Those pasties look fantastic!

I'm intrigued by the Oxford sausages. Can you post a recipe?

This strange "gyoza pizza" arrived at the gate this afternoon. Free sample. As I already had my dinner cooking, I only had a taster but my wife ate half of it.

Lemon potatoes - I'd forgotten how delicious they are.

Right..I don't do them very often, either..usually when paired with some kind of Greek meat dish..I ate more of them than anything else..

Mmmm, I haven't had a good souvlaki in years; not since my favourite Greek joint on 77th and Broadway- Big Nick's - closed.

They used to sell their pork souvlaki as "mixed grill" saying it was part lamb. Over years of patronizing the place, I found out that they would save the fat from lamb roasts and frenched racks, mince it, then render the lamb fat a little, then mix it into the marinating pork chunks.

The lamb fat gave the pork an amazing taste, especially when served on a pita with lettuce, tomato, raw onion, feta, and tsatsiki.

Oh, man, now I want souvlaki.

Unfortunately, I have to use back loin as that is what we cut our boneless chops from at the deli. I leave a bit of back fat on and try to skewer them for maximum efect when grilling. Once they are dipped in the tzadziki it tastes pretty good.

Yes, that's what "soaking" the fairly lean pork chunks in lamb fat was for. It added a certain sompin sompin.

Hiw do you make your tsatsiki?

Usually, yogurt, cucumber, lemon juice, garlic, mint or dill, salt, peoper. And fresh parsley

One thing we have discovered is focaccia to share, 1 chunk each of the freshest lightest focaccia I have ever tasted served with a hot bowl of melted garlic butter to dip the bread in.

The October thread is here: What did you cook, eat or drink today (October 2018)?

My birthday dinner at work last night was a good one, albeit lonely.

Sausage, pepper (both hot and sweet), and onion pizza; thin crust, not too much cheese. A few shots of Dave's Insanity Sauce for the kicker.

I may have to hold on to the toilet seat this morning, or risk attaining low Earth orbit.

Belated Happy Birthday! but I'm REALLY glad I'm not around you...

Lol, thanks, med.
