I found myself in Edinburgh with a few hours to spare, or, as I like to call it, time to get something to eat.
And so I asked by best friend Google where I might go. She smiled, benignly, and noting my penchant for anything to do with pork, suggested a little Spanish number, called The Black Hoof.I walked the short distance from where I was staying to the roadside, and hailed a cab.
“All he wanted was ham from breakfast, and now he’s £13 down and sitting on an industrial estate somewhere on the east coast of Scotland.” Who cared about £13? I’d had a nice chat with Farid and we were getting ever close to Heaven – or is that Hamven?I asked Farid. Fifteen would have been fine, he told me, but he was grateful for the tip.I checked Mrs Google, who told me we’d arrived at 10.30am and the joint didn’t open for another 30 minutes. Gah. £33 down and still no ham.
Time passed slowly. It was a crisp autumnal morning, with a bright, clear sky and plenty of sun fighting against air that was the wrong side of cold.We weren’t, as it happened. She was simply waiting for the shop next door to open.11 came and went. I called the shop number.And as my body started to chill and I totted up the morning’s losses, I realised The Shut Hoof and I were a date that wasn’t going to happen.
