Gastro Thread

After the glutfest of recent weeks, it time for a more moderate diet. Lots of fish, crispy veg and rice.

 

I'll be re-exploring some of the traditional cuisines of the British Isles soon. It's been a while.

I just have prepared another chicken. Sadly, I forgot the garlic. I will have to do without. I'm already hungry. The chicken is still in the oven......

 

Garlic and chicken were made for each other.

I bought a small pork belly joint today to supplement the beef so that it would stretch a few meals, and with it came the opportunity for crackling. A bit of salt, a bit of sage, and many a smile at the table.

 

I'm stuffed right now. And the chicken tasted well despite the lack of garlic...

 

I had a bowl of berries topped with clotted cream from South West England. Family lore points to some ancestors coming from that area, so it feels kind of nostalgic even though the first time I even found about the stuff was well into adulthood.

My granddad made his own sauerkraut and brewed his own beer in his basement. Best smelling basement in Toledo, Ohio. I am a fan of good sauerkraut and a bigger fan of good beer.

 

@Jim Klag and @Kor

No Gagh, eh???

 

C'mon bratwurst and kraut with a good beer. What could be better?

 

Chicken. Rumpsteak. Pasta Salad. Red Wine.......

 

Yeah - but mine was made by my graddad.

 

I had a steak pie with sides of peas and cabbage, accompanied by what might possibly be one of the last cans of Murphy's Stout in North America.

It’s just me and the guys tonight so we’re having a curry, with popadoms.

 

Sirloin steak in a red Thai sauce, with rice and poppadoms. I’ll definitely be making that again.

 

We need more pictures in this thread.

 

Had one of my favorites today - a caprese sandwich from our local sandwich shop. Mozzarella, basil and tomato with balsamic vinaigrette on an Italian roll.

^ Yum, that even looks a bit healthy. I love the idea of photos in this thread. Food photos are the best

 

If you are in London, try Monsieur Le Duck - which is a pop-up restaurant that does duck and only duck - very very nice.

 

^ Monsieur Le Duck, that quacks me up.
