Has anyone on here EVER bought food on Facebook Marketplace?!

Lol had a lot of fun making this!

My mate (Burger daddy) literally buys food off Facebook Marketplace from aspiring chefs who haven't even registered a business yet.

***Edit for context:***

So she's 28 years old.
Her ONLY cooking experience is literally cooking at family gatherings and for friends.

Apparently her family and friends keep telling her she needs to make this into a business - but she hasn't had the time because she also works full-time.

She is Nigerian diaspora (lol hence the rice which she used for the rice and peas was long grain rice which is typically used to make Jollof Rice)πŸ˜…

She's booked in food inspector to come down and check her kitchen so she can get a FSA rating.

We are her first customers that aren't family or friends πŸ˜‚

****

So no food hygiene rating yet
No safety
Just a search for flavours lol.

If anyone here in the london/Kent area cooks and doesn't mind being on camera gimme a shout!

Trying out that Pink Smacks burgers shop... Orpington πŸ“Œ

Smacks in Orpington?
A regular bossmans chicken shop with smashed burgers?

I like to call these shops Bossman pro max. Most of the food tasted like it was straight from a regular morleys... Nothing wrong with that. Just nothing special.

That cheese melt sarnie tho 😏
And the nashville wings! I'll give credit where it's due.

Cz I didn't expect them to slap like that! Long story short... Spent 70 quid... Enjoyed maybe 15 quid of it πŸ˜‚

Mango infused Grapes?!

Was it too much wishful thinking for me to expect grapes which tasted like they had a hint of mango in them? πŸ˜‚

Looks like the tiktokkers got me again.

They tasted more like grape flavour grapes to me πŸ˜‚.

How does the process for making these even work lol?! Do they water them with mango juice instead of water?!

Do they inject each individual grape with mango rubicon?

I need answers! πŸ˜‚

I quite like the slow mo in the Telephoto lens at 4k 200.

Auto mode always Exposes too high on Pocket 4P

Camera Settings:

4K30 Auto Exposure (100-200ISO)

Product showcase mode on.

Everything else on Automatic except beauty mode

I just find this thing jumps at the chance to over expose a shot - kinda like the iphone 17 pro as soon as it detects your face. I tried to bring down the highlights a bit in post but I feel like it was a lost cause with the Sky and I don't really know what I'm doing when it comes to colour correction... still chasing Youtube tutorial after Youtube tutorial lol.

I've just orderd the ND filter pack - but I was kinda hoping I could just fight the brightness with the shutter speed and vibes - especially when shooting run and gun.

Anyone got any tips? perhaps I need to start off exposing or the sky? Or maybe it's a dark skin issue?

Oh did any one try that Jamaican jerk chicken festival the other day?

Quite a good day out if you look past the entrance fee.🫣

Think it was I paid Β£30 quid for my wife and I just for entry. Rum punch was Β£9.

Seemed like everyone had a meal option under Β£7? Something like that. Can't believe ITV covered it πŸ˜‚

There was some really good Caterers there - and I have to say it was actually cheaper than being in Boston Jerk centre in port land Jamaica 🀣 - I probably got bumped as soon as they heard my London accent as a foreigner lol.

Quite fun tho.

What food festivals have you guys got lined up this year?

This thing loads into games quite quickly actually...

Just some unedited footage of how long it takes to load into ratchet n clank from steam OS.

Couple of micro stutters at the beginning.
Running 1080p60 high settings.

Pretty decent performance. What ya think?

Umm we're getting NIGHT MARKETS In London now?!

Video:
Sydenham Night Market
Free entry?!
Bring your own drinks?!

Was literally coming back from another food blog in crystal palace and drove past this is Sydenham.

Literally right outside Sydenham station!
They had a couple food vendors there with some other people selling sweet treats.

Very nice use of the space for the community if you ask me. Didn't get to try all the vendors as I had already eaten but thought we'd at least try the Caribbean spot which was averagely okay. Kinda like home cooking really.

Are there other night time food markets in London that I don't know about?

