Aberystwyth’s best fish & chips. Well worth the walk from anywhere in the town.

Review of Gloucester Green Market
This review of Gloucester Green Market originally appeared on Google Maps. See more reviews by Dan.
The weekday market offers the best multi-cuisine street food experience you’ll get almost anywhere: stalls as far as the eye can see serving Italian, Japanese, Indian, Goan, Ethiopian, Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese… the list goes on. Take an explore and try something new on a Wednesday or Thursday soon.
The non-food stalls are a mixed-bag. If you know what you’re looking for, you might find it. If you don’t, you might find something anyway, but don’t hold your breath.

Delicious falafel wraps (and other hot food) at fair prices, served by friendly, cheery staff.
Review of Not Dogs

Veggie fast food done right! From the hippy attitude to the delicious and imaginative ‘dogs, this is my favourite vegetarian eatery anywhere.
Review of Alpha Bar

Delicious salads made to order plus a mixture of different hot and cold foods served daily. Always includes a great vegetarian selection, so long as you get there before it sells out! Often incredibly long queues at lunchtime, and prices are a little high for what you get, but otherwise a great lunchtime venue.

Fresh sandwiches, panini and more made to order with a smile. Great value delicious food.
Review of Gurkha Village
This review of Gurkha Village originally appeared on Google Maps. See more reviews by Dan.
Delicious food whether eating-in or at home, but beware the long wait times: routinely 45 to 90 minutes for a delivery, and sometimes a little slow even if you’re sitting at a table in the restaurant!
Worth it, so long as you aren’t in a hurry. And if you order using Just Eat or a similar service, be sure to follow-up with a phone call to make sure they noticed it!
Review of Mission Burrito

Good value, lovingly-made fast food. The best burrito in Oxford. A variety of fillings available including occasional specials and always a vegetarian option. Try a taster of their different salsas and pick the one that suits you, and consider asking them to add some ‘spicy onions’ if you’d like an extra kick!
Review of Burger King
This review of Burger King originally appeared on Google Maps. See more reviews by Dan.
Just another Burger King. Often long queues (sometimes out the door) at lunchtime, but they’re generally cleared quickly. Plenty of seating across three levels (fewest seats on the ground floor, and they fill up fast: if you’ve a buggy or wheelchair it might be hard to get in at peak times), and generally kept clean and tidy.

This Tiny Country Feeds the World

In a potato field near the Netherlands’ border with Belgium, Dutch farmer Jacob van den Borne is seated in the cabin of an immense harvester before an instrument panel worthy of the starship Enterprise.
From his perch 10 feet above the ground, he’s monitoring two drones—a driverless tractor roaming the fields and a quadcopter in the air—that provide detailed readings on soil chemistry, water content, nutrients, and growth, measuring the progress of every plant down to the individual potato. Van den Borne’s production numbers testify to the power of this “precision farming,” as it’s known. The global average yield of potatoes per acre is about nine tons. Van den Borne’s fields reliably produce more than 20.
That copious output is made all the more remarkable by the other side of the balance sheet: inputs. Almost two decades ago, the Dutch made a national commitment to sustainable agriculture under the rallying cry “Twice as much food using half as many resources.” Since 2000, van den Borne and many of his fellow farmers have reduced dependence on water for key crops by as much as 90 percent. They’ve almost completely eliminated the use of chemical pesticides on plants in greenhouses, and since 2009 Dutch poultry and livestock producers have cut their use of antibiotics by as much as 60 percent…

Shared a delightful tenth anniversary meal here recently. Hadn’t booked, but despite being busy they managed to squeeze us in. Enjoyed the third-best steak I’ve ever tasted, plus delightful deserts and a range of exciting cocktails all at a price point that’s very reasonable for what you get.

McDonalds Let the Internet Create Their Own Burgers and Guess What Happened
This is a repost promoting content originally published elsewhere. See more things Dan's reposted.
McDonalds had to know what they were doing. The New Zealand branch of the franchise launched its “Create Your Taste” campaign with a special promotion: Design your own burger and get free fries and a soft drink for your trouble. Not a bad idea in theory, but then there’s the part where they let everyone share their hideous creations. There was no way that someone somewhere at the company didn’t speak up at one point and say “Hey uh, you know that the internet is just going to create the most offensive and terrible burgers possible, right?”
