00:00Rich what are you doing? I'm looking for something to eat mate, I haven't got my packed lunch. Come with me.
00:06This is Rich Fay, one of our sports writers here at Manchester World and I couldn't let him go hungry so I thought I'd take him out into the city to show him one of my favourite places to grab a quick and cheap lunch.
00:15So we headed to the Piccadilly street food village.
00:18Now this is a great little area and a great idea to where small businesses have been given the opportunity to set up shop in one of these little huts.
00:26It's much much cheaper for them than buying a storefront and it gives them great access to a whole bunch of hungry hungry people.
00:33We were going to one place and one place only and that is Rita's Reign.
00:38What is it that you're getting Rich? Do you fancy?
00:41I don't know what I'm getting, what is it?
00:44Curried goat, jollof rice, first time ever having it.
00:47So they've got a tonne of great options from jollof rice, rice and peas, jerk chicken, curried goat and a bunch of vegan options too.
00:54What are those little fry bits, they look good don't they? Stuff in the end.
00:58Is that the plantain you're getting? I've had two.
01:01And yeah the plantain's caught Rich's eye so we had to get some of those too, you can see him chopping it up here.
01:06Thank you very much. No problem.
01:10So here's mine, that's a mixed box.
01:13There's in there jerk chicken, curried goat, some plantains too, bit of hot sauce, jollof rice and rice and peas, which is actually beans.
01:23It's Rich's first time trying goat so here's the first bite.
01:30That's the goat mate.
01:31I've never had plantain, you ever had plantain?
01:34I've never had plantain.
01:35So this is first one, plantain, cheers mate.
01:39That was absolutely unreal, it was so good, I'm converted.
01:44Now I knew I'd love Rita's because it's my favourite place in that little village but there are some other great options.
01:49Korean corn dogs, a bunch of different Asian cultures, burgers, hot dogs, everything you could possibly want.
01:54It's definitely worth giving it a go and it's a great place for small businesses.
01:57Follow Manchester World for more, see you soon.
