Smells (And Looks) Like Fish. Tastes Like Chicken.

Lunch today.....

I made a big pot of Brunswick Stew last night... had a bowl of that for lunch today! Yum- yum!

can't stand the sight of fish

I never could stand the sight of fish-the way the white meat flakes apart! I look at it and get all fidgety and get psyched out.

Well, then try raw fish. It's not flakey.

Yes, the cheese sandwiches and milk are definitely a Netherlands thing...I was in Groningen about 10 years ago visiting the KPN (phone company) office there for a meeting. Lunch was brought in from the canteen...cheese sandwiches and a pitcher of milk. Was definitely not what we're used to in the US, although it was good (I really like the European cheese sandwich...crusty bread, buttered, interesting cheese, cucumber slices and/or tomato slices, maybe a leaf of lettuce). They serve this type sandwich on Lufthansa...mmm mmm good.

Interesting...if one has a catered buffet-type lunch in Kansas City, it is frequently barbecue. Good stuff that.

To get back on-topic, lunch yesterday was homemade asian noodles with chicken (I found the recipe in a coupon insert for Mueller's pasta...it was very good left over), and a slice of pizza from the canteen downstairs.

well since its the weekend i actually have time to cook something inventive so today myself and my best mate knocked up something quite wonderful.
It was...
Red wine beef (basically diced beef steaks cooked in a fruity red wine, one bottle for the meat, one for the chefs).
'Custom' Risotto- we found the base recipe for a risotto and decided we wanted something with a tomatoey flavor to go with the meat so made a risotto based on that. Basically we cooked the rice in beef stock, added diced bacon and onion and some diced tomato, simmer slowly over a course of time, wonderful results.
Also i decided to put in extra effort and make a loaf of fresh bread to go with it, my hands really hurt from all that kneeding lol.
LOL i'm such a showoff, oh well, u asked so i told

Leftovers

Lunch, when I am at my parents' place is always leftovers. I had made cog au vin the night before, so they had a chicken casserole and I had pad noodles with the tofu in peanut sauce, rewarmed. Living dangerously, I know.
Broccoli dusted with Parmagiana cheese and rocky-road ice cream for desert.

Europeans are a much more mixed group genetically than the num-nuts doing their work in the 19th and early 20th centuries would have had us believe. I have Irish and Scottish relations who can't do gluten or milk, Italian relations who live on milk and a German cousin who swears Bier kills him...

Actually, in the Netherlands they do dairy better than anyone in the world. I have had cheese sandwiches in Amsterdam worth dying for. But, then, of all the European countries, the big-city Dutch (not the countryside) and the Italians (everywhere) have the best lunch menus.

Being a 1950s Catholic

It's still "fish on Friday" for me. Tilapia fillets poached in vermouth with a sprinkle of Old Bay. Stouffer's mac&cheez on the side. Ice tea.

I'm hoping these observances will get me complimentary hosings-down in Purgatory...

Here in the USA, breakfast is the smallest meal..(well we do "English" versus "Continental" breakfasts sometimes...

Lunch is notmally mid-sized and dinner the largest.

In a restaurant the price of the same exact foods (served in the the same exact way) will go up from brekfast to lunch to dinner...........

Asd how about in your conrer of the universe?
