Naah, actually I like loads of different food - that plate just happened to be my food hell

Duck bacon cause we don’t eat red meat and the chili flakes cause it cannot be too spicy for her.

That looks very nice.

That's righteous SL. Very nice. I wish I could get fresh pasta here as I'm too lazy to make it myself.

They are good pastas and they have a variety to pick from at a market we enjoy visiting on the weekends while in NY.

Friggin' tease......

I have to say that looks very tasty SL ,, even though I could not eat that rubber stuff underneath it

Kiss the sky, nigga...

The best scene of the best television program in history is the only comparative I have to my pending repast...

^ Thanks for explaining. I was wondering what Jimi had to do with a can of sausages & lentils

Needed something quick and easy that wouldn't interfere too much with watching the Matchplay golf, and had some lamb chops in the fridge.

Maybe my ideas of value are skewed, but these are as cheap as chips at Big C Extra and very nice eating.


Onto a plate with some mixed veg and gravy, job done.

HW, sauce [gravy] from the lamb fixings...or not?

^Nope, it's tetra pack gravox. 40 seconds exactly to have it ready, no time to dick about with pan juices and flour this evening.

Slap, reminds me of when I used to live in Geneva, every week I'd pop across the border to France to buy meat.
Always used to pick up cans of William Saurin, Cassoulet was my favourite.{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252

If only. No, this came from France too- saucisses au canard, c'est tres magnifique.

Indeed, beats sausage and beans any day.

Homemade bbq pulled pork sandwiches on a homemade bun with German potato salad.

Pretty damn good if I say so myself....

Any recipe for the potato salad? What type of potatoes did you use? Looks great. I have a Sunday brunch potluck to go to and looking at getting creative and taking something like that, I drew the salad straw.

Potato salad -

Peel and boil the potatoes until a fork goes in with little difficulty. Don't overcook your potatoes or they'll turn to mush. We used about 2 pounds of taters (4-5 large regular yellow taters)

Meawhile, grate a large carrot, mince 2-3 sticks of celery, mince up a medium onion and fry up 6-8 rashers of bacon. As in most dishes, you can't have too much bacon.
Remember to squeeze the water from the grated carrots.

Dressing -
Mix about 3 tablespoons of mayo with about 3 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar with a good shake or three of celery salt, teaspoon of crushed black pepper, a pinch of salt and mix well.

Here's the trick -

Decide on your serving bowl - pour the cut vegetables in it. Pop the still steaming taters on the vegetables and immediately pour the dressing on the taters and crumble the bacon on it, then gently fold everything together to mix. Remember, the more you mix the more those chunks of taters will mush so keep the mixing to the bare minimum.

Let it cool down and then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before eating. The flavors need time to come together.

yum..

Insanely good. This is a crowd pleaser indeed. What mayo is best with this? I am not a mayo person, best I did was a home made version with stuffed eggs.

I use Kraft mayo....don't like the best foods crap...

Will give this is a go and see how it goes. Yum.
