It’s an infinitely more evocative name for a humble root vegetable that has hidden depths. Today, many varieties of Beta vulgaris are grown around the world, (when was the last time YOU ate a Burpee’s Golden or a Bull’s Blood beet?) ]]> http://flatwhite.net/2007/11/nothing-vulgar-about-beetroot/feed/ 1 http://flatwhite.net/2007/08/curry-101/ http://flatwhite.net/2007/08/curry-101/#comments Sun, 19 Aug 2007 11:09:50 +0000 Guest Barista http://flatwhite.net/?p=64 http://flatwhite.net/2007/08/curry-101/feed/ 2 http://flatwhite.net/2007/08/huzzah-for-the-delocator/ http://flatwhite.net/2007/08/huzzah-for-the-delocator/#comments Fri, 17 Aug 2007 14:04:42 +0000 Matt http://flatwhite.net/?p=63 I'm disappointed to admit that since my vitriolic splutterings about Starbucks a few months back, I've done nothing to hasten the downfall of the filthy, brazen hound. Short, that is, of the odd lazy, evil eye when I amble past it's unnaturally gleaming windows on the high street. Must try harder. Some people are doing their bit though, like the helpful folk at Delocator.]]> http://flatwhite.net/2007/08/huzzah-for-the-delocator/feed/ 0 http://flatwhite.net/2007/07/dry-july/ http://flatwhite.net/2007/07/dry-july/#comments Thu, 05 Jul 2007 22:00:00 +0000 Matt http://flatwhite.net/?p=42 http://flatwhite.net/2007/07/dry-july/feed/ 3 http://flatwhite.net/2007/06/the-best-coffee-in-london/ http://flatwhite.net/2007/06/the-best-coffee-in-london/#comments Fri, 29 Jun 2007 13:46:00 +0000 Matt http://flatwhite.net/?p=38 Spacific for people to sniff and sip their way around London searching for the perfect Flat White.  Spacific is in the process of collating results and will be posting aggregated scores on their site shortly (I'll link to it when they do), but in my caffeine-addled state I ended up scratching a few notes about each of the cafes and thought I'd post the full deal here.  Note that the cafes are listed in the order visited, and the prices quoted are for double-shot Flat Whites with regular milk. ]]> http://flatwhite.net/2007/06/the-best-coffee-in-london/feed/ 14 http://flatwhite.net/2007/05/eat-your-greens/ http://flatwhite.net/2007/05/eat-your-greens/#comments Wed, 02 May 2007 21:02:46 +0000 Matt http://flatwhite.net/?p=34 http://flatwhite.net/2007/05/eat-your-greens/feed/ 1
