Lahori Grill or any of the many curry houses on Stockport Road. Although, we do love fried chicken strips with spicy mayo after a busy service with a few beers to celebrate the good work...
If you came in to eat at your own restaurant, what would you order?
I'm a 'buona forchetta' (good fork) as we say in Italy! I love to taste as much as possible of the menu when I eat out to see quality and the traditionality of the cuisine I'm eating. So in Cibus I would order a selection of cicchetti, perhaps the braised pork cheeks in tomato and red wine, the fregola and clams, bagna cauda with grilled peppers , salt cod fritters and a burrata. I'd also have some salted doughnuts to complement the initial starters. I'm not so greedy so I would have to share the lot with family and friends! Then, I'd share a pappardelle duck ragu, spaghetti aglio olio e peperoncino and a pizza margherita with some cetara anchovies, with a side of tomato and shallots salad. A sgroppino of lemon sorbet and limoncello will clean my palate and set me for coffe and grappa. On Sundays, the porchetta roast would be my favorite.

Maybe that Cibus means food in Latin, that we are humble cooks and humble servers of what we love to create and share. Also that our first dough mixer was a plastic bucket bought at a pound shop, powered by Marco and Giorgio's elbow grease.
