What did you cook or eat today (July 2023)?

[TastyReuben]

Guys, these sandwiches are absolutely amazing. I'm gonna work them into my food routine.

Did you use any kind of vinegary sandwich dressing?

Neither of us smoke but I find burning incense incredibly calming. That's why there is s lighter there.

OO and vinegar would be good on that kind of sandwich.

I ate 1/4 of a salmon and bacon bagel (with cream cheese, shallot and capers) for breakfast and brought a banana and a tuna sandwich to eat on the plane (plus the little bags of snack mix they give out).

Skate wing shouldn't take much time to cook at all so I'm puzzled. That actually doesn't look like a skate wing - or if it is, its only part of one.

I cook mine for only 4 to 5 mins per side. See here: Recipe - Skate, Morcambe Bay Shrimps, Salsify

It's what the ticket said at the market. Well, you never know around here - fish gets sold under all kinds of names...

I'm afraid that is true all over.

Looks pretty damn good to me!

Thanks - the batter was crisp and tasty but the restaurants have it lighter and a little airier - next time I will try with a bit more baking soda to see if it bubbles up more and maybe fry it a bit shorter time so it doesn't darken so much.

At the market yesterday I asked the fella what these were - he said 'monkfish'. In fairness to the stallholders, English is not their first language (most of them speak some Chinese dialect as their first - not even Mandarin) so I'll give them some leeway, but come on - there might be a bad translation but in what universe are these monkfish?

The worst repeat offender here is what is sold as cod. It isn't - it's Patagonian Toothfish which they are hawking under that moniker (and not for cheap!) - a far cry from true Atlantic Cod that I am used to in England.

Patagonian tooth fish is sold as Chilean sea bass in the US.

I found using both baking powder and super cold fizzy water combined gives a very light tempura.

I’d still eat the hell out of those though!

Trying to get back to my roots with cooking a bit more, so here's Indonesian style chicken and potato curry with Chinese stir fried cabbage, chillies, garlic and Tempeh.
