This is a proper dinner. ^^^

Something you think of all the following day when you just have sandwiches. ^^^

Your NY meal sounds like "pan-Asian" Korean BBQ in a Japanese restaurant. But those gyu-kaku are all over the place...I know I've passed by ones on 3rd ave in midtown and in the theatre district. What did you think?

I've mastered the art of making tattie scones....don't know why I never made them before as they're dead easy to do and taste brilliant hot or cold.

Not too keen on haggis to be honest......a couple of spoonfuls pinched from someone elses plate has always been enough for me. I have a relation in Washington State who is sending me her clootie dumpling recipe so I shall have a bash at making that.
You can do almost anything with a clootie dumpling.....eat it cold,eat it hot with a fry up, eat it as a dessert with custard or cream. You can even play fitba with it.

I've been to the Astor Place location twice. Was quite good. We got the Geisha package which is more than enough food for 2 people though it is the smallest package offered. The meat quality is good. Only had 1 short rib piece that wasn't up to snuff. Also it's fun as a group as you interact and can cook your meat to exactly how you want it. I like a lil moo in some pieces.

Homemade jerky.

I have been called many things ...... :D

Location: UK-Hampshire-home
Meal: Lunch

Chicken Korma, pillau rice, paratha, and Paulaner beer ....... followed by Sachertorte and cream .... expresso and armagnac and probably a doze.

uk1....it would seem you only eat lunch?

Well noticed. Lunch is the main meal.

For reasons that others would find boring I have been able for the last 30 years or so to nearly always be able to prepare lunch at home (we're lucky to live in more than one place) for my wife and myself and any employees or clients who were here near enough every day - except when traveling. They ... for some reason ... always seem to like being here at lunch time ....... Some of my work with clients is also sometimes done on a beach at our place in Devon .... and a couple of times on a cruise ship ...

Even when away lunch is the main meal as I don't like restaurants in the evening. As a business person I've always been an opportunist and all of those opportunities only ever seemed to emerge in my mind at lunch time ........ ;)

Anyway ....

Location: UK-Hampshire-home
Meal: Lunch

Lamb mouusaka with Castillo De Calatrava (only sadly 12.5% .......)

What are other people eating?! I must know!

Well for lunch I'm about to have the remains of last nights Cottage Pie. :rolleyes:

Location: New York, NY-Home
Lunch: Slow cooked spring marinara sauce with baby zucchini, 3 types of peppers, english peas, eggplants and onions with crumbled turkey sausage over brown basmati rice.

Interesting combination .. a surprise to see rice rather than the (slightly) more obvious pasta ..

Marinara with any seafood in it?

I only eat pasta out at restaurants as part of my new diet. I substitute brown rice in small portions at home instead. I usually will put some seafood into the dish but had this fresh homemade turkey sausage I wanted to use up before going to get some fish.

Interesting. We've had both turkey bacon and turkey sausage in the same day.

Did you make the sausage?

My friend's off the boat Italian grandmother made it for me. It was her first try with turkey and came out pretty damned tasty.
