Support your neighbourhood elaborate restaurant

Alimentum, opposite the cinema just after the perpetually-roadworked bridge on Hills Road, have a pudding made out of marshmallows, honeycomb, toffee, banana icecream and caramel mousse, served in a smoke-filled preserving jar. It tastes of bonfire night with bananas.

I convinced the Geek Pizza People to be Geek Elaborate-Restaurant People this week, and a good time and fantastic food seems to have been had by all. Maybe leave a few weeks to recover from the shock of the new, then propose sushi.

Sounds cool, I shall have to go sometime for smoke and bananas :-)

I'm not very impressed with Cambridge sushi, but then I am a mad conveyor-belt fan and, whilst I like fish-and-rice concoctions, I get bored quickly if that's all there is. ETA: though the place at Liverpool St station is very good and slightly handy for Cambridge...

I assume you've tried Teri-Aki and found it wanting, it's not conveyor-belt but neither is it unmitigated fish-and-rice: there are all the standard California roll-like things, there's a lovely presumably-Korean beef-wrapped-around-vegetables dish that I used to have for Sunday lunch when there was a gym class that ended Sunday lunchtime, there are several kinds of fiery Japanese curry, and all possible combinations of big or small noodles, fried or in miso soup, with fish, beef, pork or tofu are available.

Their noodles are OK, but they're not sushi, and the sushi has the same problem as all sit-down sushi, that you either order a big plate of similar fish-and-rice things or you call the waitron over 20 times. The true sublimeness of sushi is experienced only when a parade of small tasty things which you might not otherwise have tried glides past your seat. It's like tapas but with a conveyor belt, hence better.
