Yes .......More or less.....:). it may be called Gol Gappa in Delhi.....
Where I am in India right now, (State of Gujrat ) in Western India. Street food is very popular and affordable all over in India. My two out of three meals are not at home ! Go to You Tube, enter. " Bade Miya Mumbai, or Raju Omlet Vadodara....etc get a real good look at it....several other cities also featured...

Oh, I'm very familiar with street food, in India and elsewhere! Just didn't know if gol gappa was omnipresent in the subcontinent.

Interesting today at my favorite Thai kiosk Eau Claire Calgary.. I had a nice papaya starter accompanied with my Pad Thai, curried beef and chicken. It had quite a few peanuts which I think was a bit overkill, but its a nice vegetarian option to go with the high carb meal.

Brooklyn/Manhattan

-A ginger chew
-Pastrami sandwich with mustard
-Doubles (Trini sandwich made of fried flat bread, curried chickpeas and in this case, tamarind sauce)
-Carrots

Too full to eat anymore, but that doesn't explain why I'm eating banana nut cereal now

This evening@hampshire smoke salmon and chive philadelphia in toasted onion bagels and cheap Pecheur wine. Followed by roasted sweet chestnuts.

Tomorrow, char siu pork my version as said up-thread.

We're eating this again so soon after the last because I received a call from a "friend" who was desperate to talk to me about something "very important" ie "free counsel and advice" q( he is chairman of a travel company) and invited himself to lunch on a day "good for him" and then told me what he wanted me to cook him. He has just emailed - not called - and said he can't make it. Wifey and I had some really good reasons to cancel him today, but didn't. Future lunch access now withdrawn. :rolleyes:

Anyway, I have a unique wife and she and I will have a wonderful day tomorrow, getting over a pretty horrible one today, that involved minus 3 degrees centigrade, no central heating, plumbers, electricians and lots of cash and contemplating lunch tomorrow we never sought.

grrrrrrrr.......

This evening @Ireland:

Thin strips of lamb,sliced onions,scallions,red,green and yellow peppers,lots and lots of garlic, soy and oyster sauces. wok-fried and served up in large wraps.

The wife and kids loved 'em.

Is Philadelphia what all cream cheese-products are called in the UK?

It's akin to asking for a Coke when one wants any soda, I think in some parts of the US.

Chipotle. Hit the spot on a windswept, rainy night.

No, we call cream cheese "cream cheese" and only talk about phily with respect to the specific brand.

Chocolate sour cream cake.
Mmm...

I'll take any and all suggestions for where I can get chocolate sour cream cake or chocolate sour cream donuts... basically anywhere in North America.:p

Yesterday I popped in to my fishmonger to get some frozen jumbo prawns and spotted a large silvery fishy amongst the usual dull merluza fish offering.
I asked where it was from and he showed me the box which stated it was Salmo Salar from Chile....so obviously a farm reared salmon.

For a farm reared fish it looked great so I bought a large steak from it and had it last night. I have to say it was as fresh as a daisy and the best piece of salmon I've ever had and I've tasted both wild and farmed salmon over the years......at £16 a kilo it should be good.
Things are looking up here on the fish front. ^

It's a long way to go to realise you wish you were at home!

Beam you up Scottie!

:D

I know, it's amazing how finding such a common old fish as salmon got me excited...even more so when it turned out to be good quality. I can now make plans to have my simple but favourite poached salmon with broccoli and new potatoes meal. Only thing missing is some dill for the home made mayo. However I bought some seeds of it in the UK so will need to get sowing.
I had thought £16 a kilo was expensive but I see it's around £20 a kilo in the UK nowadays.

You seem to be comparing whole fish prices where you are with center fillet price UK! I'm buying gorgeous filleted sides of salmon for smoking or poaching at £14 per kilo.

So where are you getting your Jersey Royals, ...or Cornish from ... and what about the asparagus .....

Mayo!? :eek: Hollandaise ... please! :)

Get a grip! :D

To stretch the single portion salmon one should add a Super Noodle Bowl ?:D
