That's a keeper. Cheers.

Ditto. If I can get them half as good as those look I will be well happy. And fat. Fatter.

First attempt too. What the reckoning I'll never get them the same?

7 course tasting menu at Nobu last night, although was pissed so mostly forgot to photo it. Here's a lobster ceviche in Apple jelly with caviar. Also salmon tartare, and a caviar martini. The drink was not only horrifically expensive but pretty foul!






Rest of it was amazing though.

To make up for lack of dinner shots here is gratuitous brunch shot from today.

All looks very nice!!

Is that fried chicken and waffles?! Where did you have that? I know I should be commenting on the other pics, but that looks so good ha.

Tbh it was fantastic! Yea fried chicken, waffles, maple syrup. It was at the Lockhart in Mayfair. Really lovely airy and light place, perfect for reading a paper, bottomless coffee and great brunch. Boozy breakfast cocktails too.

Sounds spot on! Manchester needs places like this.

Had some sous vide confit duck and Toulouse sausages to use up so time for a quick cassoulet. Only had to make some herby breadcrumbs for a quick dinner.

We had cooked breaky for dinner last night,why not

You genuinely have one of the worst diets I've seen.

Do you not worry about what you eat at all and what effect it's going to have on your long term health?

Hush. I'm just finally pleased to see a post from him containing any kind of punctuation, and a photo that didn't look like "50 shades of beige".

I've just had lunch, but going on then I could eat again.

yea, was a bit of a revelation being able to book, and it not being a hipster hangout full of tools. Still, Splendid Sausage Co in Manc does chicken and waffles, and although i've not been there yet, it's on the list!

You've given me an idea for Friday, steak, RAW.

Nice big bit of salmon, pan-fried in butter until nice and crispy... delicious

That looks lovely, I must pan fry it next time. I've been doing them in the oven, which doesn't crisp the skin.

Mercifully the skin generally sticks and there is little temptation to serve it.

Odd, that doesn't look like saucisse de Toulouse?
No matter, I could eat that right now

I thought exactly the same when I first bought them. They're bright pink (inside!) when cooked and need to be poached to begin with as they are very salty.

My general experience is Toulouse sausage is more herbs, in these none visible.

However, my ex head chef (who is French) assured me they are authentic and they come from a French supplier.

Maybe its a specifc type, I don't know. Anyway, that was the last of them unfortunately.

Should be roughly chopped pork, salt, pepper and a tiny amount of sugar. Certainly never pink when cooked.
Sounds like the equivalent of Cheddar made in Scotland...

Toulouse sausages tend to be a courser mince. What you have there (from your description) sounds more like 'saucisse'. These are pink and very salty, although they're usually long and thin.
