What did you cook or eat today (September 2022)?

[Frizz1974]

I had to look that up. Sounds interesting. I have found a vegan version as well. Note I just need any excuse to visit the fresh food markets and those little thin, narrow but very long Asian shops that stock anything and everything. I was at one at the weekend but they didn't have what I wanted. I might see if I can try again...

The first time I had Korean rice cakes was in a fancy restaurant. They were the solid rod, about finger length and obviously fresh made, then brushed with just enough Gochujang to make crushed peanuts stick to them and then pan fried. Really incredible.


The next few times was in Korean restaurants around Eastwood and I just loved them. Chewy interesting texture.

If you use miso instead of dashi you could easily veganise these.

There’s a few options. They come vac packed, frozen or shelf stable dried in slices.

Last night's dinner was hake fish and shrimp à bulhão pato. This is a traditional portuguese dish usually made with clams, cooked in a simple sauce that has garlic, white wine and a lot of coriander, but I made mine with fish and shrimp and a side of rice and sautéed vegetables.

And we took some black sesame ice cream home

I’m so intrigued by this. Never had it, need to go to an Asian supermarket.

Same, same but on a Tuesday.

See, I'm not always predictable......

There are vegan dashi as well. Spiral Foods make one and there are a number of others as well... I found be tempted to consider using Amazon again! Not used it since I left the UK in 2016 but I have found a few Korean food options along with Shoyu soy sauce as well which I've not been able to source even in the Asian shops.

then we went to a 15th century place for lunch!
Grilled swordfish, sautéed potatoes, wilted spinach, followed by a dee-vine cheesecake slathered with black cherries. Wife had a children`s portion of Sunday Roast and still couldn´t finish it.

I asked in another thread but what/where is the 15th century restaurant?

I wonder if I’d find it here. Eastwood famously has a Korean/Japanese side and a Chinese side.


I will be down your way on the weekend of the 17/18 of Sep with friends - we’ve an air bnb in Richardson.

It's really delicious. I'm surprised It's not a form of gelato

My homemade greek yogurt

Well that should undo all of your involuntary dieting!

What got me is, that pudd isn’t that big, that’s a salad plate it’s sitting on, but according to the fine folks at Walker’s, that’s six portions. That means a single good forkful is a serving.

Now, I may not have eaten the whole thing, but I can assure you, I had more than a forkful!

I think after feasting all day at Christmas, most people don't have much room left in their tummies!

Not to mention, it’s an incredibly rich dish, plus it’s usually topped with hard sauce or brandy butter (or if you’re like lazy me, a splash of bourbon and a hunk of butter)…but I still had more than one serving!

Tuna burger with fries and broccoli.

The Ringlestone Inn, Harrietsham. 1533. Lovely Inglenook fireplace, great beer.
