Thanks to those lovely people at Wahaca we have had free chilis all summer long. The original plants have long outgrown the kitchen window sill and are now sitting by the French windows in the lounge to catch the best of the winter sunshine. They are still in flower and fruiting even if they are […]
The Mexican summer for Shipscooksstuff continued tonight at Canada Square in Canary Wharf, where the brand spanking new Wahaca Mexican Street Kitchen is parked up bringing Mexican street food to the well heeled streets of London’s Docklands. The kitchen is in a refurbished 1958 Citroen HY van complete with a charcoal grill and for today […]
So far we have had two nice big chili peppers on the plants grown from the seeds that our favourite Mexican street food restaurant Wahaca gave us, this is one of them here He has just given his life to spice up some onion soup and very good it was too, but do not despair […]
When we got back from Scotland yesterday, I was delighted to discover that the chili plants, we had grown from the seeds given to us by Wahaca (our favourite Mexican restaurant), were starting to flower. Hopefully we will soon have lots of lovely little home grown chilis. Mind you that wasn’t the only evidence of […]
One of my favourite restaurants is Wahaca. There are about four branches in London and so far we have tried the one in Docklands at Canary Wharf and the one in Wardour Street in the west end.

London’s South Bank has moved on a long way since I were a lad.

Eat all kind of horrible things out of the mud from the exposed bed of the Thames at low tide. We spotted two species of gull from London’s South Bank on Saturday. I was rather pleased with this picture I took of a juvenile herring gull at the extreme range of my camera lens. curiously […]
It was our friend Mr Wolfe’s special birthday on Saturday so we decided to treat him to a meal out in that there London Town. It was also a special day in London’s Chinatown. The place was rammed with people doing their last minute shopping to welcome in the Year of the Snake, but as […]
The weather here in the UK was so grim yesterday that it’s hard to believe that Sunday in London it was like this. We had returned to the Tower of London for the girls to get their ice skating session in before the daughter had to return to Edinburgh. I’m fairly familiar with the area […]
“Do you fancy going to Wahaca for lunch?”. Well it doesn’t take much in the way of temptation to get me into one of Thomasina Meirs‘s Mexican street food restaurants, even if it is at London’s newest shopping (I’m male so I don’t do hanging around in shops, OK bookshops maybe and food shops) complex […]
