Her Royal Hagness's first blog

Hello peoples!!!

After much procrastination I finally admit to my duty to please you all with ramblings of a culinary nature. I will do my best to be, like a bowel habit, to be a “once a day” blogger. Although even I cannot be that ambitious, and I strive to blog at least weekly. I do want you all to note though, that we at culinaryhags are merely here to pass judgement on food establishments on the day of visitation. If the cook had a fallout with his lover resulting in the medium-rare beef to be an 18 ounce of crumbly chargrilled goodness – then so be it. If the maitre de didn’t take his medication for a coarse tremor resulting in curry all over your new Milano Blahniks – so be it. We will account for everything. But do take note that if you were to visit the establishment on another day, it might be all sunshine and lollipops. You might be tempted to curse this website and all of its inhabitants for misrepresentation – please don’t. In an universe of cruel chance and twisted fate – all we can say is “tough titties”. The reviews we provide are meant to be refreshingly honest and to the point. If we use descriptions that offend your senses, then please use an alternative food review source. We receive no financial gain for our reviews and therefore gain nothing from putting words to paper (or binary code).

A note to restauranteurs who might feel hard done by our reviews – do not attempt to find out our real identities – you will not succeed. It will only lead to frustration and distress. By day we are mild-mannered hags employed by respectable institutions. It is perhaps enough to know that someone is willing to pay for our talents in other fields far removed from culinary delights. We enjoy to eat, and choose this outlet to vent our pleasure, disgust or disbelief. Note well, we are not in the food or literary business, so do not expect our blogs to be eloquent or spelled correctly. We are only human.

I should say that this website is the brain-child of my fellow hagette. She deserves our applause. She only doesn’t want to take the credit as she’s afraid of the repercussions. Together we will review eating establishments mainly in London, but you may chance on a review from Greater London, Kiev or Istanbul.

So go forth and experiment with new food, cultures and areas. We are....and we're here to tell you all about it.
