...yum yum, don't forget the soy sauce and some fortune cookies !!!

Can anyone recommend somewhere that sells decent, proper Chelsea buns in town? Since the sad demise of Fitzbillies in Cambridge I have been having cravings for a proper, sticky fruity confection, as now I know of nowhere in the world that makes them properly....

Vegan Feijoada?

well made is as good as 'normal' feijoada.

Must resist

Sea bass looks fantastic Spotter. HatBeard, something simple and fresh. Spaghetti alla Vongole as suggested is an excellent one, as is a good salad nicoise - maybe a bit lunchy though. My Mam excelled herself last night with grilled lamb culets, minted pea puree (can be made in advance, is then slathered on top and back under grill for 2 minutes), jersey royals and summer veg. Simple and lish. Do play Barry White though.

Got an insatiable craving for smoked mackerel (checks if pregnant - no, just fat), so popped into a local chi-chi establishment only to find they'd run out. Bought some duck rillettes instead. Eating with a baguette.

West London ponce

smoked and peppered ftw

I tell you, when I get my hands on some mackerel it's not going to be pretty.

Spotter, just a tiny advice from a sardine lover, it will make all the difference.
When you grill sardines they have to be intact, as in, they can't be gutted.
The salt goes in to the gills, loads of it, and that's it.

When/if you remove the guts of sardines, the high heat will make them look
and taste like....well, shite.

Just like that:

duly noted thank you

Duck Rillette beats the shit out of Mackerel. Any mackerel.

i must confess to not being overly keen on duck, i'll eat it, but its not my favorite. I also dislike orange in food for some reason, so duck a l'orange is out for me

Home cooked orange and bay-leaf rice pudding - gorgeous.

plain rice pudding with home made plum jam, got to have big chucks of plum in too, none of the the smooth crap

...duck a l'orange....

Winner.

I'm about to grill some sardines, and drink some sangria. Get some sun. It's like weekend today.

Did they change from making shoes then?

that's what they serve the food in.

That Christian metal band have a restaurant?? Batty.

I doubt anyone cares but decided that as my date likes fish that tonight I'm going to make the Sicilian fish stew that I made a few pages back. will serve with some crusty bread and a lemon tart for dessert. nothing too fussy but shows I've put some effort into it I think.
