Made my mum scallops (her favourite), pan-fried, with baked sweet potatoes, leeks and salsa prezzemolo. This involves a small fuckton of flat-leaved parsley, the juice of a lemon, two cloves of garlic, some anchovy paste (or anchovies) and a load of olive oil, and is amazing.

It was a sauce I reconstructed from fairly distant memory and we ended up doing some research. It's one of those dishes that has many different versions, like folk songs. There's a non-fishy one involving capers and cornichons, and one involving hard-boiled eggs. Like folk songs, salsa prezzemolo also merges into other European sauces entirely like sauce gribiche, salsa verde, pesto etc.

Given that's a 7 litre stockpot, I reckon that's about 6kg of game casserole.

Suspect some freezing in will be sensible!

Cheese, leaf and cucumber wrap.

 

[Rebelda]

Cold chicken shish, lots of salad.

A wholemeal wrap with beef, lettuce, tomato, cucumber and mustard. Very tasty, although could have done with a bit more mustard.

I like fishcakes. I'm trying not to eat animal products atm. I can manage without most meaty things, esp bc they don't have proper bacon here but I do miss fish.

Tin of sardines in tomato sauce and an apple.

Fishcakes are mostly mash anyway I'm kidding. I reckon I could do without meat if i still had seafood.
