What new foods have you tried recently?

[Orang Utan]

Panko breadcrumbs are great on top of macaroni cheese

 

[Mogden]

Bakewell pudding. Omfg.

In a case of irony I've just discovered Congress Tarts which are Cornish and not that far removed from Bakewell Pudding!

How are they price wise? I love Morning Glory but it's stupidly expensive and I assume it's similar. One day I'll treat myself.

So I went back yesterday and bought some more, they were £2.99 for a bunch, which is enough for two meals so not too bad. I also got some in kimchi which were really good, although very strong.

It's the small things in life at the moment, isn't it? Today I am happy because I have finally found some square sourdough bread. Round bread is all very well but I don't like unequal slices. And sourdough makes excellent toast, or would do if it was square.

Anyway, here it is, in M&S, 3 different varieties, there's even a craft beer one.

I've just made patatas al pobre for the first time. Simple, easy and delicious.

Thin slices of onion, potato, and sweet peppers. A little crushed garlic, salt and pepper. Cooked in olive oil, on medium low, stirred from time to time until cooked.

In future I'll add two or three chopped tomatoes, and, for me, some chorizo.

Just had a bottle of Comte de Sennaval champagne. It's recommended as a good one by Good Housekeeping. It's ok. Not a Veuve Cliquot, but I can get three bottles of this for one Veuve.

Sainsbury's own brand Chicken Dippers.

They were adequate but not a patch on the Birds Eye Dippers.

Every day is a journey

I usually add a glug of white wine vinegar or just white wine. When my Dad was alive he spent a lot of time in Spain and used to cook it so it brings back happy memories. It’s annoying how unusual it is to have it served when eating out in Spain. I’ve had it as a side with a few menu de Dias but it’s never advertised so you don’t know your getting it.

It’s a shame, isn’t it? Cheap, filling and tasty. What more could you want?

Much better option than the ubiquitous stringy chips

These were surprisingly good after 12 minutes in the microwave, with a load of tahini on the side.

12 minutes?

 

[UrbaneFox]

Yes.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Yes.

Don't pre-made falafels only take a minute or so to heat up in the microwave?

We get these for quick lunches, they only take 10 to 12 minutes in a conventional oven...

Maybe UrbaneFox's microwave only runs at 50 watts. Or a baking potato was mistaken for a falafel.

 

[UrbaneFox]

Oh, I see, Yes, 12 minutes in preheated oven Fan 180 middle shelf. Sorry.

They were very good, anyway.

I think you should try doing them in the microwave for 12 minutes though, and report back the results.

I shall. Watch this space.

Don't blame me when your house burns down...

Not useful to the vast majority of people (even assuming they're actually open right now), but the small bakery chain "Fabrique" does a really, really awesome square sourdough in a "Mr. Toast" (with rye) and "Mrs. Toast" (all wheat) variety. It's ludicrously expensive for bread, but cheap in the grand scheme of things. And OMG is it tasty in the toaster with butter.

Edit: I got it wrong. Both have rye (and oats, and barley), but Mrs. Toast is 60% rye while the Mister is quite a bit less.

Picked this up. Have been told it is very close to KFC Gravy which is a bit of a guilty pleasure.

That's nice bread - I like the seedy version.

 

[dessiato]

I've no idea what this is, but it tastes great. It looks a bit like peanut butter, and tastes like biscuit filling. If I see it again I'll buy more.

Do you have "biscuits" to go with that ?

Tofu fake scrambled eggs. Pretty good.
