Hello and welcome,
I have decided to start a blog! I’ve never really felt confident enough to put myself out there through writing but I feel like that’s silly so I’m going to give it a go purely for my own enjoyment.
Something that my friends and family certainly know about me is how passionate I am about dinner. From the moment I wake up to the moment before it’s ready, best believe that’s what I’m thinking about. So, in the spirit of this, that is the focus of this blog; food. More specifically, food I have enjoyed, pubs I like to visit, good coffee and really anything else that tickles my fancy.
As of this month I’ve just completed my degree at Edinburgh Uni so a lot of my interest in food is centred there, however, I also live in York so will probably also focus on that too. In terms of Edinburgh, I’ve very recently (yesterday and today) realised my ignorance towards areas that I think have some of the real gems of Edinburgh food. These places are Leith and Stockbridge!
This will most likely come as a surprise to no one who has any real knowledge of Edinburgh as a city, but I think because I’m here to study and am perpetually skint, my knowledge of great food places is sort of limited to Marchmont, the Uni campus, Newington and the city centre. However, all of this being said, I would still like to put my hat in the ring about which ones I think are worth going to. By this, I don’t necessarily mean the places which are all over social media, or the tourist traps I mean the sort of places that you actually want to go when you visit or live in a city.
So, without further ado, I will introduce my first proper post which is going to be mapping my ULTIMATE Edinburgh pub crawl!
Thank you for reading!
