^ That looks like a pretty decent brunch to me. Waitress obviously knew you were on a diet and scoffed a few chips on the way over...and the black pudding!
i second that and Pad Krapow Moo is just asking for wormsQuote:

They said no more, well he was paying for their meal.
Any farang that has a fried egg on a meal other than breakfast has gone native!:spin:
I fear you're overlooking the egg on a gammon steak.

Joe, it is not a luxury item, it is just the way 99% of the population eat it.Quote:

Dutch beef stew with chips (and the obligatory mayonnaise on the side for dipping the chips that haven't been soaked by the stew).

I couldn't get enough of this pea and ham soup.
Attachment 119514
Mussels in a fairly spicy broth (reminded me of Korea- very tasty and preferable to mariniere IMHO). And the mussels were MASSIVE!
The American mind really cannot comprehend moisture and flavour on the same plate like we Europeans can.

Some excellent looking scran there hal. But if we are to talk mussels then I have to inform you that chilli mussell's are usually on the go most weekends at blds gaff. 2 kilos of black (live) mussels for $14.00.cant go wrong. Love the greenlips to but damn the black ones are way tasty
Do.i only get 1 post? Before the message I entered is to short?
They appear contracted and overcooked, which makes them chewy and tough, just the way you Brits like your protein apparently, easy to do if you have no fucking clue what you are doing. Fortunately, we have the best mussels in the world here, so the chefs know how to properly cook them.Quote:

Not really eaten much in the UK though unless you're at the seaside or a restaurant.
I can't claim to be a schoolboy, but I always derive great pleasure when asking if the 'hoy' are fresh!

Man o man. Oysters look delicious. I just had a half dozen a few days ago at the waterfront with my wife. She had scallops.
Weather looks perfect. Today is our first rain of the season.
Yeah, yeah, of course you do ...Quote:

I wouldn't say you've had the best mussels until you've been to La Lycorne, Dinan in Brittany. A lovely restaurant with an excellent variety of sauces and friendly service. I can't make the journey there every year any longer, but it was one of those must do events in the winter season months...November being my favorite time for mussels as well as oysters, which requires a small trip to the coastal town of Cancale. A place you have to visit before stating you've had the best oysters in the world.
We're they wild mussels?
That is the question...
^ Have you ever tried to tame a freaking mussel?
Come to think of it, I wonder if Snubby has pet mussels in his basement...
These were oysters, Joe.
If he does they will be the best in the world, for sure. :DQuote:
