If I may suggest a totally level-minded and non-lunatic strategy: simply wait outside that restaurant until Leo returns, then ambush him with a genial invitation to dine with you.You know, I work in Soho, we could at least have had breakfast
Rustic gigante & chorizo baked beans, 2 poached eggs and bacon on multi grain toast at Citizens of Soho. A hardy lunch, should have been there.

bacon in america is appalling. and canada. look at how dry it looks. how stiff. you might as well eat a frazzle
1. BEEFHere's a thing though, something I only just learned, but you don't eat a lot of lamb in the US is that right? I'd always assumed it was a universally popular thing but I'm realising that more and more countries don't eat it, or at least eat it much less than I thought. What's the score in the US? How would you guys rate the relative frequency of beef, pork, lamb and (while we're at it) goat on a standard US menu?
Lamb is way the fuck behind pork. Americans eat at least 999x as much pork as they do lamb. A lot of folks here never eat it at all. Goat is even rarer. Most non-Asian, African, Caribbean, or Latinx Americans have never seen a goat before, and do not perceive them as an edible animal, even if they have.Thanks for the ranking but could you also give a ratio? Sorry to be picky but I want to know if pork is slightly ahead of lamb or does it leave it miles behind?
it's rock hard though. stiff. there's no moisture. but somehow a load of grease despite that. if you picked that bit on the right up it would stay in that twisted shape it's in. i don't know why they make it like that.The well-done-ness of bacon is a preference and though that one is right on the edge of acceptable, I will allow it. Sometimes I want it crispy, sometimes soggy, if the meat is good enough either will be acceptable. And anyway, I like frazzles. Although it may be that I'm just desperate for proper bacon after living in Portugal. It's weird that they can't do it here - especially cos pork is, I guess, the number one meat - but I could live with that, what riles me is that they won't just go "we can't do bacon" they'll give you some ham or pork scratchings or something instead and go "here's your bacon" - I'm not fucking stupid mate, I ordered bacon I know what it looks like!
