where it all started…. 50 oysters 🦪 💕 how many could you genuinely eat? #oysters #oyster #oystergirl #seafood #London #oysterlover

I am German and I used to live in berlin so here are 6 of my favourite places to eat in the city No1 this is rogue, but you have to try the mettbrötchen at Junge die Backeriei in Mitte. It’s raw pork on bread roll, it’s very German and a must. No2 Liu Chuan Chuan Xiang nudelhaus in Mitte, you’ll recognise it by the long queue stretching out the door at lunchtime. It’s Sichuan food, I always get the tongue numbing spicy pork won ton soup, I love this spice, it makes your mouth prickle and feel fuzzy. No3 Turkish market In krezubherg. It’s on every Tuesday and friday and you can get fruit, vegetables, cured meats, unbelievable spreads, raw meat, Turkish baked goods, pickles and really good coffee. No4 you cant come to Berlin and not have a doner.I think most döner stalls are pretty decent especially compared to in the UK where the kebab meat is super processed, smooth and doesnt look edible. I always have garlic and yoghurt sauce on my doner, it costs between 5 and 7 euro and don’t forget aran, which is a salty yoghurt drink. No5 berlin burger international in Neukölln, I didnt go this time but the halloumi burger is out of this world. No6 sahara, sudanese food also in Neukölln. They make pita sandwiches with a choice of falafel, chicken halloumi or a combination of these. Each pita costs around €5 and comes with an unbelievable peanut sauce which has to be eaten to be believed. #berlin #berlinfood #berlinlebt #berlincity #solotravel #solodate

Replying to @Amyfuchsia this is how you eat oysters: If your oyster arrives still attached to the adductor muscle, use the small fork provided to slide beneath the flesh and detach it / release it from the shell. add some dressing, I like the shallot mignonette or lemon and tabasco and then throw it with gusto into your mouth - I like to chew it two or three times - and then swallow. I don’t include footage of me chewing and swallowing oysters because it would make the videos 3 times longer and it’s not very interesting to watch. We are at Sam’s waterside where the oysters come detached from the shell already. Now I have your attention, here are 7 fun oyster facts 1) Oysters are typically eaten while still alive, as freshness is key to both safety and quality. 2) They are gender-fluid, capable of changing sex throughout their lives—often beginning as males and later transitioning to females. 3) Oysters have existed since the Triassic period, over 200 million years ago. Some ancient species grew up to 12 feet long. 4) Humans have been eating oysters since prehistoric times, with evidence of cultivation dating back to the Roman Empire. 5) Though oysters are animals and not considered vegan, some vegans and vegetarians choose to eat them, arguing that their lack of a central nervous system suggests they do not feel pain. 6) An oyster can live for up to 20 years. 7) a single oyster can filter as much as 50 gallons of water per day #oyster #oysters #austern #oystergirl #oysterlover #seafood #london #londonlife #hammersmith #samsriverside

How is my stomach after so many oysters? Have I ever eaten a bad oyster? Why do I eat so many ‘ocean bogeys’? #oysters #oyster #London #seafood #londonlife #oystergirl #mukbang #mukbangeatingshow #mukbangvideo

Hello friends its time for another solo date Today I am going to a 3 course cookery class at the Woodspeen cookery school in Newbury. It’s 1 hour on the train away from London. This is how it works, you arrive everyone has their own station and the chef leading the class cooks at the front of the room and then you copy what they do at your own station. I chose to do the Woodspeen classics course, where we cooked their most popular starter, main and pudding off the restaurant’s menu. This was chicken terrine with a shallot chutney and soda bread, lamb with asparagus, pesto potatoes and romanesco sauce and panna cotta with rhubarb compote and digestive biscuit. Everyone else there was a couple so I think it is more fun if you go with a partner, friends of family. There are also other courses that focuss on curries, beef wellingtons, afternoon tea and baking, meat butchery, French cuisine and more. It costs £165 for a 4/5 hours course They also offer corporate and team building classes too. (Invite) #solodate #cookerylesson #cooking #baking #thewoodspeen #newbury #berkshire

Oyster flight time with some crisp pairings: 1) taki fuego + creme fraiche + lime 10/10 enjoyable but predictable, there was no way this wouldn’t work 2) pickled onion crisps + honey + parsley + Parmesan + Worcestershire sauce 9/10 flipping amazing, lots of depth and texture and unusual flavours 3) salt and vinegar + black pepper + shallot mignonette + capers + nori flakes 4.5/10 just really boring an one note - too vinegary (shocking coming from me) and lacking anything special / devoid of interesting flavours #oyster #oysters #oystergirl #oysterflight #tastetest #cooking #seafood #oystershucking #takis #crisps

My 3 favourite cafes in Berlin 1. cafe pfortner in Wedding (lunch and evening drinks in a converted bus) 2. Shakespeare and sons in Friedrichshain (English language bookshop selling bagels) 3. Mein Haus am See in Mitte (cool Cinema-esque bar with a club) #berlin #solotrip #solodate #germany #deutschlandtiktok #berlincity #berlinlebt #berlinfood #berlincafe

