Lunch today was horrible. That's all you need to know. Horrible and inedible! What little went into my mouth was spat out in seconds.

No pictures, obvously.

Sorry, not good enough! I don't need pix. But I do want to know what it was, and most importantly, whether or not you made it

I whistfully mentioned how I missed sushi. Truly horrified, she told me "you city folk eat the strangest things!", and offered me a freshly fried chitterling!

I am not at all sure that I would be even thinking of taking a photograph of something that I was spitting out.

That’s not a true statement. I absolutely would not be taking a photo of something I found that horrible. 😂

I usually snap a photo before digging in but I’ve usually tasted for seasoning so wouldn’t be so surprised by an inedible result. 
@liuzhou! I am curious, were there no available options to the inedible choice?  How long were you forced to go without sustenance?

It's probably the last warm/hot weekend here.
Carmenere and Austrian Riesling.

Aubergines and portobello

From my favourite Turkish shop. A young baker makes these tandor flatbread as I watch and wait.

Garlicky dip for the bread

Ribeye from a farm 2 1/2 hours away (I biked there the other day and timed it). I sliced the whole big chunk into smaller pieces to make it easier to turn on the Weber.

Another meal in the sun.

Chanterelle omelette

Matjes with dairy

Knas is a Danish cheese. Has a mild pungent, stableyard smell that reminds me of Alsatian Muenster.

Chewy rye bread. A lot of concentration is needed to slice it thinly in one go.

Pistachio baklava from the Turkish grocer again

Got 2 big squashes the other day. Not sure what they are. I check the seed catalogue (from whom this farm buys seeds) and they look like either "Turkish mountain squash" or "Autumn beauty". Both types have dense and sweet flesh.

The whole family at work. They harvest almost every day now.

I ended up with a week-long (so far) upper respiratory infection starting last Friday.  Tested negative for COVID, thank goodness.  This was my not feeling terrible, but not feeling great, either brunch on Saturday:

Scrambled eggs, sausage gravy and biscuits, and one more biscuit with strawberry jam for comfort 😉.

Wow.  Biscuits and gravy are what I make when I am feeling great, and thinking "Yeah, those statin drugs are definitely working."

Still not 100%, so I went full childhood comfort mode for lunch today:

Lipton noodle soup and Chicken in a Biskit crackers.  

They still make that cracker!?!  I was always sneaking them out of pantry as a kid :)

Moroccan pistachio pastries. Turkish style is (very) finely ground, Moroccan is coarse or left whole. Turkish is buttery and overall quality is superior.

Turkish black figs from Bursa are here again. On my second tray this week.

Moroccan fried bread ("Msemmen") and home-made kumquat marmalade (tart, not sweet).

Full-fat farmer's quark from the dairy farm

Not Moroccan but from a country that's no less fascinating.

One of the 4 all-important C's in the state of Oaxaca: corn, chilli, chocolate, and coffee.

The most well known chocolate producer in Oaxaca state. I spent many happy chocolate drinking hours at Mayodomo shop in the Oaxacan capital.

Pastries and fried bread are from a Moroccan bakery 10km away. The pastries survived the bumpy bike ride home on lousy bike paths that I paid for.

Wow the color of that chocolate is DARK almost blue-black. Kumquat marmalade is a favorite of mine. It finally rained here. Will give it a week or so and see if I got some activity on my lone tree.

Soft, with seeds for interest. No crisp crust. From Asda.

Got a kilo bag each of razor and almond clams, but not for steaming and eating out of the shell. After steaming I cleaned every single clam and then added them to cooked freekeh with a spicy chilli sauce and tamari.  Lots of raw garlic on the side. My version of Vietnamese clam rice.

Chinese cheese, AKA bean curd in chilli sauce. I like to use it in cooking, as a condiment, and even spread it sparingly on bread.
