Been a while since there’s been one of these but I couldn’t resist this Dinner For One at the Bradford Street/Alcester Street bus stop: chicken in chilli sauce with a satsuma for afters, all washed down with a refreshing can of Grolsch. Lovely.

Appears to be a rather greasy pasty or pie of some sort. Stamped on on Green Street.

Two tomatoes I found on Cheapside. Do you think I could enter them for the Dirty Bristow Summer Fete Vegetable Competition?

I’m ashamed to say this is my very own Digbeth food wastage.  My eyes were just too big for my belly when it came to this gooey muffin from Starbucks at the new Birmingham Coach Station.  I’ll be at the coach station from 6pm this evening until 6am tomorrow morning, gathering stories from New Year travelers. So if National Express are getting you to your New Year’s Eve celebrations via Digbeth tonight, be sure to seek me out and say hello!

Shameless plug: I was on BBC Radio WM this morning talking to the lovely Daz Hale about tonight’s planned adventure – you can listen again here (I’m at the tail-end of the show, roughly 2:18 in).

Pineapple and mango tango on Bradford Street. Sharp ‘n’ sweet.

By far the most minging Digbeth Food Wastage find yet.  It’s hard to tell if someone’s lost a piece of meaty shopping or an animal has dropped down dead on Bradford Street and this is all that remains.  Anyone to post a vaguely plausible comment of what on earth this might be wins a prize.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a Digbeth Food Wastage find, but I couldn’t resist this colourful fruit ‘n’ veg on Bradford Street. Carrot, lemon and banana – that’s three of your five-a-day there.

Well, it’s been a mad busy Digbeth-based weekend.  So I’ll take blogging about it day by day.  On Friday, I went to the PhD Show exhibition launch at The Edge, which I’ve mentioned.  Would thoroughly recommend you pay it a visit this week.  On our way there, me and Pete Ashton found this strange kennel box thing on Cheapside.  Anyone know what on earth this is for?

I also found a slice of pizza on Floodgate Street.

Funnily enough, pizza is exactly what me and Carl had for dinner before heading to the Adam and Eve for a pint and some music from Chicks Dig Jerks.  Whilst there we got wind of another exhibition launch – of street art at Volt warehouse space, 22 Green Street, Birmingham B12 0NB, which Carl has already written a great post about with some lovely photos.  Warp & Woof is an exhibition by Glenn Anderson and Richard Coldicott and is on display until 26th September.

I wish I could take credit for this delightful Digbeth High Street find, but it is the masterwork of Lee Kemp, who tells me it was ‘massive’.

Dinner for two.  Birmingham doesn’t just have canals to match Venice, it has the romance too.
