The Elbow Room

On Thursday night, Julian, Matthew and I met up with Todd, for a spot of pool at The Elbow Room in Angel. Turns out that Todd is quite the master of pool, and in the end he and Matthew beat Julian and I by at least a few games – not that anyone was really keeping track!

Ironically, we ate dinner that night at a place a little down the road which, on a glowing bright yellow sign, promised “English and Caribbean Food”. Seemed like an odd combination, but my jerk chicken levels were dangerously low, so we decided to give it a whirl. Turned out not to be too bad, though the chicken was more bone than meat, and the jerk sauce didn’t have enough kick.

The highlight of the experience was definitely when Matthew boldly strode up to the counter and ordered, “the same thing that Gerrod’s having”. To everyone’s surprise, the lady behind the counter didn’t know who Gerrod was; but she gave him a large jerk chicken with rice and peas, anyway.
