What are you having for lunch/dinner? (Part 1)

Have’nt decided on tonight’s menu yet, I’ll wait to see what’s on offer. :wink:

No fish n chips, Nero?

Shiu mai chicken dumplings with regular and wasabi dipping sauce, mini shrimp spring rolls, and a dish of sweet corn.

I was thinking about prawn balls but decided against it, . . I think that’s cruelty. :lol:

:lol::lol::lol:you may well be right Nero…!

I think its only classed as cruelty if they are still attatched to the prawns :shock:

:lol::lol::lol:

OH cooked chips again! Peppered steak (Quorn) and tomatoes, I am sure he is jealous that I lost weight and wants me to put it back! I always have a yoghurt afterward too, my favourite is prune or rhubarb.

Oh yes, . . I’ve had my chips, and a fish, . . luverly. :smiley:

Thought you might! Shrimp creole here tonight.

Had mine earlier, . . . one of the tastiest treats there is IMO, . . Kippers, fresh from the North sea. :slight_smile:

I have just had a roast dinner.

Never seen a fresh kipper. The Food program I watch sometimes was showing a netful of fresh-caught sardines the other night.

A kipper is a whole herring, that has been split in half, gutted, salted or pickled, and cold smoked. They are delicious. Do you not maybe get them in delis over your way DM?

Possibly; I’ve heard of pickled or smoked herrings; suspect they are carried here. How do you fix a pickled herring? (Azz said dumb questions were allowed here! :mrgreen:)

Steam it DM, I use a steamer dish in the micro.

Methinks I’ll have another two kippers again today, it always keeps the lads in Peterhead in a job don’t it. :slight_smile:

Surely a pickled herring is a rollmop - Scandanavian style? Eaten ‘raw’ if that’s how you describe it. ‘Cooked’ by the action of the vinegar but never subjected to any smoke or heat.
A smoked herring is a kipper or possibly a bloater, Arbroath Smokie etc, depending on how it is treated

You can eat pickled or soused herring raw but I prefer to cook them, when I worked as a docker we used to export them to America in wooden barrels and the stink off them was terrible.

Tonight…
Steak and mushroom pie with flaky pastry (I made a batch a couple of weeks ago and froze them, just have to add the top) ,
a small jack potato with lots of butter,
runner beans from the freezer.

Damsons (from the freezer) and custard :slight_smile:

Yesterdays leftover roast rib of beef, saute potatoes, carrots & peas. If still hungry, cheese and biscuits

Hmmm not got any idea may be a “look and see night”
