[Talk-GB] Labelling a greasy spoon caff
Hi all, Any thoughts about tagging a greasy spoon cafe (a caff)? It's a particular British type of food that we need to be able to locate accurately ;) In taginfo I see cuisine=breakfast (282) cuisine=british (73) but both seem too vague to me. There are a handful of cuisine=greasy_spoon (4) so I'll go with that unless there's anything better I've missed. Also I've just learnt that the term greasy spoon is of US origin! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greasy_spoon Best Dan ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

Greasy spoon truck stops (or any mobile food truck on a schedule) could be: transient:amenity=restaurant cuisine=greasy_spoon;british operating_hours=Sa 16:00-20:00 name=Greasy Spooning Cafe website=http://foodtrucksrus.net/o=92 So it won't render confusingly with permanently located features. ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

It surprises me that there are not more 'transport_cafe' references given the number of greasy spoon truck stops, but you are right that there does not seem to be anything actually documented for this type of establishment. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL - Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

Mobile catering is NOT the sort of greasy_spoon we are talking about. These are sit down cafes serving mainly a full English greasy breakfast. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL - Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

Yep, my question was not about transient/mobile catering - but then I think Bryce was just responding to Jerry on that point, I don't think he was misunderstanding. It's about a specific style of cuisine / eatery, and actually most of the ones I've been to in my life haven't been on transport routes, just sit-down cafes in non-posh parts of town. The one I was in this morning was a caff in mid-London, full of building workers ordering extremely large fried breakfasts. I'm not keen on cuisine=breakfast because (a) it's not just any breakfast, it's a very specific type of breakfast; (b) these places usually serve lunch as well, and maybe even tea! I guess I might end up going with cuisine=greasy_spoon - but since there were only 4 uses so far, I suspected there was something I was missing. Also it felt a bit too colloquial, but then it's pretty much the only word I have for that style of cuisine.
