What's on the menu?
 

Well I think we have established from "my people often ask forum" that I am feeling a little homesick this week, so why not really tip me over the edge and tell me what great British food you are all eating today.
So what's on the menu today for you folks?

Re: What's on the menu?
 

I am half heartedly trying The Stone Age Diet, which means
Breakfast like an Emperor, lunch like a King and supper like a pauper
So I am having home made tomato soup with home made brioche

having a bacon and egg breakfast every morning is getting boring -must remember to order some kippers

Re: What's on the menu?
 

Ham shank and peas, with dumplings, lovely. :)

Re: What's on the menu?
 

Today I made a home-made plate meat and onion pie...and we had new potatoes and peas with it....followed by Jam tart and Ice cream.
Yesterday it was Cumberland pie(a version of Cottage pie) with cabbage and carrots...no dessert.

Re: What's on the menu?

Now that is what I call traditional British food

Re: What's on the menu?
 

You should try them with peanut butter ... smashed banana on a slice of bread covered with crunchy peanut butter:mosher:

Re: What's on the menu?
 

Ewwww... I don't like peanut butter... and I wouldn't "smash" my bananas

Well... not til I chew em:D

Re: What's on the menu?
 

just had a top stew, which the boss made with cut steak etc, with a pile of buttered buts. followed by ice cream.:)

Re: What's on the menu?
 

... followed by clogged arteries:eek:

For me: bambi burgers and fries, a nice salad, a bottle of wine, a fire, candles, music ... and a nice walk with my best friends:D It's the simple things .........

Re: What's on the menu?
 

Was yummy, we had pork steaks braised in gravy, mashed and roast potatoes, cauliflower, brocolli, carrots and peas. Afters was Mums home made apple pie with cream:)

Re: What's on the menu?
 

as i always say to folk Eric...........Never mistake me fer somebody that gives a ****:D;)

Re: What's on the menu?
 

Leg and thigh of crispy roast duck with black cherry sauce, saute potatoes and blackcuurent yoghurt for desert. All for the cost of two plates of fish and chips.

Re: What's on the menu?
 

don't know about british? but chicken fajitas

Re: What's on the menu?
 

Papa Rien (minced beef, chopped eggs and spices in mashed potato balls), washed down with pisco sour (Peruvian firewater with agastura bitters and whipped egg whites).

Re: What's on the menu?
 

Is that an Afro or a put me to bed quietly and dont disturb menu? :)

Re: What's on the menu?
 

The latter! ;)

Re: What's on the menu?
 

I had "Oeufs frits et les croustilles et les fèves au lard"

Egg,chips and beans ;)

Re: What's on the menu?
 

Cheap skate....I thought you might be into jellied eels or pie and mash? :)

Re: What's on the menu?
 

I don't know about the food ... egg yolks are too high on the cholesterol scale for me: five and a half hours under the knife stimulates one to read labels .... however, the hooch sounds great .... and what particular kind of firewater would that be; is there a brand I should be looking for? My hangover has gone; there is hockey on tv, joints in the humidor, and the El Cabo is still open:mosher:

Re: What's on the menu?
 

And I have a couple of Montecristo cigars .... I've come a long way from sharing a woodbine in the bogs at Accy Grammar:theband:

Re: What's on the menu?
 

If you go looking for pisco, Eric, make sure it's Peruvian pisco, not Chilean (or so Mrs H says, but she would say that). It's made from distilled grapes and it's strong. The brand I was drinking last night is called, appropriately enough, "La Diablada". Must go and get a black coffee now...my head hurts.

Re: What's on the menu?
 

we had Ham Shank and Peas the other night but I never do dumplings with it.... Might try that next time,

Tonights is an easy tea, Fray Bentos pies with chips and peas.

Re: What's on the menu?
 

"La Diablada" .... got it .... so your head hurts, eh. Stay away from the egg yolks ... they'll do it every time;)

Re: What's on the menu?
 

Always had dumplings with it, ever since I was little.
I now put a finely chopped onion in with it and a handful of pearl barley.

Broth tomorrow, just another excuse to have dumplings, lol. :D

Re: What's on the menu?
 

Today i had just a sausage roll, tomorrow my daughter is making me and her dad Lemony prawn bruschettas for starters and pepperoni pasta for our main meal:D, she practicing her cookery for school on us lol, cant wait to eat those big fat juicey prawns,,, yummy!!

Re: What's on the menu?
 

Nothing interesting for me Magily to make your mouth water.

Had a cheese and onion flan, curly fries (chips shaped into a screwlike shape .. luv 'em) with salad ... unfortunately, I had knocked my fridge temperature by mistake up to 4 .. (on a scale of 1 > 4) so cucumber, radishes and some peppers had turned to mush .. LOL. Still had enough left though.

Not into desserts, 'cept perhaps one night a week, and treat myself to a cream eclair (I bet you can't get any double cream like over here). That Cookie Dough ice cream looked tempting though that I buy for my Grandaughter.

Re: What's on the menu?
 

You are right about the cream.
It has been oddly fascinating reading what everyone has been eating. I think a lot of the food has become much more "American", I remember when I first came here, my family were thrilled to taste frozen yoghurt, blueberry muffins and their favourite waffles.
Now you can get so much more over there, although this is for Eric I am sure he will agree nothing beats Tim Hortons over here.

Re: What's on the menu?
 

Going out for tea tonight to our local British pub the SLUG & LETTUCE,
Beef & Guinness pie followed by Spotted Dick, washed down with a Coopers Pale Ale:)

Re: What's on the menu?
 

tonight at my local hole in the wall (los mocaljetes) , quesadillas, carne asada Burrito , with guacamole and sour cream on the side, washed down with Horchata , ......Good food , but rubbish tejano music

Los Molcajetes Mexican Restaurant - Castro Valley, CA

the second review kind of gives you an idea about where I live ;) :D

Re: What's on the menu?
 

I used to love dumplings when I was young, the old lady used to make great broth with dumps, tried it myself once, went in the kitchen half an hour after adding the dumplings, thought the Blob had returned from the arctic, they were all over the place:D

Re: What's on the menu?
 

The Slug & Lettuce:rofl38::rofl38::rofl38:

Re: What's on the menu?
 

There is a Slug and Lettuce in Southport - it is part of a chain of pubs that do food
http://www.slugandlettuce.co.uk/

strange that it isn't listed on their website

Re: What's on the menu?
 

Don't think I'd be ordering a salad if I went for a meal in that pub Margaret:D

Re: What's on the menu?
 

There is a god, and his name is Tim Horton:mosher: ... there's a Timmy's in Kandahar; and I believe the govt. is going to put one at the North Pole in order to establish Canada's sovreignty over the Arctic .... and now, it's time to Rrrrrrrrrroll Up the Rim .... :theband:

And I remember watching him play ... great defence man for a Leafs team that wasn't a joke.:D

Re: What's on the menu?
 

I won a coffee today, most I've ever won on that Rrrroll up the rim.

Re: What's on the menu?

Having chicken and roasties today :D

Re: What's on the menu?
 

Roast Pork for us with buttered carrots and brussel sprouts(we like 'em)......stuffing, apple sauce and Roasties.......and a yorkie pud too.
Not sure about dessert.......though I don't have dessert these days I do make it for hubby and our guests. It might be rhubarb crumble...or it could just be strawberries and ice cream.

Re: What's on the menu?
 

oh you just reminded me to get the yorkshires out, cheers Margaret :)
