There’s a right way to go for lunch during your break at work, and, if you’re in Aberystwyth, this is it.
Starter
I started in Scholars, where Matt (in the Hat) is spending the entire day as a birthday celebration. I treated Matt to a pint
of Guinness, and had a half myself, thereby giving myself probably a full lunch’s worth of calories. But never mind. Matt was trying to teach his friend Dave to play cribbage, with moderate success dulled only by the alcohol both had consumed. Matt’ll be in Scholars until they close, I don’t doubt, so if
you haven’t wished him a happy birthday yet, that’s where you’ll find him.
Main Course
I’ve recently discovered the sandwiches of Morgan’s, the butchers opposite Barclays on Great Darkgate Street. You go in there and
mutter “beef” to the chap, who then slices a generous bun and fills it with roast beef, a Yorkshire pudding, fried onions, and thick gravy. It’s a roast beef dinner… in a sandwich!
Genius! Apart from the obvious mess it makes to eat it, it’s fantastic.
Dessert
And to finish: back to The Hot Bread Shop on the corner of Cambrian Place and Chalybeate Street for a slice of orange cake. And now I’m very full. Marvellous.
I’m hungry.
I remember that place from last summer. The smell of rotting meat wafting through the open doors kind of put me off though, and I haven’t dared go back since
Anyway, I thought lunch was meant to involve spaghetti hoops?
Mmm, I love the smell of those meat rolls.
I want one right now.