I’m German, and today I’m heading to the capital of the VATERLAND—Berlin—for a week-long solo trip. My flight’s at 10am from Stansted because, now that I’m in my thirties, I no longer book flights that require a 3am wake-up. I don’t hate myself that much. I got the stansted express from Liverpool Street and guys I did vow never to fly Ryanair again, but when faced with a £60 flight versus £320 on BA, the choice was made for me. That said, screw Ryanair—this exact flight was £34 the day before, and when I booked, it had doubled. That’s almost as rude as paying £4.05 for a flat white. Yes, there’s an airport premium, but at what point are we making a stand? Soon, we’ll be paying £6 or £7 unless we start protesting. Anyway, Berlin is so much cheaper than London, which is a huge part of the appeal and the plan is to revisit my favourite restaurants, check out some galleries and museums, and, of course, go clubbing. Berlin nightlife is unparalleled. But if you’re planning a visit, don’t come in January like me, come between May and October—the rest of the year, the city turns into a grey, depressive hole. also LOL at the airport which looks like a hardcore techno club. Once you arrive at the airport, it’s a 40 min train into the city centre. A week’s travel pass costs €44.50, and you need to buy and stamp your ticket before boarding, If you don’t, it’s a €60 fine—no exceptions even for tourists. The ticket inspectors show no mercy—I saw three people get fined within seconds of leaving the station by plainclothes inspectors.

Solo dates ep 22: secret / lost / disused parts of the London Underground. I went to Baker Street to learn about all the history of the station hidden in plain sight as well as a rundown of the history of TfL in its early days. here's how it works we met our guides at the Sherlock Holmes statue, and headed into the secret and disused parts of the station some of which are hidden in plain sight for example just off the modern westbound platform you'll find abandoned rooms that once served as passenger waiting rooms complete with a fireplace and even a men’s loo we also explored a disused lift shaft made of wood which was closed when the station became too busy and then was replaced with escalators and now serves as a ventilation shaft this tour explores the history of Baker Street and the early days of public transport in London. The tube was the world's first underground railway and initially ran steam powered tubes with first class carriages where tickets cost 6 pence and regular tube passengers were nicknamed sewer rats! there also used to be a London Transport Rifle club within Baker Street and you can see the disused rifle range here and London Transport used to grow food for the employees in their own farms this tour was so much fun it was basically a 90 minute history lesson tickets cost £45 you can do tours of other stations too and you can book it through London Transport Museum #hiddenlondon #secretlondon #bakerstreet #abandonedplaces #hiddeninplainsight #London #londonlife

I am German and I used to live in berlin so here are the 3 best historical things to do in the capital Number 1 a 2-hour tour called under the Berlin Wall, where you'll discover how people in East Berlin escaped to the West during the Cold War, using underground train tunnels, sewers, and passageways they dug beneath the Wall. You’ll also see one of the original escape tunnels. The tour stops at Bernauer Strasse, where markers indicate the site of a 150-metre tunnel used by 57 East Germans to flee in October 1964. Across the city, plaques commemorate its history—keep an eye out for circular ground markers showing where people were shot while attempting to cross from East to West Sadly youre not allowed to take photos on the tour. It’s run by Berliner Unterwelten and they offer lots of other historical tours so go check them out. Number 2: A tour of the German Reichstag, where you learn about the history of the building and you can see Soviet-era graffiti written in Russian, left behind after the building was captured by Soviet forces toward the end of World War II. Examples include phrases like “Death to the Germans” and “The Russians were here and always beat the Germans.” if you can read russian let me know what you can see in these clips. The graffiti remained largely forgotten until 1995, when it was rediscovered and incorporated into the building's redesign. A third of the Reichstag had been destroyed during the war, and British architect Norman Foster won the commission for the restoration, which was completed in 1999. You also get to go into the Plenary Chamber which is the German equivalent of the House of Commons. If you book a tour via the Bundestag website it is free and includes access to the open-air glass dome with 360° views of the city. Register in advance for a tour (available in English and German) and bring your passport for security. Number 3: The Stasi Museum in Lichtenstein, housed in the former Stasi headquarters. The Stasi (short for Ministry for State Security) was responsible for espionage, surveillance, and repressing opposition in east germany from 1950 to 1990. The museum displays original Stasi surveillance equipment, like Part of a living room door with built in Stasi wiretap… Wallet fitted with a hidden miniature camera to take clandestine pictures of the population… A Stasi scent jar which contains scent samples from individuals under surveillance to identify and track them. There are also documents, photos, and personal stories of those affected. . Many rooms have been preserved to reflect the time, including the office of Erich Mielke, the head of the Stasi, the offices of his closest aides and a large conference room. It just shows how banal evil can look. Tickets cost £10—this is a must-visit. #berlin #berlinhistory #germany #germanhistory #ddr #gdr #thingstodoinberlin #deutschland