Play time cut short this Morning 😭

I'm honestly pretty happy playing most games at 1080p on my TV.

Whenever I force the system to use 4k I always have issues.

Firving indies into 4k is usually not an issue.. But then again I'm playing an indie... What's the point of having a pixel game in 4k LOL?!

I've not run into anything it can't play at 1080p yet... But annoyingly it always defaults most of my games to 1080p ultra low settings.

What's everyone's comfort settings atm?

I don't see much sea food recommendations in this Sub?

Perhaps I've not been looking hard enough. I see the odd fish n chips recommended but nothing more than that...

Any pescatarian friendly Resturants to suggest?

I really liked Shrimp Shack in Streatham, Truro in Streatham and more recently this spot called Hot n Juicy shrimp in west Dulwich. Truro is low key my fave though 😍😍😍

I actually like prawns but I hate fighting with the shells so the fact they de-shell and de-vein them if you request it is brilliant.

Edit:
Sorry forgot to mention the place in the video is called hot n Juicy shrimp, right next to West Dulwich station.

Prawns are really big and massive here! They do all that crab stuff too but I'm not really bothered about all that shell cracking Lol! Deffo one to add to your list.

Looks like 'Munch boxes' are becoming more of a thing down south?!

This one's in Chatham Kent...

Not too far from the station. I saw the deal on the food ordering apps so I had to go check lol.

Its called curry munch.

Long story short it was all quantity over quality - although the curry was actually okay. BUT THAT NOODLE BOX. 10 QUID.

YES I paid 10 quid for noodles that cost 10p on a naan bread lol but the seasoning and spiciness was actual decent πŸ˜…

You guys seen any more munch boxes down south?

Just seen this cheeky little West African shop next to Asda in Strood, KENT.

I've been told it's actually Ghanaian spot. The lady that served me was okay.

I was gonna order a chicken Suya and a beef Suya but they had run out of chicken apparently (23rd June 1pm)

They also told me to get the beef Suya instead of the beef skewer as I get more meet for my money without the skewer taking up space in the box πŸ˜‚

Anyway 40 quid and 20 Mins later I got some food to take home.

Jollof Rice was standard non smoky type. Well flavoured but not much spice for us spice professionals.

The beef Suya was surprisingly soft and well seasoned too! They put it with onions and green peppers but I'm more used to seeing it come with onions and tomatoes.

Dunno y they literally gave me half a spoonful of coleslaw for the whole meal πŸ˜‚. Can't lie the flavours were good. I'd actually go back! Just need some pepper or more Suya powder on the grilled beef.

Is Β£10 for Jollof Rice normal?!

Finally got some hands on the new Predator Atlas

I actually like the tech they've got going on here.
Especially with the switchable triggers.

Its a shame only the extreme version gets hall effect sticks though. That should be throughout. Gonna be interesting to see what this Intel Arc g3 extreme chip can do.

At leasts it's not priced 1.6k like the claw. This one's more competitive!

What do you guys think?

How we feeling about the new MSI claw?

The design choice is definitely different.
The performance seems quite legit atm!
Only got to play a few different games on it though.

I've still got a gen 1 claw. Think I'm sticking to it.

Smashed burgers...AT MORLEYS?!

This must be some kinda weird social experiment because when I asked for a receipt they said the items are not officially on the menu yet πŸ˜‚

Apparently they started doing it 4 days ago LOL. The whole menu looks like AI LOL!

At least the burgers are 5 quid.

The loaded fries were terrible don't even bother - I didn't expect anything different from morleys but still I thought this new menu was them tryna jazz things up a bit lol.

The Bossman burger was decent... Didn't really have the texture of a smash burger but they wrapped it in foil like 5 guys πŸ˜‚

The double smash burger just tasted like any other regular morleys burger. Did they EVEN smash it?

One thing I can say us they've obviously done it from fresh coz they had me waiting a goof 15 mins for fast food πŸ˜‚

Where's the good old 6 wings and chips for Β£2 gone?
