Take some leftover housemade pimento cheese, fry up some mortadella, and...

 

 

Make a really delicious sandwich with those on Party Bus Bakery's scallion bun.

牛肉拉面 (niú ròu lā miàn) from northern China.

 

 

Beef with hand-pulled wheat noodles served in a rich meaty soup. Hugely filling and warming in winter.

From my Christmas week in Bude, Cornwall. I booked a restaurant called Temple for lunch on the final day to sidestep washing up. Mine was a fried chicken sandwich. Very nice.

 

 

The menu was short but served vegetarians and carnivores. There were 18 of us, and everyone was very happy with their meals. Service was attentive but relaxed. Michelin guide likes this place, too.

 

The way people speak in Britain changes just miles across the country. In Nottingham I'm used to being called "duck" or "me duck." "Love" or "luv" probably everyone knows. In Cornwall the young waitress called me "my love" which felt a bit weird, but nowhere as odd as being addressed as "my lover" in Somerset.

The latter was common in my part of Newfoundland, where a lot of the families originally arrived from Somerset.

"My part" in this context meaning "where my family hails from and where I lived as a teen, 40-odd years ago."
