Eastbourne and Hastings Visit

[jazzy_dave]

So as i was saying in the last blog i had these two pub visits to do, the first was in Eastbourne. There i had the new buttermilk cheese burger with chip washed down with a pint Mordue Wheat beer (4.5 % ABV) and the new Hogsback Hopping Hog IPA bottled craft ale (5.4 % ABV).





I did not finish all the chips though.

Then it was on to Hastings via the 99 coastal bus route. The John Logie Baird is so named ecause of the famous Scottish engineer and innovator. He was one of the inventors of the mechanical television, demonstrating the first working television system on 26 January 1926, and inventor of both the first publicly demonstrated colour television system, and the first purely electronic colour television picture tube.

In later years he ived in Bexhill-On-Sea , which is just a few miles from Hastings.

So at the pub i had the Vegetarian Wellington with garden peas and mashed potato, and i did manage to finish all of that, washed down with another Hogsback Hopping Hog IPA and a pint of Birrificio Italiano Bibock (6.2 % ABV).








Once done, it was then the slow haul back to Kent. Yep, a long day, but very satisfying one.

A buttermilk cheeseburger? Where is the buttermilk?

Do they all use the same plates? :p

That was my question. Inquiring minds want to know! Sound quite interesting, I've heard of using buttermilk instead of regular milk for breading/frying things, or for using it in corn bread, but never in a burger.

What is that white sauce on those chips? I do not like Catsup so I am always interested in alternatives. I use tarter sauce or ranch dressing sometimes :-)

Happy Happy Day!

It is mayonnaise - i love the sauce.

Oh OK gotcha - mayo - YUM!

Ugh, the only "pub" I have in my neighborhood is actually a fru-fru restaurant pretending to be a pub. You have to be rich to even afford to eat there. Their fries (chips) cost over $5 and come with three dipping sauces.

That sounds damn expensive just for chips.
