You are lucky to live in the land of plenty. At least as far as food is concerned.
In the US, there are so many ethnicities represented, with their specialty shops. that you can pretty much find anything, at the same time it is such a vast country with many different geographic and climate zones that pretty mush anything is available at any time.
The same might be true for other countries, but others would have a more informed opinion about that.
I was just talking about that with the wife yesterday, and she said "In the US I can get anything Thai, but here you cant get any western food, and when you do the choice is limited and it is expensive.
Cod is one of my favorites, I like it fried in a flour butter, but the way you prepared it look good, Those potatoes look amazing.
Here, so far I can only get one type of potatoes, (they look like Russet) I miss those small red an yellow potatoes (I think they are called new potatoes) I used to love baking them in olive oil garlic and oregano, salt and pepper, skin on.
I think I am due for my US Fix soon
The sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to catch up.
Thanks. I like cod a lot. My grandfather used to own fishing boats and fished in Alaska. He used to fish for salmon and crab, but he really did not like salmon for some reason. Every time the family had a salmon dinner (usually with the fish he caught), we always had to cook some cod separately for him. While I never grew to dislike salmon the way he did, I guess at the same time I learned to love eating a good piece of cod.

That looks damn reasonable Snubbles.
Whatever gets you through without murdering the little mites
Needs a couple of fried eggs on top Armstrong!
Nice looking cutlets!
Our dinner was making use of some Bluff Salmon we bought today (crispy skin) . . . asparagus, nicely made potatoes and my first try at a Hollandaise sauce in a while . . . it tasted very good and didn't split, but was a bit runny, possibly because I used margarine rather than butter.
Well, what a surprise ... caught up with the last 6 pages of this thread.
Some excellent food, fun banter and, even though it pains me to say it ... snubby's "baked Alaskan cod and roasted Yukon gold potatoes" looks delish.
Special mention to PH's dish above ... a cut about the rest.

I don't post our food up much because with 7yo boys, anything slightly exotic would have to be forced fed to them.
^The 2 fish dishes on this page are the best meals posted in the thread of late, both very nice.
Dont you think that is based on the food they have eaten growing up? I ate foods from around the world prepared by my folks, and my kids grew up doing the same along with delicious Thai foods. So they eat most everything. Strong cheese is about the only no. You have often said you dont eat exotic food at all.
Despite the flack i am sure to get, i do like my lamb a bit less pink than those. And that fat looks completely unrendered.
Different strokes and all that.
Arguably mayonnaise but you can make it with Olive Oil too

Mayonnaise was an option but I find olive oil makes it too runny as it doesn't coagulate as well, but I'm far from good at making Hollandaise. Thanks for the links, the pic in the first one is the consistency I'd like to have had.
