An entree of cured black pig, some bread and local wine, simple flavours in my untamable garden My spicy onions and canned sardines dish with leftover dahl, a nice mix: Spaghetti and portobello mushrooms: Costa, watching me have some olives and white wine. Not looking too pleased but he had just finished his own dinner. That lasanga looks amazing!! And Costa, Costa looks and is amazing!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooN Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 trawling through some photos yesterday amd came across this from our last Britanny trip. In Britanny they make ( apart from crépes) whant they call "Kouign" ( pronounced "Queen") which are pancakes more like blinis and can be savoury or sweet. This restaurant extrapolated this and produces a "Burger Kouine" ( burger King, get it?) which has "Kouine" instead of a bread bun. Bloody lovely! uuuurrrpsss ! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sofia Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Yesterday it was my turn to cook some traditional Portuguese food in the shape of peas in tomato sauce with eggs poached in with the peas. They were being taken out of their skins while I was buying them, couldn't get more organic of I tried!! I also made dhal to go with the peas and everyone was vegetarian and happy about it! The peas were ok, but not as tasty as @Pedro version. He was very much missed again, for the peas and Nürburgring stories! The dahl was one of the best Ive ever made, super tasty and really dont know why!! What I do know is I didnt wash the lentils and there was plentyof fermentation in my tummy afterwards!! The pepers with garlic ( lots of garlic) and oil and vinager are one of the most delishes things Portugal has given the world and are simply addictive. Wish I could send all of you a little bit of this... Maybe one day we do a forum gathering!! Who knows... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
