In London, you are predominantly in search of some things. The things vary from a night bus that takes you home to a repairperson, a pub serving food after 10 p.m. to a coffee shop with proper lemon cake, a table outside; a quiet hood, a roommate, a washer-dryer, a sewing machine. Me, I am searching for Mexican food, AKA burritos, tacos, enchiladas (and the list goes on).My perpetual forage started a few years ago when Crazy Homies in Notting Hill shut down. That spot was a superb combo of casual yet chic, serving the finest Tex-mex style wraps, a place where the dinner before the party at <a fr-original-style="" href="https://www.instagram.com/trailerh/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color: rgb(9, 9, 9); text-decoration: none; background-color: transparent; outline: none; cursor: pointer; transition: color 0.3s ease 0s; touch-action: manipulation; user-select: auto; box-sizing: border-box;" target="_blank">Trailer Happiness</a> becomes a night in, around the table, ordering more tequila. I loved that scene so much that I offered to buy their carafe and shot glasses on multiple occasions, I helped them wipe the tables so I could stay until they closed. It didn’t matter that it was outside of my range for nights out, which is anywhere further away than a 30-minute bus drive home. For Crazy Homies, we would tolerate changing buses, waiting for long-overdue tubes, the drunk crowd(s) after 2 a.m.Since their “adieu”, reasons yet unknown, I’ve been searching for my next destination where the carrots and onions are pickled, guacamole is served accompanied by oven cooked tortilla chips, black beans with the exact right amount of cumin. Until that announcement, here is a list of Mexican savours for when you are craving tacos.<img src="https://images.aposto.com/2022/8/6/1663402464086.jpeg" style="display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; width: 100%; max-width: 550px; border-style: none; position: relative; cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; box-sizing: border-box;" width="550" ratio="0.75" fr-original-style="display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; width: 100%; max-width: 550px;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable">Tacos Padre, Borough Market<hr fr-original-style="" style="height: 0px; overflow: visible; border-bottom: none; clear: both; user-select: none; break-after: page; box-sizing: border-box;"><a fr-original-style="" href="https://www.instagram.com/tacospadre/?hl=en" style="color: rgb(9, 9, 9); text-decoration: none; background-color: transparent; outline: none; cursor: pointer; transition: color 0.3s ease 0s; touch-action: manipulation; user-select: auto; box-sizing: border-box;" target="_blank">Tacos Padre</a>,&nbsp;Borough Market:&nbsp;That al fresco taqueria is my go-to place after a visit to Tate Modern.

<h2>Son dokunuşlar</h2>• Şarküteride mimari akım: Malzemeleri topladınız, beş şartı yerine getirdiniz. Peki bu malzemeleri tahtanıza nasıl dizeceksiniz? Şarküteri tahtalarını bir yandan göz alıcı olması bir yandan da kolaylıkla yemeğe teşvik etmesi lazım. Eğer Escher-vari mimari imkansızlıklar yaratmışsanız, sofranızı paylaşanlar istedikleri kombinasyonlarda tahtanızla etkileşime geçemez. Tavsiyemiz tahtanıza malzemeleri azar azar gruplar hâlinde yayarak çeşitlilik ve renk dengesi sağlamanız. Açık büfede kaçak kat çıkar gibi değil, birkaç kişiye tadımlık yetecek miktarda koyarak gerektiğinde takviyenizi yapabilirsiniz. Yani kısaca ne bienal mimarılığı ne de iş bilmez müteahhitlik şarküteri tabağında işlemez. Bob Ross amcamız gibi şuraya mutlu turşucuklar, şuraya neşeli üzümcükler koyarak dizilimi kendiniz için de zevkli hâle getirin.

Bunu yaparken elinizde cam kırılma tehlikesini göz önünde bulundurarak dikkatli olmanızı, sabrage’ın kolaylığını gösteren videolar kadar elinde patlayanların videolarını da izlemenizi tavsiye ederiz.• Balta girmemiş orman: Şarküteri tahtası bir imkan ve lezzet deryası. Tatlı ve tuzlunun, yağlı ve ekşinin birbirini dengelediği, çıtır ekmeklerle krem peynirlerin, sere serpe serilen etlerle kıtır kuruyemişlerin ağızda bir araya geldiği bir keyif ekosistemi. Herkesin farklı kombinlerle kendi tat serüvenine çıktığı balta girmemiş bir orman. Köpüklünüzü, asidik beyazınızı, tanenli kırmızınızı, tatlı şarabınızı tahtanın yanına hazır edip dostlarla bu maceraya çıkmak da gizli gastronomi dehalarının en sevdiği etkinliklerden. Sizin de damak dehanızın parladığı bir akşam olması dileğiyle.
