Especially since the ground hosted the Vegfest last year. I was disappointed that City failed to respond to the opportunity to provide decent vegan fare to the growing number of people choosing to buy non-animal products. This is not a trendy fad, it is a shift in consciousness. Predictably poor attendance, continues to be very much the interest of a tiny minority.

TBW Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 As decent as the pizza is, I sometimes feel they're trying too hard to be gourmet. These are football and rugby fans. Give them easy options rather than having to read what every topping is. Margharita Pepperoni Meat Feast Veggie Hawaiian Simple menu would make it a shit load easier. Never heard anyone say, "you know what, I'd really love a nduja, chilli and flor di latte pizza right about now." Less gimmicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being funny mate...but Pizza is the common mans food. Who sticks pineapple on a pizza? Idiots in this country and the States, that's who....I'm glad they are keeping it traditional, and not going down the Domino's route. As for it being 'football and rugby' fans...what difference does that make? Many will have been to Italy or tried traditional Italian Pizza in this country. Especially with the advent of Easy Jet and Ryanair from Bristol. Everything on that pizza is what the common man eats in Italy, and from the poorer regions. So it's not la de da. Then consider how many Food programmes are on prime time tv these days...the common man is far more educated these days in food from around the world. Don't dumb people down...keep educating and making people try different things and experiences. Just because it's football and rugby, it doesn't mean we have to be stuck in the 70's. No offence...but I hate reverse snobbery...especially when it's the poorer mans food. Fair play to everyone trying authentic food and appreciating it's quality.

This is not a trendy fad, it is a shift in consciousness. I'm guessing you were meaning conscience. That said, I nearly lost consciousness with the snooze fest reference to vegfest. Be vegan, by all means. But remember - only other vegans give a **** That you're a vegan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a speciality spreadable salami from the southern state of Calabria. Personally, I didn't like it much because it was very spicy - too hot for my taste. Surprising!

CyderInACan Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 Always found the Sports Bar & Grill and then the Doughballers a bit of an enigma. When the SBG was first opened it was a 7-day a week affair I think. They used to an absolutely top drawer Sunday Roast and I also remember going there for a lunch of Burger & Chips, nursing a hangover, the day after Bris beat Doncaster in the playoffs on a Sunday to secure their ill-fated return to the Prem under Andy Robinson. Again, top food and whilst it was never rammed the standard was high. When it reopened as the Doughballers again, great food and staff, but for both incarnations it never seemed to be championed by the club - there was very little in the way of publicity locally (I live very close) or more widely within BS3 and beyond. A real shame as that could be a great little place - free parking on site and easy to get to. A part of the redevelopment that - matchdays aside - could’ve been a great community asset.

Perhaps when we see the additional development of hotels and so forth it’ll be financially viable to go back to what it was originally planned as - it’ll surely be able to make good dinner and breakfast revenues with a hotel and conference facility next door.

You miss the point of the pastry consistency - one bites the top off to drink the contents. Of course for those of us in the 70's the Clarks offered an option as one's weapon of choice. Straight from the tray the semi pressurised contents reached unfathomable temperatures and when crushed into the face of an adversary had an impact akin culinary napalm - stuck like **** to a blanket at 80 degrees plus.

Hmm, you make an interesting point. I might order a spiced rum and flakey in the pub this evening, or even a vodka and diet Clarks pie. Would make a welcome change to that cola drink that has been championed for years as a mixer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
