The recipe was created by Byron Ayanoglu, who was Mick Jagger’s private chef.
According to Bryan’s bio he has always shared his prandial pleasures with his readers if not necessarily his food. As there’s not many prandialists left, it feels right to spread the love…
This is just a gratuitous opportunity to show an overseas product with a vulgar name, like Fanny (for instance). Do they do it deliberately? Perhaps John West is slang in the Philippines for a penis? If anyone knows any western products which mean things in Asia I’d be interested to find out.

This recipe pretty much speaks for itself. It is a feast for any gourmand, but preferably a blind gourmand with an impaired sense of smell, and maybe even a strong head cold. It resembles, in many ways, a forensic scene at a fishmongers rather than something you’d have for dinner. There goes the Masterchef award for another year.
Look out for the double chip cookies and the Jamacian jerk chicken. That’s the advertising standards authority for you.

Whether cheering on Andy Moray, or starring in films like The Rock, this Scottish recipe is fish-pun dynamite.
Known for playing a debonair spry with a licence to krill, the recipe should be neither shaken or stirred, but is best avoided in it’s entirety. It is technically edible, but by God you’d need thunder balls to try it.
If he’s a cross between Biff Tannen and a Bond villain you would hope there’s a Marty or 007 trying to stop him. This is an article about Trump’s food empire, mainly discontinued and so far not delving into Mexican cuisine. Mainly posted it though for the remark from FatMrRobot. Lovely work.
Could be just an urban pith but here’s an article alleging that there’s a cure for cancer which is made from peaches, but it’s been covered up as it cannot be patented.
But if you’re not interested in that, here’s a picture some rude fruit. Laughter is said to be the best cure of all!

It only makes sense that Hemingway would tire of shooting fish at some point, and settle himself down for a nice, slow-moving animal like a cow.
Below is his recipe for an ultra-manly, super-robust burger. If you’re out of Mei Yen and Beau Monde just make it up and add something else.
Ingredients–
1 lb. ground lean beef
2 cloves, minced garlic
2 little green onions, finely chopped
1 heaping teaspoon, India relish
2 tablespoons, capers
1 heaping teaspoon, Spice Islands sage
Spice Islands Beau Monde Seasoning — 1/2 teaspoon
Spice Islands Mei Yen Powder — 1/2 teaspoon
1 egg, beaten in a cup with a fork
About 1/3 cup dry red or white wine
1 tablespoon cooking oil
What to do–
Break up the meat with a fork and scatter the garlic, onion and dry seasonings over it, then mix them into the meat with a fork or your fingers. Let the bowl of meat sit out of the icebox for ten or fifteen minutes while you set the table and make the salad. Add the relish, capers, everything else including wine and let the meat sit, quietly marinating, for another ten minutes if possible. Now make your fat, juicy patties with your hands. The patties should be an inch thick, and soft in texture but not runny. Have the oil in your frying pan hot but not smoking when you drop in the patties and then turn the heat down and fry the burgers about four minutes. Take the pan off the burner and turn the heat high again. Flip the burgers over, put the pan back on the hot fire, then after one minute, turn the heat down again and cook another three minutes. Both sides of the burgers should be crispy brown and the middle pink and juicy.

This is a quirky recipe enjoyed most evenings in the Ecuadorian embassy. It is basically a lasagne with finely sliced carrots placed upon the top, and is inspired by the founder of Wickedleeks – a community of Welsh allotment enthusiasts, which has spread to include lovers of outsized vegetables across the world.

A cafe in London that only serves cereals has been attacked during a protest about affordable housing.
Paint was thrown at the Cereal Killer Cafe and the word “scum” was sprayed on one of its front windows.
The Metropolitan Police says one of its officers was injured by a bottle and one person was arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage.
“The mob won’t win, wearing masks with pitch forks and torches, it’s 2015 #hatecrime,” tweeted the cafe’s owner.
The owners later tweeted: “We started a business to deliver an experience to cereal lovers, and have been thanked by local businesses for bringing tourists to the area.”
As well as the Cereal Cafe, the window of a branch of Marsh & Parsons estate agents was also cracked during the “anti-gentrification” protests.
The Cereal Killer Cafe was opened by brothers Alan and Gary Keery in Brick Lane last November.
One of the owners were questioned by Channel 4 News shortly after opening but cut the interview short after being pushed on whether local people could afford its prices.
Imported American cereals range from £3 per bowl to £4.40 with premium milk and toppings extra. It also serves toast and drinks as well as cereal cocktails.
Also open in London are a board game cafe, a cat cafe, a dog cafe, a milkshake bar and a cafe that charges customers based on how long they stay rather than what they eat or drink.
