Looks fantastic. Ford or Holden ?

They're just beef mince pies in a gravy. Ubiquitous here at kids parties (ok, and adults) hence the name party pies.

Chicken wings in a red sauce with casarecce pasta. The wings are cooked in a sauce made with diced onion, lots of garlic, chilli flakes, stock and a can of tomatoes. Served with a green salad and toasted sourdough.

@BonVivant, you have the best lunches ! Here's a rare junk food naughty lunch. Party pies (store bought and frozen) with tomato sauce.

They're also called pork scotch fillet, but are actually just slices of neck. These were so tender ! I too love the different words that people use to describe unfamiliar (to me) ingredients. Can't imagine life without Google

Pork steaks marinated with soy and oyster sauces, garlic, red onion, chilli, shredded coconut and oil. Pan fried and served with charred asparagus, charred pineapple and cucumber salad. Plus a sauce made with leftover marinade and stock.

OMG, a clam crawl, I'd do that

Sourdough, avocado, Tasmanian smoked salmon, sour cream, dill, Kampot pepper. Delish !

A simple fattoush style salad with bacon, avocado, baby cukes, baby romas and cos lettuce.

Chilli chicken enchiladas, served with guacamole and salsa.

The banana peppers are really good stuffed with a spicy pork mince mixture and baked.

Braised pork belly with a stir fry of broccolini, snow peas and red onion, steamed rice and a few pickled zucchini. The pork was simmered in water, soy and oyster sauce, five spice, crushed garlic, sliced ginger and chilli. Remove the pork, boil to reduce sauce, and finish with spring onions. A new favourite, the meat was gelatinous and luscious.

Oh dear, hornets nest stirred here. There is a difference between Australia and New Zealand ya know. I'd have fried potatoes any way they come as long as there's salt to go with

I'm going to try this too. I have a mountain of dill, mint and soon parsley will be huge. Thanks !

Comfort food - herby pork sausages with onion gravy. Served with potato & horseradish mash, plus my homemade sauerkraut sautéed with speck, garlic and dill.

I butterflied a chook and marinated it with lemon zest and juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, sumac and cayenne. Halved cherry tomatoes were added half way through. Served with roasted potatoes, carrots and shallots, plus wilted garlic greens. A sauce was made with pan juices, mashed tomatoes, the greens cooking water and a spoon of yogurt.

Seaweed ? Or, sticks...

Shocking stuff, and quite an education. I will choose my words much more carefully in the future

Tiny toasties with home made tomato chutney, shredded ham and sharp cheddar, on sliced olive sourdough baguette.

I had lunch at home with guests yesterday, and attended a hens night later. There was a fine spread of food, which I ignored in favour of this homemade baklava. I had four pieces, bad me, delicious dinner though.

I have, just the other day I made these mini quiche like things. The sheets are a standard size, but you can roll them out a bit. Our supermarkets all sell basic frozen pre rolled pastry of many types. Better pastry (as the OP uses) are available at gourmet food outlets.

Lunch was with a four year old. From the back - in the pink basket is olive sourdough, there's quiche type things next to it. Then we have an antipasto plate with olives, tomatoes (both grown and cured at home), salami, pickled zucchini and Brie. Next comes Pumpernickel with smoked salmon, sour cream, capers and dill. Lastly a tuna and white bean dip with garlic pita bread.

Egg fried rice with char siu pork belly.

Mystery hotpot with chicken, hokkien noodles and a few herbs. I picked up a tub of Chinese hotpot mix a while ago. Other than the ingredients list (which by law must be in English) everything else on the packet was indecipherable to me. Anyway, I dissolved it in water, simmered a couple of thigh fillets, added stir fried onions and carrots, plus a plate of greens and herbs. I'll buy it again, very tasty. The mystery hotpot mix. Followed by in season strawberries with yoghurt and honey.

Although my baking skills are deplorable, I continue to try. These are quiche like things, some with ham, parmesan, parsley and tomato, the others with spinach, dill and cheddar. All had farm fresh eggs (a gift, sadly only two left) milk, salt and pepper. There were nine...
