I never managed to be able to post photos from my Tablet when we where in Ireland so I will add a few over time.

This is from The Blackberry restaurant in Leenane, a village on the Killary Harbour Fjord in Connemara Ireland. Seafood Platter with poached salmon, crab, mussels, smoked mackerel and smoked salmon - all produced in the fjord.



And the fjord itself at midnight from the window of our B & B.

Best bacon and eggs is in Kings Cross is the $6 shops 100 meters up from the station on the other side, or APEX further towards the Police station. Yeah, the toast is mucked up plastic variety. From 6am. Pubs in Parramatta on Church street are value too.

Have been to Kings Cross a couple of times and my God they are amazing.

Assume you are talking about the bacon & eggs Ethernet mentioned?

Cooked some lamb chops yesterday and added lemon and salt afterwards. Delicious.

Today is lamb and rice soup I cooked a couple of days ago.

And more lamb chops tomorrow. If anything like yesterday I'll be very happy.

Truffles to Egg = divine. So to is adding some middle east red shavings that look like dried tomato skins - but are not - another spice. The Bankstown spice shop has everything.

As for the bacon buntie - the streaky bacon is shaved half as thin as coles or woolies - or thinner and somehow crisped up with real browning.
Poached eggs really require a 20 litre boiling pot that the unshelled eggs are gravity dropped into.

Compare that with the greasy spoon shops that have unbrowned cooked bacon to be ladled onto a plastic roll like McDs.

No contest to that shop in Cairns shopping mall selling Roast rolls - or Sweetlip and chips.

It's not straying too far off topic as it does relate to what I ate today, but what is everyone's ultimate comfort food when they're sick?

I go back to my childhood and crave custard, made from Edmonds Custard Powder from NZ.

I found it odd when I first moved here that you could buy cold custard from the supermarket and that people didn't really eat hot custard!

But none in the house tonight so tomato cup a soup it was!

Boiled riced soup. Can also add some chicken to soup. Nursed me back to health after contracting chicken pox at 46 years of age. And fetta cheese. Couldn't eat anything else.

Another Irish meal on The Ring of Kerry. "Full Irish breakfast" - with Black & White Pudding.Plus plenty of toast of course. I had it only once - though it was offered at almost all the B & Bs'.

Congee. Either chicken, fish or pork and century egg. Had it since childhood. Always does the trick when my appetite is gone.
