Birds eye pretend zinger burger sliced up and put in a wrap with a garlic and herb dressing that came with a pizza, some curly fries. Himself had firecracker prawns in a wrap with normal chips and cajun onion rings. The small went for a huge bowl of macaroni cheese with strawberry jelly for pudding.

Cor, well impressed with these - best I've ever had apart from homemade.

Ooh cheers will give them a go. They normally sell bacon, so would never have guessed they go this route. ❤❤

ACTUAL bacon, or facon?!

 

[Ron Merlin]

Actual bacon bacon - air-dried and lovely, a regular on my food orders.

While I'm here, tonight it's sirloin steak, chips, caramelised onion, rocket and cherry toms. Rioja.

 

[May Kasahara]

Husband made gozleme with roast veg on the side, it was brilliant! I'm having fruit salad and yoghurt with a ginger tea for pud.

 

[sheothebudworths]

We had pomegranate molasses and sumac halloumi/chicken thighs and roast veg, with a bulghur, tomato and cucumber salad but it wasn't as good as it might have been had the air fryer arrived, which it - predictably - did not!
The oven here is so shite - it's one of those massive range cooker type things but with only a single, huge (fan or grill only) oven.
Undoubtedly costs a fortune to heat, but doesn't evenly distribute the heat so I'm constantly having to turn things around and move them to hotter spots - plus it just seems to create more steam for all the space. I don't understand the point of them!

ETA - the only good bit is having the large central ring on the gas hob which is far better for stir fry's etc than any other cooker I've used - although I then only mostly use two out of the other four rings. And I WOULD get the point if it had a smaller and larger oven instead of just the one gigantic fucker, which I know lots of them do, tbf.

I take it you were on the watch for any cream based shenanigans?

Forgot to take pics

But I had a lovely meal, crab gateaux to start in an orange and mango dressing, pan fried mullet with Mediterranean veg and beetroot pesto, and a cheeky 3 mini desserts on the house (tiramisu, lemon posset and white chocolate and orange cheesecake) as one of my dining companions didn’t like their mussels much.

We didn’t get to our table until quite late as the previous people had dawdled a bit, and the kitchens were very busy but luckily by the time we had ordered food, they’d caught up a bit and had our main course by 10pm. Very nice place, friendly staff and good food cooked well and a lovely view of the harbour. Will go again.

I didn’t know the Italians used whole eggs. I’ve been using only yolks in carbona, which is a pain as I’m always throwing away the egg whites.

You can freeze egg whites for future use in meringue or whatever else you might need egg whites for - they freeze fine

 

[Aladdin]

Will be having panfried salmon darnes in garlic butter with veg and boiled new potatoes.
Followed by warm apple and pear cake with custard

 

[Badgers]

Today I am working at Bangla Fest so it will be something delicious from a stall

I’ve tried that and just end up with frozen egg whites in the freezer for a year or however long it takes before I throw them away. I’m just not a meringue kinda guy.

 

[onenameshelley]

Very, very slow cooked pork ribs, in a home made rub. Not sure whether to go with mash potatoes or veggie rice. Small one wants pasta
