Weekend special at Scran. Not one of their best, but it was still reasonably good. Ox cheek pot roast with haggis pakora, home made lime pickle chickpeas, popadoms and toasted almonds. The popadoms were freshly made and crispy. And the meat was very tender

Had lunch at Bread Meats Bread. Been a while since the last time I ate there. Had the avocado steak sandwich. Comes with American cheese, tomatoes, smashed avocado and crushed spicy Cheetos. Was really nice. Got it with a side of poutine. Love it!

corned-dog hash (caramelised onion/potatoe/mixed-herbs) ... comfort food ? one of the justifications for HP, like mac'n'cheese

were those words related to the picture?

jpaul · 26 Feb 2019 at 21:17

dictionary : corned-dog = corned-beef,
HP = that "kindergarten place, where May/corbyn bicker" sauce

maybe they've finished now, and he will tweet some pictures

I just cooked-up a quick Thai inspired prawn curry which was surprisingly good. No picture but I thought I'd list the ingredients before I forget them.

Prawns (I used frozen)
1 red pepper
12 sprouts
1 carrot
2 shallots
1 very large Inferno Chilli
2 cloves garlic
Thumb sized piece of galangal, grated
2 kaffir lime leaves
Rind of 1 lemon
Juice of half a lemon
White pepper
Tblsp ground corriander
Tblsp fish sauce

Served with rice.

I can live with that.

nearly washed past me ... but anyone cooking with sprouts has good credentials ... .. albeit frozen prawns might have toured Thailand.

Thanks. The sprouts were lovely. Yes, the prawns weren't ideal but they'd been in the freezer a while and needed using up.

Payday and I didn't have anything decent in the house for eating, so I decided to get a Dominos for dinner. Their doing a deal for 2 medium pizzas and a side for £19.99. Got the new Catalan Chicken & Chorizo, with the onions swapped for extra chorizo. Second pizza is half chicken feast, half pepperoni passion. And the side I got was the new garlic dippers. Quite nice

EDIT: Phew! Way too much food! Still got about half the slices left. I'll save it for tomorrow

Naitachal · 1 Mar 2019 at 13:11

but the question is.. do you re-heat your leftover pizza or eat it cold?

Scam · 1 Mar 2019 at 13:16

And we wonder why there's an obesity crisis. lol.

Oh come on, a little extreme don't you think?

What's the Catalan chicken like @Craig1981 I really want to try it and see what it's like.

MikeTheNative · 1 Mar 2019 at 16:20

I didn't really like the garlic dippers. They were pretty dry to me, the pizza garlic bread is definitely superior.

Cold. Always cold.

It’s quite nice. With the chorizo, peppers and the drizzle of sauce over it it’s a good pizza.

MrMarvelous · 1 Mar 2019 at 18:57

Can't get over the fact that people will pay £20+ for Domino's pizza.

Wow.

InfiniteNoise · 1 Mar 2019 at 19:29

Forgot to take pics but I had some sushi today.

Domino's pizza is too expensive and meh.
