Guys, it’s been a great night. I am SMUG. 👶 #smug #ID #babyface

Alex @gingeybites.bsky.social · 17/07/2025

I feel very smug. Actually had an order in my McDonald’s app and willed myself away. Ended up with this kind of tuna rice bowl thing with last night’s rice and a few tasty bits and pieces. #smug #lunchoftheday

Tuna, rice, avocado with mayo, chilli oil and onion.

It’s such a mess. 😢

I agree but this is the reduced price. Not the the full value. My concern is that by pricing reduced food so highly, surely more will end up in the bin? Just crazy prices!

Food is so expensive now!!! I get that this is Waitrose so not necessarily a balanced example but even so… reduced to these prices? #costofliving #foodprices

Kickstarting a foodie weekend with lunch at QBao in #Cardiff. I had the beef ribs noodle soup and it was delicious. Made a slight tit of myself trying to drink the broth with the big wooden ladle but could you blame me? 🍜 😋 🍽️ 💫 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #noodles #lunchgoals

Loving our garden, and thankful to the previous owners who clearly knew what they were doing. Unfortunately we don’t so this is the best it’s ever going to look! 😂 #garden #flowers #summer

Bloom scrolling - what an excellent hashtag.

I’ve tried fizz and flour (and loved it!), infact we used them for our networking event at work last week 🙌 The rest is yet another excellent load of recommendations to add to my ever growing list! Thank you!

Lovely - I’ve driven past it actually but not been in yet. I believe you can’t beat a good cheese toastie and you’re right, the Costa/ Starbucks ones are sooo disappointing! Is this your blog?

#ad Do you follow Dinner with Jon on TT or IG? He’s great, and has a new cookbook out, which I was kindly sent by Meze publishing. Here’s his rather yummy Marmite & Cheddar Welsh Rarebit! 🤤 #cookbook #cheese #marmite

Alex @gingeybites.bsky.social · 25/06/2025

Brilliant, thank you! A few of these are already on the list but a couple to add now!

Let me know what you think! Any other decent suggestions around Canton? I’ve not been to Let them eat cake yet!

If you like Zapiekanka (Polish open sandwiches), I tried and loved Big Mamma’s sandwich shop on Cowbridge Road East in Cardiff today! It was absolutely delicious and Big Mamma is a brilliant character! We loved her! 😊 🇵🇱 #CardiffFood #Zapiekanka

Tried this #japchae from Starty Mart - it’s super fast ti to and the flavour is good but the noodles mostly broke up on heating and texture was a bit gloopy. Good to try but probably won’t buy again. 5/10.

80 years after the rest of you, I finally got my hands on an M&S big daddy pistachio. And… underwhelm. Not pistachio-y enough and far too sweet for my unfortunately. 😢

Do you have a #memorablemeal - one that you’ll never forget? For me, it was a rainy night in Seoul, 2018. We ate pork bbq under a canopy, surrounded by locals who’d just got off work. The food was stunning, the atmosphere amazing and I don’t think I’ve ever felt that happy.

I’m watching #BadInfluence on #Netflix, it’s about kid influencers and the pressure of their parents. As an 80’s baby I grew up in a very different world and it’s just shocking to watch!! 🫣😫

Tried Brownie God for the first time yesterday. Looks dry, is anything but. Absolutely delish but not cheap but a lovely treat! browniegod.com/products/bis...

Made a kinda lazy bouilliabasse tonight. Started by frying garlic & onions with fennel seeds, saffron and smoked paprika before adding stock & toms. After some bubbling away, I added cooked new potatoes, fish pie mix + prawns and topped with fresh basil until fish was cooked. 🍜 🍴 #recipes #food

Only Insta, threads I agree with you and Twitter is long gone. TBH I used to do a lot more than I do now - socials aren’t what they were!!

Lovely sunshiny food at the Sundial Kitchen in Totterdown. Falafel bowl for me with halloumi, picked red cabbage and garlicky flat breads. The potato rosti with kale, eggs and feta also looked delicious! #BristolFood #Brunching

Every few months we take our little boy to Pizzarova for dinner after nursery. He loves it. Tonight he chose one of the pizza’s toppings (olives, ham and pesto) and told me it was the best pizza he’s ever had. And I think he’s right. Our 3 yr old has good taste. 🍕 😋 #BristolFood #Pizza #FamilyTime
