Lunch 2021

[Kim Shook]

I am a bit embarrassed to show my lunch from yesterday.  My pals in the British expat FB group would call it a Fish Finger Sarnie:

Fish stick sandwich sounds much less interesting.  But is was those good Costco fish sticks.  😄

Thank you I need to find out if they are available at Costco in Canada. I will add them to my list and the next person who goes to Costco will be charged was looking for them.

I checked the manufacturer's site, and apparently the Ultimate Fish Stick isn't sold in Canada.

White beans, chopped spinach, fusilli, feta cheese, Tapatío sauce, onions.

Greek is great, but Turkish is terrific, too.

Roasted aubergine-sweet pepper salad topped with lamb mince (kebab seasoning).

 

Meatballs, dolmas, and buffalo's milk feta.

 

Tahini-chickpea puree

 

Quark wth honey

 

An Arabic saying which refers to the bond that is built between people based on respect through eating together.

 

Sunday afternoon coffee before Turkish dinner.

 

Turkish honeycomb. Good to have a big Turkish community here. Love checking out all the mesmerising Turkish things in the supermarkets.

 

A new batch of dumplings

Even though we're not going anywhere this year, it's vacation time, which means I can have more interesting lunches than my normal weekday fare....

 

 

Duck dry-noodles (not in soup) with maitake, gai lan.  Made with a peking-ish duck stock...

[heidih]

Nice dish, great bowl. What is that above the bowl. Intrigues me.

It's an antique that my grandmother got somewhere.  It's a bronze statue by a Japanese artist from the Meiji period - you can see the front of it here:

 

Living in a small apartment, we have very few collectables or knick-knacks, but when my mother moved out of the house, this was the one thing I wanted.

A great positive energy keep. Thanks.

You gotta take home the carcass of a roast or Peking duck, preferably from Peking Duck House!

In my head, I somewhat came up with a more complex recipe/story … 😜 

 

(but at the end, if it is, it is good !)

I wish I could say that it was some stroke of brilliance, but no - @weinoo was dead on - except the carcass came from Wu's Wonton King, not Peking Duck House.

Much cheaper, and often just as good (if not better!)

[Raamo]

Another we have veggies to use up, what can we make them them.  Well potatoes and red pepper + more = HASH!

 

I found the linked recipe from googling for ideas.  We added an egg and zucchini to the recipe list and it was SO GOOD.

 

[BonVivant]

Mung bean noodles with prawns and Vietnamese-style fish sauce.

 

Carrot wrap/"tortilla" with broad bean-beetroot puree and fried egg.

 

Tinned butter beans and lots of cheese

 

Aguachile of raw scallops

 

Same as above but with rhubarb and beetroot.

 

[heidih]

The carrot "tortilla" made by you? - no familiarity. Definitely cucumber with aguachile! Nice scallops.

Pork belly burnt ends and pineapple kimchi sandwich with just a smear of gochujang mayo on a take-and-bake roll from TJ's

Made with planned-overs from yesterday's BBQ pick-up. I sliced the pork and warmed it up in the CSO.

Oh wow. That takes my breath away.

Summer three-salad lunch.  Egg salad, tuna salad, pasta salad. Some crudités.  Duke's used in differing quantities in all three, because...Duke's.
