Pigs and pearls

15th January 2016

I went to a great little tapas place on Saturday called, 'The Black Pig with White Pearls.' I was meeting some friends and we fancied going somewhere new so I browsed around online and came across their site. I was immediately drawn to the name, the cool graphics and the music that serenades you as soon as you click on the link. We had a good old chinwag over some melt-in-the-mouth Iberico ham, tentically octopus, black squid ink rice and other scrumptious specialities. If you are ever in Stoke Newington, I recommend having a taste of southern Spain at this cosy, authentic eatery.
