Decent food yesterday, I made a traditional cake with the aperitif, lardons, olives, chilli flakes and grated gruyere in the mixture, served warm it really is so tasty. Drank a few bottles of Cremant de Bourgogne as apero. To start with, smoked mackerel blended with creme fraiche and soft green peppercorns, poached a large fillet of salmon in bouillon let it go cold then pulled into flakes and mixed lightly into the mackerel mixture. Served with sourdough bread, black pepper and lots of caper berries. It is delicious. A few prawns as well with homemade sauce. Two bottles of white burgundy, Auxey Duresses 2015 followed by a stunning 1986 Corton Charlemagne, probably the greatest white wine in the world. This was a dark yellow colour due to age, just how I like it.

Roasted rib of beef, Salers from France. Made dauphinoise spuds and sauteed sprouts in garlic confit plus a big bowl of bearnaise sauce.
Two bottles of red burgundy, Savigny les beaune 2010 followed by another great wine, 1990 Volnay Fremiets 1er cru. Absolutely delish.
Dessert was a homemade treacle tart with a yoghurt ice cream I made saturday. Sadly no piccie of the treacle tart I was pissed.
finished with a 1963 armagnac.

Can i come and live at your house? I would be an excellent washer upper!

Is that fish and chip, with a side of prawn cocktail and crayfish?

If so, that's one of the more bizarre 'seafood platters' I've seen.

No, It was called posh fish and chips was a langoustine with a scallop on the fish. I asked for a pot of the Thermador sauce as had it with lobster last time I was in. It included a pot of tarter sauce behind the chips and at £27.00 thought it was good value. Seafood platter up here is normally on ice or cooked in garlic butter and is £80+ to share.

A couple from the weekend:

The Duck ragu with Pappardelle from Saturday Kitchen cooked by Mrs Miniman https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/pappardelle_wit...

Looks great how was it? I saw this on Saturday kitchen and fancied making it.

It was really good actually. Loads of flavour.

I think in many respects yes. You get all the flavour of a roast with almost zero effort.

Taking liberties with that comment. Your nan's got better taste than that.

Made Korean fried chicken with furikake fries and oyster pak choi.

[craigjm]

I like furikake fries but i put all the spices in the grinder with the nori to create a powder more like peri peri salt. I find it sticks to the honey, oyster and fish sauce better that way.

Which *should come first, the veg or the ham?

Is this one of the Northern things, where people think that 'lunch' is 'dinner' in that breakfast-dinner-tea sequence they have going on? A sandwich is, surely, lunch?

Wife made this for my son tonight.


I was out for for a late lunch so not hungry.

Christ that deserves a call to social services does that.

I clearly remember (50 years ago) that a Fray Bentos would be shared by four of us (Mum would just have some of the chips and baked beans) and Dad would get a bigger bit. Loved it and still do.

Quite enjoy a home made cheat curry.
