Scampi, Chips And Peas Here

[ethandron]

What about you?

[pastafreak]

Aldi's seabass fillets,cauliflower couscous,butternut squash. Think there's some white zinfandel that needs drinking.;-)

[EcclesCake]

Pumpernickel, spread with cream cheese mixed with a dash of horseradish, paprika and pepper. Topped with smoked salmon and a squeeze of lemon juice.

now, now, no defeatist talk here......you are only as old (young) as you think you are, ethandron.

[ethandron]

White Zinfandel...now there's one of the very few wines I don't like, the rest I'd scoff.
That's not a meal Eccles, that would be counted as a snack in this establishment.

I always thought that scampi was just fried prawns. Seems not, any bit of fish will do. Remember when pub meals first came out? It was either scampi or chicken with peas and chips in a basket.

[ethandron]

Yep, at a Bernie Inn, on Friday, in my lunch break.

Yeah Jackdaw that "soup in a basket" was a right messy starter. (^_*)

[Jackdaw33]

Soup in a basket.

I remember that expression. How time flies.

[Patsy33]

Homemade beef burgers homemade wedges, salad. Rosé.

[mikey4444]

Steak and Kidney Pie, with sweet corn and roast potatoes. Mandarin oranges and ice cream for afters !

[mikey4444]

Scampi are either Dublin Bay prawns ( Langoustines ) or they are nothing.

Beware of any place that promises you Scampi but can't guarantee the above....its bloody fraud !

[zebo]

Braised pork chops, red cabbage and mashed potatoes, mashed because I forgot about them.

[Tilly2]

Eth, how was last week's beef casserole?

Ham salad here tonight.

[ethandron]

It was the best yet, Tilly, not 10/10 but definitely an improvement.

[pastafreak]

Salad??
Is that salad as in everything on the plate is cold? In this weather....nooooo!

[sunny-dave]

I've been spoiled with two weeks of Portuguese food/cooking -

- home yesterday, so I may try to recreate the mood with sardines on toast, but it probably won't work :(

[Tilly2]

We will have hot steamed potatoes and hot flan. It won't all be cold. Just the ham, the salad and the coleslaw.

[Tilly2]

Are you trying again tomorrow, Eth?

[pastafreak]

Oh...that sounds good Tilly.

[Tilly2]

I hope so, Pasta. You ok?
