So do tuna and fluke (summer flounder). A whole squid for tuna, or a strip for fluke does the trick…..

Wait, we’re not discussing the same bait are we???🙂

I had to look it up after I first tried it in the UK (some pub in Devon putting on airs called it blanc bait). It’s a hodgepodge of baby fish. Maybe 2-3” long. Could be 20 species in a serving. Completely wrong and unsustainable. They take them, dredge in flour and deep fry. Comes with something to dip. A lot like eating French fries, but it’s whole fish. I don’t doubt they could be used to catch something larger. We really are talking about the same thing.

Given the late hour for lunch, Mrs BV had no interest in dinner. So I walked to the nearest pizza joint and bought a slice of cheese and a “club” sub. Which turned out to be a roll with a slice of turkey, lettuce, mayo and a prodigious amount of crumbled bacon. I ate half and I’m a little queasy. I’m hoping tomorrow’s breakfast meat is something other than bacon.

Dinner: subway turkey sandwich, steamed carrots, secret pumpernickel bagel ;)

breakfast... cranberry turkey burgers and mixed greens with melted mozzarella and ketchup

I agree-- that baguette looks great.
And are those caneles on that dessert plate? I want them right now....love those.

Lunch: half a subway sandwich (turkey with veggies on scooped out bread) and mixed steamed veggies with garlic sauce

-J.

Onion bagel.

-J.

Eggs baked in muffin cups with broccoli, cheese and bacon.

Ditto, except for the secret part.

What do I put on a pumpernickel bagel? I don’t have any sandwich foods, so I hope cream cheese and canned cranberry sauce is acceptable.
