The **Now Eating** Thread

I spectacularly failed to get pictures of the food but at our work's Christmas party last night the catering was amazing. I had...

- Hams, cheeses, olives, bread, mini-meatballs, mini-arancini from Daphne's (of South Kensington) to start
- Two (or three :o) mini prawn and scallop burgers in brioche bun, and a tiny bit of fish pie from J. Sheekey
- Mini beef-burger, cottage pie and rocket salad from The Ivy.
- Ice cream cones from Chocolate Pretzel (I think it was called?)

Late night snacks were immense -- mini ham and raclette-ish cheese toasties and deep fried squares of macaroni cheese :eek: Soooooo good!! :cool: Those prawn and scallop burgers were unbelievably addictive.

I'll see if anyone got pics of the food stalls and post up for you.
 
Was going to have rib-eye steak tonight but the one I took out of the freezer was one of the ones I got from Westin Gourmet and was so thin, it would have been nigh on impossible to get it cooked properly. I decided to make a stir fry instead with a few bits from the fridge and some oyster sauce. Served with jasmine rice. Was very nice indeed.

Awesome. I can totally appreciate how much work goes into these.

There's no way commercially people would pay for hand made pork pies. The time and effort is enormous.

Lovely bit of English mustard with them?

Mustard definitely required :)

They're a lot of effort but worth it. That said, by the time I've finished eating the giant batches I make I'm generally pretty bored of pork pies :p
 
Last weeks roast was disappointingly well done! (The beef not the effort) As it was just me and Mrs Lego this week, I broke out the medium rare beef (though closer to medium after it was sliced and rested)
