The second greatest comedy magazine ever to be named after a foodstuff has relaunched. Mustard (it's a gas) is the brainchild of Alex Musson, and draws on obvious influences The Onion and TV Go Home. Previously A4, the new-look mag is roughly the size of a piece of tin foil cut to a 17 X 23 cm rectangle. Cartoons, interviews, spoof news and other crap will leave you tittering with glea and glittering with......

Londonist asks that most pressing of daily concerns: where to go on your lunch break. West Cornwall Pasty Co Throughout London Average Lunch Price: £2.50-£3.20 Rating: 7 out of 10 West Cornwall Pasty Co has several outlets throughout London and the UK, yet ironically none in West Cornwall. Londonist made a recent mooring at WCP’s Liverpool Street Station branch, and had a ‘Large Traditional’ for lunch. This ‘best-selling’ pasty was loaded with steak, swede,......

We thought we’d take a break from linking up Onionbagblog, and instead sample a scallion of a different persuasion. Olly’s Onions serves up small helpings of news in a satirical sauce. A bit like The Onion, then. (What is this connection between bulbous edibles and current affairs piss-takes?) This week, Olly drops by a trendy boozer: The White Swan just off Ladbroke Grove has been serving a loyal clientele for decades, but since it......

We at Londonist try to cook with seasonal vegetables where possible and a trip to Borough Market early on Saturday (always go early before the gastro-porn tourists arrive, or on a Thursday when many of the stalls are now open) saw us staggering home with armloads of rhubarb. This long, pink creature is one of complexities. It is actually a vegetable yet we choose to use it as a fruit and it’s silky texture......

Texas is thawing, the Northeast is freezing, and a sort of natural order seems almost restored to the Ist-A-Verse. Almost. Londonist HQ—that is to say, the city of London—was battered by heavy winds, making it a bad time to be a twelve-meter (nearly forty-foot) tall snowman. Still, not everyone decided to keep warmly covered. Meanwhile, back indoors, the Big Brother racism is now causing all kinds of headaches for international diplomats, and Londonist got into......

Don’t get us wrong, we like Brixton for a trendy night out. We love our Bug Bars and our Plan B’s all jostling to serve up foreign beers as an undernourished deejay spins Nancy Sinatra on the decks. But the nights are getting longer and we want something a little more… comfortable. We’re not as young as we used to be. And it’s cold. Bitter cold. We can’t feel our nose cold. And we’re......

First up in the film reviews this week is The Aristocrats, which starts off reasonably well by picking up three stars in the Times. At just two paragraphs Wendy Ide's review of this documentary about a legendary in-joke amongst comedians is probably shorter than the joke itelf, but she seems to like it, calling the film "a fascinating insight into a close circle". By the time we get to Anthony Quinn in the Independent......

We've already started receiving bits and pieces regarding the London Film Festival later in the year, but between this weekend's FrightFest and October there are a couple of Festivals you'd be mad to miss. First up is one of our favourites: Raindance. Last year we had such a blast watching premieres of Dead Man's Shoes and Old Boy alongside the gay 'comedy' of Paul Hogan, The Onion's spam-tastic Chevy Chase starring unreleased, unloved but......
