. I dont know what you know about the new york deli thus far but suffice to say the average sandwich is a days worth of food . 1:30 says the clock and boom were out the door two blocks later and we are at the hallowed door , faced with the menu I felt I should be true to the when in rome concept and go for the new yorker . After fighting through the crowd of hipsters and "cool" people I was faced with THE DELI BAR which has literally every kind of meat full stop . There were two people working there  flat out literally. there was a flurry of hands and boom a HUGE sub that was now wider than it was long  full of pastrami, slaw, lettuce, and gherkins. Got back to the desk to make a start and oh so much meat im writing this five hours later and im still full and I dont mean "no I really shouldnt ......oh go on then" I mean FULL , serious big boy full. Basically if you want alot of food for 3.80 hit the new york deli , if your watching your figure run ,run away and dont look back.
