I echo the sentiment, but you lost me at pineapple.

only a few hundred years ago pineapples were the price of a house. The food of the gods.

Family all away, so cooking solo

Looks terrible, but I’ve been giving it out, so you gotta take it, if the game is to be any fun!

Marinated two lamb steaks (one for tomorrow) in lemon, oregano, salt and olive oil since this morning, then grilled it at highest heat. Had some nice cooking chorizo under the grill as well

Made some M&S frites and heated some mojo sauce I got from my Spanish “dealer” earlier today

Then ruined the plating up





Got some nice Spanish aged sheep cheese as well

So were tulips, but doesn't mean you should eat them.

I started with spicy scallops last night, with bacon, chilli and spring onion.



Main was half a dozen of these bad boys. Served with a home made garlic, soy and chilli oil dipping sauce.



I was pleased with it, and it impressed my date so that was a result.

I take it that was in a restaurant?

Looks good

Well it was home made dipping sauce so i'd say 'at home'

I did note that but it might have just been the way the menu read

Anyway, I’d happily scoff that - hope they enjoyed it and it leads to more dates

Thanks, I was pleased with it. The 'victim' is sometimes referred to as the cellar dweller on the breakfast thread.

425g 28 day Cheshire farm ribeye with Mexican accoutrements.

[Blown2CV]

how did you manage to cook it medium whilst barely colouring the outside?

[ZedLeg]

Some chimmichurri would’ve gone really well with that.

[Carl_Manchester]

for these higher end farm 400g+ steaks you sear on both sides on the griddle then oven cook for 7 minutes. check it at 5 minutes.

for rare same process but reduce the oven cooking time to around 4 minutes.

for a 380g supermarket steak the griddle is fine as the meat texture and weight is different.

Thursday night, I managed to get two emperor prawns for the ruby Murray.

I'm not a massive steak fan but it looks pretty good to me. Inside looks perfect.

Definitely home made!

The other giveaway was your home made sauce not wiped off the rim of the dish

hello a friend recommended me this thread because I said I was looking for a well done argument about steaks.

Guilty m'lud. It was a picture of the second serving is my only excuse.

“Home made” chicken Milanese with spaghetti el hoopa

[Raccaccoonie]

I went to this Italian Cafe, great reviews.

What i got was the thinnest Milanese known to man, the breadcrumb was thicker, it looked like it came from Iceland. The pasta was domino, it was a joke really. One sprig of basil. What got me was surely anyone with taste buds could see how ste it was but they didn't.

Yours in comparison is excellent.
