Gummy dice and healing potions that arrive in test tubes. These are novelty sweets and likely perfect Christmas gifts. They’re not cheap, but it’s a case of quality over quantity for me, and I happily recommend them.
Eat your fill with food and drink in Edinburgh
Ah, a favourite subject of ours! When it comes to food and drink in Edinburgh, the city is just brimming with restaurants, cafes, bistros, gastro pubs, pizzerias, chippies and just about everything else to tickle your fancy.
If you're looking to dine out, Girdy & Birdy are gradually eating their way through the 'Burgh and updating their restaurant experiences regularly, both on the blog, and - more frequently - through social media.
You don't even have to eat out, either! You can order in, with many delivery services (such as JustEat, Deliveroo and UberEats) happy to bring exactly what you want straight to your door. Food and drink in Edinburgh is always a delight!

A review of Skinny Bakery, smol baking with 40% fewer calories
Very tasty but very small. Skinny Bakery goodies are delicious mouthfuls of baking goodness that last for days in your fridge if your willpower holds that long.
A review of Pizza Geeks, Leith
I eat a lot of pizza; I know many of the best places to go get pizza in Edinburgh, and Pizza Geeks is one of the very best.
A review of Mimi’s Hatch
Wow, gorgeous and unhealthy. I’m very tempted to go back next Sunday.
A review of Lux Vegan Cakes
I ordered these in a moment of weakness, and while I now have level 3 guilt, I don’t regret the impulse buy. These vegan cakes are tasty!
A review of The Herringbone, Goldenacre
I regret not taking the time to visit The Herringbone sooner, and I’m delighted I eventually had lunch there. The food is delicious, staff friendly and the atmosphere welcoming. I’m already planning a return visit.
Here’s why Deliveroo says there are crustaceans and molluscs in Burger King’s Festive BBQ King
On the surface, the Festive BBQ King has two flame-grilled beef patties, American cheese, smokey, smoked bacon, mayo and 5 golden onion rings. Sounds nice, right?
Nando’s delivery tip
There are two ways to order a Nando’s delivery in Edinburgh right now, and on the surface, they look identical, but they are not. Only one lets you earn Chilli Points.
