Thread: Lunch ... the second course

^ Last of the big spenders?

And... WTF is wrong with you?

Fancied some bruschetta today, always good in hot weather. Took a baguette out of the freezer, loads of fresh sweet basil in the fridge, so good to go.



De-seeded and diced the tomatoes, and mixed with some crushed garlic, grated parmesan, chopped basil, then some olive oil and balsamic added.



Sliced up the baguette, turning the ends into croutons, and brushed with olive oil before crisping up in the oven.



Along with some pea and mint soup, a decent lunch. The rest of the bruschetta will no doubt be consumed whilst watching football tonight.

^^^ Green owed.

These balti pies at the football are great.





They are cooked so hot though - presumably to protect themselves from any food poisoning complaints - that it's hard work eating them and I forgot to get a fork so had to use the crust to scoop out the molten lava filling.



The pie is not that small and my hands are not that big.

Is that a cupcake sized pie

Don't be giving the Glazers any ideas for squeezing even more money out of us!

it certainly got the better of the bacon, and someone Thai'd your eggs. Great start to the day.

Yea I was a bit upset about not showing off the on sale smoked F&M bacon.

Looks like a great day out Hall, hope you had fun!

Not sure if it's the vertigo or pie that is making me nauseous

What happened to your decent seat?

Looks like you could have sat anywhere you liked.

He headed to the heavens to cool that pie down the fat bastard instead of staying ring side for the up close non action.

Half time, everyone else up getting refreshments/toilets etc. Either that or before kick off. 73,000 there on Saturday.

Yeah, 30 minutes before kick off. Full house as ever and a cracking seat too.

Had a pub lunch yesterday and, in the absence of my favourite cheese and onion pie, I plumped for a burger, which was excellent, but served on a stupid fucking board, so it was murder to eat.

And the SE Asian other half ordered steak and ale pie with a choice of mushy peas or baked beans....and she went for beans!

I'd post pictures, but the website keeps crashing.

This week I'm batch cooking kimchi jigae.

Fantastic. Green dispatched. Just needs sausages, but that's a proper plate of food with the HP ready to be added.

Chamchi kimchi jjigae (tuna kimchi stew).



Get the kimchi and tuna cooking before adding the brine from the kimchi and two equally important ingredients in Korean food: the ubiquitous gochujang...and sugar.



Served with rice and it's tasty, sweet, sour and spicy. And, more to the point, a piece of piss to cook.



I reckon you'd love this, Chitty.

^ it looks a lot better than it sounds

Looks like something I'm concocting presently...

^ In your bowels?

Bit unfair on Hal to say his food looks like shit


He doesn't post up his cooking often and needs all the encouragement he can get

Looks delicious Hal, Some nice Rice and bok choy and you're away!

Totally agree, my next step is to added sausages and hash browns.
