    ^ Two forks, two knives just for lunch.

    Well posh.

    I had beans on toast... but at least it was on a proper plate.

    Fvcking horrible stuff that stinks and leaves a horrible after taste in your mouth.
    According to a clueless chav who has never been close to wild salmon in his entire life. A secret hint for you dumbass, it has almost no scent, and it definitely does not stink.

    That seafood looks delish, DW! I miss the cheap seafood you get in Asia. Here is it is way too expensive.

    This is what I did with the wedges. Made a huge salad with tofu, a small bit of wedges dipped in hummus.

    Yum, that looks great! I like Salmon and whitefish (pollack, cod and halibut). Lobster I love, but not too affordable here.

    A lot of our Salmon comes from Norway and Chile, a lot of it is farmed.




    You can also fish for Chinook and Coho Salmon in Lake Ontario which you can access from the US and Canadian side.

    ^ Norwegian salmon will be farmed.

    It is a massive industry for Norway to rival hydrocarbons, environmentally devestating, yet OK because they have the world's highest EV ownership per capita.

    ^Yeah, it is too bad. I started buying Coho Salmon which is wild. I was reading about Salmon and whether it is wild or farmed and found this interesting info.

    The only wild salmon sustainable commercial fisheries are on the west coast of the US and Canada. From Northern California to Alaska. There is no commercial fishery for Atlantic salmon due to overfishing, it is all farm raised. Farmed raised salmon is shit and no comparison to the taste of the real wild fish.

    The salmon in my pic is sockeye, hence its deep red color.

    I get fresh water Salmon from Scotland and it doesn't come much fresher than that, but it still tastes of jelly and minge.

    I went for a look at an oyster and caviar festival yesterday, but I wasn't boozing so didn't bother. An estimated 12,000 oysters sold in one day though (as I mentioned above).

    Dinner-20240914-175702-jpg


    Twelve different types were available, apparently.

    Was gonna get some caviar, but I changed me mind.

    Somebody had bought these, drank their wine and fucked off!

    More money than sense some people.

    Senorita was cooking up a storm in the kitchen tonight

    Dinner-20240922_202718-jpg

    Behold some kind of spicy chicken noodle stir fry that shall remain nameless

    Dinner-20240922_202805-jpg

    I donated a house-warming bottle of some sparkles to the proceedings. Still unpacking so matching glasses were a stretch too far.

    Dinner-20240922_203224-jpg

    I whetted my appetite with these things that look like sausage rolls but are actually some spicy kind of curry puff-ette

    Dinner-20240922_203525-jpg

    Dinner is served. While she was cooking I had been tasked with getting her TV working and you can see the successful fruits of my labours in the background.

    Dinner-20240922_204413-jpg

    The aroma on the air and the bubbles-a-begging attracted some flatmates to the table

    Is that a pygmy or tall worktops?

    The curry puffs look nice

    ^ She's sitting down, mate.


    ^^ Who's the flatmate in the denim dungarees Looper? Introduce me sometime please, if you would. She looks lovely.

    Dungarees have always done something for me, especially with one flap down.


    Anyway, I don't know the official name for this dish, but I'm calling it 'corned beef hash with a slice of Gala Pie.'

    And a word to the wise... that ain't red wine.



    The power of the Ya Dong really pisses me off at times... I'd done so well until tonight.
