What I ate today - the food thread

[juddles]

And this is the soup that I turned some of it into: (sorry my food photos are not flash)

And this evening I went down to the wharf and got some fish (literally still kicking) as the fisherman unloaded their nets:

 

[juddles]

And so after the wharf, and the market this morning, dinner was the following:

Let me think how Qantas would describe the meal......

"Fresh Chilean Sea Pollock, panfried in Danish butter, accompanied by a lemon-dressed tomato, cilantro and Elqui Valley red onion salad, and toasted fragrant rice".

 

[juddles]

But I am uncouth - I had a malbec to accompany this, and ate it all with a spoon (as we said in my army days, "anything you can't eat with a spoon, you can with your hands")

Cheese hoppa, with prawns in mild curry;



And a satisfactory aftermath

Those fish were too young to be separated from their Mothers..

Extraordinarily good meal from Simon Roghan at L’Enclume in Cartmel this week. Some say this is the best restaurant in England at the moment. I could accept that. Food brilliant and excellent staff.

L’Enclume Part 2



Very impressed that Simon Roghan himself was cooking in the restaurant on a Sunday night.

May not look very exciting but it was a decent hot chocolate. Haven't found many here north of Wellington. Shame about the paper cup

Decided to try making beef bourguignon in the slow cooker today. I'm rather pleased with the result which was served with zucchini on mashed potatoes.

A little break from carpet shopping.
This time we asked for chips on the side

Too much dressing for me. Must remember for next time

At my favourite lunch venue Laneway Greens - enjoying their falafel and lentil salad with some chicken thrown in.

A nice lump of beef.
Just need to pick something to go with it. (Not my fridge)

Some of Saturday’s lunch at my place

After consuming a few drinks in the club lounge, then ‘sampling’ the free but pretty decent bottle of shiraz in my room, felt the need for a room service pizza - pretty awesome. Actually I should say it was near PERfection. Hyatt Regency hotel.

Quick snack at El Corte Inglés in Madrid with great view.

 

[kermatu]

After the pizza the night before I somewhat redeemed myself with something called ‘Green and Grain’ the next night. Certainly was green. And pretty good too. Again at the Perth Hyatt.

Trevally ceviche at the Auckland Pullman. Delicious.

A french country salad with duck breast, bacon, parmesan, egg, lettuce, tomato. Super delicious. From a french restaurant called Tangor in Luang Prabang.
