Roast beef dinner. Chocolate fondant thingy with ice cream for afters. Life is good.
Not if you’re eating after 9pm
Went to watch fireworks after and just got home. Ate around 6ish.
Just got back from an impromptu trip to a local Italian. I had this:
Which very shortly afterwards became this:
Was yummy.
An inch-plus-thick joint of rump steak fried to charcoal black on the outside and medium rare on the inside. I did think about some greens but couldn’t be arsed. Just the cow sacrifice then.
Finished with a good slug of single cream - because I can. Now, stuffed.
Did a kung pao chicken type thing last night- lots of sichuan peppercorn, peanuts and chilli bean paste. Was awesome
The breakfast of the terminally hungover:
Nuked leftover curry.
Raisin bran and yoghurt…
I’ve just found 2 leftover poppadoms, ftw!
Shart warning!! That could be explosive/corrosive.
Do it everyday without any obvious repercussions… lol
Tuesday will go down as my favourite food day for some time. Le Touquet provided the venue for…
Breakfast was a dozen huitres each. 6 x Fine de Normandy #3 and 6 x Speciale Gillardeau #2…

Boudin Noir on a bed of creamed potatoes with a calvados sauce. Totally gorgeous !
It’s not exactly black pudding as we know it… too much onion and garlic in it (unsurprisingly )
I quite like it, but yer average Lancastrian would probably run a mile…
No, it’s not. However, it is more to my taste. I need garlic. Lots of garlic.
…long as Narelle likes it too
Luckily
I prefer the texture of a UK black pudding, but like the garlic in a French one.
Need to see how difficult it is to make something that mixes the two.
Morcilla tops the lot… try the creamy morcilla patatera from Extremadura which is made with mashed potatoes and is spreadable.
If you want unusual try Morcilla dulce a sweet variety from the Canary Islands and is traditionally made with almonds and spices like cinnamon and star anise
