I rushed to the pool after work to do my 660m, and then to Zibibbo to try the 'Porky Cheese'. If you like pig, then this is the burger for you: Wood roasted pork jowel patty with black pudding, crackling, double cheddar, apple pickled cucumber, and Garage Project Hāpi Daze mustard, with house French fries. The burgers were very large, and very porky. I liked the way the cheese had been melted onto the bun (in an unctuous quarter-pounder way). The pork jowl patty itself was intense and delicious, but for me there was just too much black pudding (I had to put aside some of mine, to be eaten by a dining companion). The black pudding was high quality with good spicy notes, but when combined with the pork patty it made for a burger that was a bit full on. It also would have been good if the cucumber was more pickled, to give the necessary cut-through. Marks for the mustard sauce and decadent crackling. All in all, a good effort (and adored by some at the table), but not top of my list. I award the Porky Cheese 7.5/10.
