That burger looks OMG!

I want to try and start making burger buns like that.

Looks like a brioche bun. Was it?

Could be just an ordinary bun with a milk and egg wash.

That can only be a good thing for the NHS

just enjoyed some Drunken Noodles from the local(ish to work) Thai noodle bar.

Very tasty, not spicy enough, despite asking for extra hot...

nice one, ive just sent of a complaint email as we were told we had to buy extra portions and as a result of the skinny fries going cold/hard within minutes we all left most of them and went home hungry

cainer, you going out for lunch has shattered my illusions somewhat. i always thought you were house bound and were due to be seen on a channel 5 documentary with a crane lifting you out of your house because your doors weren't wide enough.

i sleep in the lounge and can roll get out via the double patio doors

 

[MrMarvelous]

Gonna get myself an omelette cob. Picture to follow later.

 

[MrMarvelous]

Decided on boiled eggs instead.

Starter tonight was fresh oysters. I went to my local fishmonger today to buy a bit of monkfish for tomorrow's dinner and spotted the oysters and couldn't resist. Served fairly standard with lemon juice and tabasco. Very fresh and very tasty.



Main course was Pan-Seared Five-Spice Duck Breast with Balsamic Jus served with mushroom cous cous (I cheated, it was the Ainsley Harriet packet stuff ), fine beans, spinach and carrots. Very, very tasty. I've saved the recipe to make it again. I cooked the duck for less time than the recipe suggested but it still wasn't as pink as I'd like it. Next time I'll miss out the oven bit and do it a bit longer on the skin side as the skin could have been a bit browner. Apart from that, a success. The jus was very nice.



I now have a kitchen that looks like a bomb's hit it Not doing anything about it tonight, it'll have to wait until tomorrow

Prawn cocktail crisps and cheese coleslaw sandwich!

I wish I could get on with oysters. I'm not in any way a squeamish eater and love pretty much all seafood and shellfish, but I've just never enjoyed the oyster experience.

 

[Craig1981]

I'd like to try oysters. But I've only been to a few places that even serve them, and never had the nerve to order them. I'm always worried the texture of them going down would make me throw up

 

[MrMarvelous]

Banana.

Tomato soup... I'm not very well so had to have soup

Not sure if this should be in the now drinking thread though instead.
