What I ate today - the food thread

Lunch today at Mt Mee Winery & Estate for a joint birthday and wedding anniversary. Taking the day off work was welcome. This was the topmost banquet menu:
Looks like a great lunch was enjoyed at Ocean View Estates.

We shared a couple of glasses of their Stella White Diamonds last night, and I have some of the Rack Dried Cabernet (2014 and 2017) waiting for the right occasion to share.

Ah it's been a while since we went there for lunch. Good to hear it has kept its form.
 
Our first 'proper' meal in Prague in a small restaurant a few blocks away from the tourist hotspots. The two meals with a couple of 1/2 litre beers and a large Raspberry lemonade (Actually just like Red Creaming Soda) cost around A$40. All very tasty and definitely filling.

My wife had Sirloin in Pumpkin and Cranberry Sauce with added cream and bread dumplings.

I had Pork with Rosemary, some salad and American Potatoes - turned out to be wedges.

I have never been a fan of full English breakfast in Thailand with sausages, baked beans from a tin, fried tomato etc but it was included as part of the package for golf.

My eyes lit up when I found out they now have eggs Benedict. Need to pay extra for salmon but I can do without that for now.

Quite nice.

Our local Thai place which is really Lao owned and run can’t get enough staff to open for lunch, although that was the intention.
 
Yesterday we lunched at our favourite restaurant Nyugen brothers in Maroochydore .they have 3 branches and one is currently closed due to lack of staff.
