I don't think I have an all-time favourite meal really. It'll probably be something quick and easy, like baked salmon or tuna pasta.

Whatever it is it has to be washed down with a couple of glasses of fizz

Could be, could be.
Firky - I've had buff steak loads of times in Nepal and it was never dry! Big, fat, moist, tender, tasty fuckers....OMG!Pricey here though!
Mine was shite, has put me off getting it again. I did freeze it however but I've done that before with picanha cuts and it's always been good. I can't bring myself to freeze fillet steak, it would be like adding lemonade to good whisky or something.
Thinking am going off meat in general anyway. I like steak but I get sick of meat and that is why I am just having a load of veg tonight: asparagus fried in butter, jersey tatties, peas (love peas!!), few baked cherry tomatoes and butternut squash and pinenuts to bulk it out a bit.
Actually now I type that out I may have all that with baked cambert instead of butternut squash n pinenuts :hhm:
There must be something you BOTH love to eat - that's more what I mean. I'd probably just get lashed, plan to eat something, fail to eat anything, and have to bunk off work next day due to the hangover.
Not that I've done that before.

Did a chorizo and chicken pasta in the end. Opened the '07 Bordeaux our ex-landlady gave us as a farewell present. It was pretty good!There must be something you BOTH love to eat - that's more what I mean.

Rounds of tapas this evening thanks to some company from California. First time in many months. I am stuffed.
All came with a glass of Rioja. Most at just €1.50 for tapas and drink.
1. Small cheesey omlette thing on bread with olives.
2. Pulpo and chips.
3. Sort of braised pork with bread and green beens fried in olive oil with garlic.
4. Sort of pickled sardines on bread with manchega cheese and chips.
5. Bacon and manchega on bread with oliojo (can't spell - can't be arsed. Garlic mayo).
3 off us eating and drinking quality wine came to less than €40 for the evening There are benefits to crisis!

After a mostly veggie diet in India I practically lived hereFirky - I've had buff steak loads of times in Nepal and it was never dry! Big, fat, moist, tender, tasty fuckers....OMG!
in Pokhara. Their 'Trekkers Special', designed for anyone that's been on the trail and living off dhaal bhaat for weeks on end is the bomb. It consists of four different buffalo steaks, chips and all the veg. I had it after going up to Annapurna. I'd not had a drink for about a month either so I washed it all down with two bottles of Chilean Merlot that you can get from the shop downstairs. And then smoked a pack of fags.
That realigned me chakras good and proper.
Good view out back too:

Мы вас похороним!
missus is out tonight, so pot noodle and red stripe.
Correct order obviously
Haddock poached in spicey vegetables. Very nice.
Took me over an hour to clean the kitchen before I could start. Serious words with a certain housemate tomorrow!
Garlic fried lightly in a little olive oil. Sliced potato and red pepper. Crushed chili and crushed pepper corns. Fry for 20 minutes before adding chopped tomatoes and a little water. Boil on a high heat until all is soft. Keep adding water as necessary. A sprinkling of oregano.
Add haddock fillets. Simmer each side for 10 minutes. Salt and serve .
Very nice. Very healthy.

My flatmate very kindly cooked me dinner whilst I packed for holiday... She made chilli and it were lush.
Lebanese food - incredible, starters of grilled hallumi with mint salad and tomato, another salad with yellow aubergine and pomengrates, a main of a 'Beirut combo' with filo cheese pastry parcels, vine leaves stuffed with rice, hummus, a kind of mild thai spiced style curry, grilled sea bass in lemon and butter and pitta bread to mop it up. Supported by my favourite 'Old fashioned' cocktail and red wine
