PARTB APPROVED: WH GUIDO’S

This family-run pasta bar serves up wholesome food, at a reasonable price. The opening hours make this cafe the perfect place for a late night dinner after studying hard in the library.

THE THREE TUNS CAFE AMICI

Located on the Kingsway, this establishment is perfect for when you’re hungry, and don’t want to frequent any of the other mainstream establishments on the Kingsway. Try the paninis in particular, if you need to eat on the hoof. Otherwise the Amici breakfast is a wise choice for any meal of the day.

While the Three Tuns have increased their prices, it is still the place to be on campus when you want to see friends. Of course, we now suggest that you attend this dive ironically.

SHAKESPEARE’S HEAD One of two Wetherspoons included on this short list, this pub has a great range of real ales, that vary almost daily. While the food leaves a lot to be desired, its one saving grace is that it is cheap.

OLD BANK OF ENGLAND

A Fullers pub, here you’re guaranteed to get a great pie, and an even better pint. This is a great place to escape London’s stresses, and have a quiet afternoon to unwind.

URITES: #LSEEATS

DUCK AND WAFFLE

he Heron Tower, completed just last year, is one of the tallest skyscrapers in the City. It is very tall. So tall, in fact, that taking the elevator to the 40th floor is not for the faint heartedâ&#x20AC;Ś Its alarming rapidity is however effortless, an upwards glide to spectacular views across the whole of London.

As a new arrival, the panorama of the newly open Duck and Waffle seemed an apt symbol of my years to come at the LSE: equally inspirational and daunting, with London at once appearing limitless and minute. And it is the outlook that is the real selling point of this restaurant; in fact, much lesser eateries in the same location would find themselves busy just on ac-

count of the vista.

I was sat on a table next to the glass wall which creates the perimeter of the restaurant; although we loved it, we were told the vertigo-inducing 200 metre drop to my left was the reason that many couples asked to move somewhere else.

Duck and Waffle joins the family of convivial restaurants which offer sharing plates, ideal for someone who struggles to choose from a conventional menu.

Each is designed to be enjoyed by two or more diners, so you can try (almost) everything! The idea is to pick a range of dishes, which will be delivered to your table as and when they are ready.

We started with a rab-

bit rillette, which although pleasant enough, was lacking in depth of flavour and overwhelmed by its accompanying chutney; the octopus with chorizo and lemon was similarly one dimensional, the citrus failing to cut through the fatty, smoky sausage and the octopus remaining somewhat tough.

Fortunately, things got much better: we had a fantastic plate of Herdwick lamb cutlets, spicy, tender morsels which were perfectly balanced with a smoked aubergine puree and a yoghurt dressing. The brick oven roasted ceps were packed with umami and delicious when eaten with the warm, freshly baked house flatbread.

The star dish of Duck and Waffle is its namesake.

THE CANTON ARMS

A confit duck leg on a waffle, topped with a fried egg and mustard maple syrup.

A strange combination?

Yes. Did it work? Actually, yes. Building on the classic bacon-syrup sweet-savoury balance, the duck and waffle satisfyingly bridged the gap between main and dessert; I slathered the duck with the sweet stickiness

of the eggy sauce and devoured more than I really should haveâ&#x20AC;Ś Despite being fit to burst, I somehow made room for torrejas, a Spanish version of French toast, served with maple caramel apples and cinnamon ice cream.

BEAVER BARISTA ~ LATTE ART

hile we can’t all be hipster baristas, a good cup of coffee is, without a shadow of a doubt, an inalienable human right.

Whether you have an espresso machine at home, or can convince your local espresso bar to let you borrow theirs, here are ten tips to making your latte art (and your lattes in general) as sought after as an affordable pint at the now complete rip-off ‘student’ bar, The Three Tuns.

SXC//SamWeng

19

ONE

For god’s sake use good, cold milk. Don’t use low-fat milk and don’t use full-fat milk. A semi-skimmed 2-3% milk is perfect for steaming.

TWO

Use a proper steaming pitcher. Starbucks recently released new milk pitchers to their stores worldwide.

While I normally would rather batter myself to death with one of their stale ‘skinny’ muffins, I do have to give them credit. The size and shape of the jug counts. Get one that allows the milk to swirl in the cup so the foam on top incorporates throughout the milk.

THREE

Start your milk before you pull your espresso shots. You have at most 40 seconds to mix your espresso and milk before the espresso starts to turn. Milk on the other hand can, and should, sit. Make sure you start your milk first.

FOUR

When you start to steam your milk, start with the wand or panarello right at the bottom of the pitcher.

As it begins to hiss and bubble, move the wand higher

up the wall of the pitcher.

Finish off by tilting the pitcher on an angle, ensuring proper circulation of the milk - thus incorporating the froth into the bottom, more liquid, milk.

FIVE

Once finished, clean your steaming wand thoroughly with a clean cloth and fresh water. Purge the system to ensure no milk is trapped inside the wand.

This can also be used as a post-coitus cleansing ritual.

COCKTAIL CORNER E

ease us all into the swing of things.

As we progress through the term we will slowly get more adventurous, if you have any suggestions please feel free to impress us with your knowledge!

Beaver Bartender

SIX

Firmly hit the bottom of the jug on the counter a number of times to help the milk set and release air bubbles, then leave it while you pull your espresso.

SEVEN

Add espresso shots to your mug and then take your milk pitcher and swirl the milk around to incorporate it all together and release any remaining air bubbles. The espresso shots should be poured down the

side of your mug, to prevent any espresso air bubbles from ruining your beautiful creation.

EIGHT

Make sure the milk is an even consistency. It should be relatively thick, but still flow from the pitcher nicely.

NINE

Start just off the bottom of the mug and pour towards the centre. Fill half of the way up the mug.

NUMBER 2

PLAYGROUND VACATION 50 ml rum 1 Capri-Sun juice pouch A squeeze of lime Pour ingredients over ice , and enjoy.

TEN

Once near the top, using your wrist, shake the pitcher back and forth while dragging it towards the bottom of the rim. This will create a basic flower pattern. Try experimenting with other techniques to create interesting patterns.

Now you know how to make latte art just as well as that hipster barista at the corner espresso bar.
