My weird lunch:

DSCN0187.JPG.2010fcc40533e75d9a4cdbb667ab228e.JPG

I just opened every restaurant leftover container in the refrigerator and heated the contents up in the CSO.  From 12 o'clock a bacon cheeseburger, fries with turkey gravy, and part of an open faced turkey sandwich.  Not pictured are the tots that needed a few more minutes. 😄

the courgette i get

 

but not the rest

 

:wacko:

A meat pie is to be eaten at the 'footy'. Its always way too hot, its held in one hand (there is a beer in the other). The meat/gravy should overflow at each bite and will usually burn your lips/jaw before it drips down on your T-shirt, the overflow of course drips on your hand first and you have to put up with the burn or drop the pie (its not a good look - manhood would be questioned by your mates)

It has tomato sauce on the top (too much) that also drips down but only if you are wearing a white T-shirt.😁

It is NEVER to be eaten with tools!

That pie has suspiciously lot of meat. There are regulations about the ratio of meat,gravy, pastry. A mate of mine who ran a bakery got fined for having too much meat🙄

A report several years ago on massed produced pies found the meat to be of very dubious origins. One manufacture was using imported meat that included camel testicles. (they did DNA test!).

Be kind first.

Be nice.

(If you don't know the difference then you need to do some research)

I now try my best to go to Thai Noodle once a week

 

and get two duck dishes 

 

772298101_Th1.thumb.jpg.87c7383bda2c1759951034d5f4971c88.jpg

 

L  my favorite , duck // broad rice noodles // green peppercorn and thai basil

 

they will make their various curries w rice noodles , rather than rice .

 

R  Duck Panang Curry.   I forgot to mention to put the curry on top of the noodles , as rice noodles can gum hip a bit

 

mixed it up at home and it came out fine.

 

Tb2.thumb.jpg.7ffe730b83647671aa658f6c1a6fbf62.jpg

 

I now carefully remove the green peppercorns from the stalk and distribute through out the dish.  they gave me a lot of duck

 

and it was delicious.

 

I hope that if you like Thai , there is a place near you that tastes as good as this.

 

Not Pictures :  two Hoponius Union Beers , one at a time , icy cold.

 

hard to get better than this in my area.

Today for lunch was awesome and new.  Tarts!  Savory was represented by Ricotta cheese, zucchini, tomato, with garlic and olive oil:

Desert was a honeycrisp apples with cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar:  Not overly sweet, just GOOD!

I told my wife we could do these again :)  She found the recipe for the savory  in ATK's recipes for 2; winged the apple tart, I provided knife skills.

Pizza with Naples dough @ 70% hydration from Mastering Pizza and topping from the Pizza Bianca with potato, anchovy and sage in Ottolenghi's Simple.  

Also known by me as chip & dip pizza as the topping starts with a layer of mascarpone mixed with pecorino Romano, anchovy, sage and lemon zest.

That's not pepperoni.  I used a mix of red, yellow and purple potatoes.

Lunch with a friend and her daughter in a local "western" restaurant. I'm not sure west of where, though. This I wish to point out was not my choice, but the 9-year-old daughter's.

 

Beef kebabs with fries. Beef was OK, but could have been rarer. Fries were oversalted.

Apologies for picture quality.

Beef pizza. Edible but not what I call a pizza. The base was crisp, but not in a good way and the sqiggles of brown gunk unnecessary.

A take on eggplant parmesan. Eggplant slices layered with ricotta, kashkaval and roquefort; flavored with with nutmeg and pepper.

Sauce of beetroot, light cream, thyme.

The eggplants I bought last week were giving me the evil eye - will riff on this. Thanks

Big and rich lunch in Aracena. Top notch jamon and good tomatoes.

A piece of Iberico loin and 3 ribs.

Good restaurants usually have a bunch of olive oils for you to try. Spaniards eat a lot of things with the oil. Well, they have got a match.

Cinco Jotas is the most famous jamon producer in Jabugo. "5J" means top notch jamon. "J" stands for Jabugo.

Jose Vincente, the cook and owner, showed me around the kitchen and posed for me. We had a long chat after lunch, his son being our translator. He does all the cooking and is the only one in the kitchen doing everything. He asked if I liked the tomatoes. Of course I did. Said he used good tomatoes, even skinned them. He uses only good stuff. Meat, jamones, oils etc. His restaurant is well-known in Aracena, long before the tourists found out about it.

Proud cook and his sons.
