Eating

Here’s the usual food-related content for the month. We hadn’t had Chinese in a very long time and I was craving egg-fried rice for some reason. One day, we were running errands and didn’t have time to prepare lunch to bring with us beforehand, so we decided to look for…

In June we visited a lovely Mexican street food restaurant in the heart of Edinburgh – El Cartel. There are two locations around the city and the one we chose was El Cartel Teviot, right next to McEwan Hall. We went there with friends, which made the whole experience even…
