But everyone has an opinion on what makes the perfect burger. Have you tried the burger at Bob Bob Ricard? it's seriously good, and is a real contender when compared against Goodman's and Hawksmoor's offerings.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04111357339779405801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376945012109352112.post-83953800568941779822010-05-24T17:31:07.967+01:002010-05-24T17:31:07.967+01:00The piggie is absolutely exceptional.

Sorry gotta disagree with you on London's best burger. My vote is for Bar Boulud's piggie followed by Goodman and The Hawksmoor ranks 3rd.Katie Parlahttp://www.parlafood.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376945012109352112.post-55642199378603493272010-05-20T10:40:47.398+01:002010-05-20T10:40:47.398+01:00Su-Lin - 'The List' hahaha - my 'The L...Su-Lin - 'The List' hahaha - my 'The List' is ever expanding.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04111357339779405801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376945012109352112.post-18388317812260258722010-05-19T19:17:38.917+01:002010-05-19T19:17:38.917+01:00And it goes on the list!And it goes on the list!Su-Linhttp://tamarindandthyme.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376945012109352112.post-47312477116025879582010-05-18T14:22:13.526+01:002010-05-18T14:22:13.526+01:00Lizzie - Yep, looks as good as it tasted.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.<br /><br />Thanks, and as for pulled pork - I swear I didn't look this up on Wiki and I can just reel information off at will - thus:-<br /><br />Pulled pork is a form of barbecue originating in Mexico. It is known as Carnitas in Mexico. It is a method of preparation in which pork, usually shoulder cut (sometimes referred to as Boston butt) or mixed cuts, is cooked using a low-heat, long-cook method. With these extended times at low temperatures, the meat becomes tender enough that its weakened connective tissue allows the meat to be "pulled", or easily broken into individual pieces.<br /><br />and *breathe*.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04111357339779405801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376945012109352112.post-23677421884178750202010-05-12T08:46:12.432+01:002010-05-12T08:46:12.432+01:00I don't know, you boys and your big cameras, t...I don't know, you boys and your big cameras, thwumping them on tables for all the world to see ; )<br /><br />Great review mate, having been hearing about this "pulled pork" a lot lately, what exactly is it?Food Urchinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02453819598450656718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376945012109352112.post-22989227987177164642010-05-12T07:28:25.429+01:002010-05-12T07:28:25.429+01:00Fran - Thanks.
