A spicy tuna and a dynamite roll plus nice bowl of miso soup with clams in it.

That sounds good! In the '70s The Only Seafood Restaurant on E Hastings would dish up about 3 dozen steamed clams, a bowl of broth and a bowl of melted butter, and garlic toast for something like $3.50 or $4.00. Businessmen from Granville St would walk down and wait in line with the winos.

Its brilliant, normally I just order it online and then pop downstairs to pick it up, but you have to call down if want miso soup.

ESB is very nice indeed. A bit more kick that Pride. For slightly more kick but without a jet-fuel taste, McEwan's Champion is a worthy brew. Either go well with a fine M&S horse burger.

Went home for lunch and had my friend over. I made a ham and shrimp salad with tomatoe, red onion, coriander, leaf lettuce and shredded mozza then toasted up a couple of tortillas and made wraps out of it with (I used) salsa and Frank's Red Hot.

A very fragrant chickpea curry, basmati rice, a pice of naan and large slice of birthday cake for my pudding that I lifted from a party of a six year old on Sunday afternoon. Too much sugar is not good for them anyway.

I had a Western Wrap...a man at work was going out and brought it back for me from a whole food cafe, I didn't know what was in it when I looked at it, and was even less sure once I'd eaten it. I was completely unable to work out any of the constituent parts:

That sounds very worrying and not at all attractive.

I had a home-roasted chicken and avocado salad, along with a toasted onion and poppy seed skinny bagel thing, which was lovely.

Unfortunately not, but sometimes I'll try.
Long version: I liked most Mexican food when I was there but a lot of it was totally unfamiliar. Refrigeration was scarce. In Oaxaca there was a place halfway down the hill to town from the city wall that had a sign with a picture of a roast chicken on it, and they sold whole or half chickens with potatoes and tortillas and I used to go once in awhile just because it was something I recognized. At the bottom of the hill a lady who had a fish stall in the Saturday market sold shrimp cocktails in a little tienda, and that's where I first ate raw oysters. Though landlocked, Oaxaca is close to both Atlantic and Pacific oceans and on Saturday morning the pescadorias in the market were incredible because refrigerated trucks had been rolling in overnight from both oceans. One of my strongest memories is the haze over the city just after dawn from thousands of charcoal fires and the smell of the charcoal and the day's tortillas being cooked on convex steel discs.
