Read that as a Mars Bar curried sweet potato soup and was ever so intrigued

So did I!

Mrs Fox

Maple + mustard chicken wings, and slaw.

Merkin

Both look absolutely scrumptious Mrs. Fox. Could I have the recipe for both please?

For the wings I used this recipe, which also works great for thighs.
For the slaw I just thinly sliced red cabbage, carrot, green apple, celery, spring onion. Dressing consists of a tbsp of mayo, a tsp of wholegrain mustard, squeeze of lemon, a bit of cider vinegar, bit of salt & sugar. Mix all and mix into veg.

Merkin

Thanks so much, both pictures had me salivating!

You're welcome. Any sign of a baby yet?

Mrs Fox

Spicy Tom Kha soup hit the right spot.

Mrs Fox

Maple mustard chicken, radish, cucumber, baby plum tomatoes, gem lettuce with mustard dressing.

Gloomtastic!

Mushrooms on toast sprinkled with parsley and chilli flakes.

Mrs Fox

Chickpea feta and other stuff salad, simply dressed with a squeeze of lemon.

Gloomtastic!

Nothing yet! But we've Coca Cola Chicken Wings for dinner so maybe it's for the best....

Home made chicken soup with brown soda bread. On the patio because it was so warm and sunny

Tayto sammidge. It was delish!!!

Pang

Crab cake bap with coleslaw and rocket, so yum!

MissFlitworth

Smoked salmon, scrambled eggs with a rake of black pepper, ripe, butter avocado & toasted home made brown bread. Oh I nearly died after.

the beer revolu

Fried potatoes, a little bit of leftover home cooked ham and wild garlic leaves.

MissFlitworth

Leftover jambalaya. Looks a little anaemic but packed full of flavour. I do believe I shall be having more leftover jambalaya for lunch tomorrow as my co-dinner-eater was very subtly not pushed (Walked into kitchen to shout of "Eh - everything in this pot is burnt already" while they agitated my poor, poor blackened peppers and onions and rice violently with a serving spoon. As though trying to whip them into stiff peaks)

kylith

Roast beef, coleslaw and pickle on a brown bap and a jambon. I love jambons.

Oblomov

My apologies for contravention of the threads ethos.

I can assure this will not happen again.

Oblomov, when posting pictures of restaurant meals, it would be very helpful to describe what exactly each dish is, and give the name of the restaurant and the location. Pretty pictures are great, but not very useful to this thread if they don't offer some kind of inspiration to the other posters. This isn't a food porn thread

Oblomov

Sww my above comments.
.

Faith

And the name and location of the restaurant?

Oblomov

It would appear we have different points of view, again, if this has caused any friction. I apologise.

I would have preferred a PM if there was any problems with the post. I like to think I learn from my mistakes.

Faith

I didn't see that you'd edited your post, and regardless, there's no need to be so rude when I'm simply asking you for information.

This thread is designed to inspire others and to share lunch ideas. Pictures of mysterious unidentifiable food from a restaurant that most of us could never afford is not in line with the point of the thread. Nonetheless, I was happy to leave the pictures there as perhaps they could inspire the more adventurous cooks amongst us - but they serve no purpose unless we at least know what the picture is of.

Anyway, let's let the thread back on topic now.

sweet and sour chicken with fried rice

kylith

Savoury mince and the last of my homemade bread.

Mrs Fox

Smoked salmon, courgette noodles, plumtomatoes, squeeze of lemon.

kylith

A stew of leftover ham hock, red lentils, green lentils, and pearl barley. Looks like dishwater, tastes delish. I think I'll beef up the rest of it with some more carrots and peas when I get home.

MissFlitworth

A pastrami & swiss cheese sandwich from Café Sol. Man, their sandwiches are unnervingly good for premade box jobs. Good bread, no sogginess, fillings that actually taste like they're supposed to and not a waxy pastiche of cheese & pastrami. Full on sad when it was over.

Mars Bar

I've never had butternut squash before so I picked one up today in the supermarket and made a BNS and sweet potato soup with some carrot, onion, garlic and chilli powder. It's so yummy! It's just as well I liked it or I'd be well peed off after the effort of cutting the BNS.
