So, what's for lunch?

[Gemsy-chan]

Looks really good, but what the heck is it? I can't make it out, looks like there may be fried chicken or fish underneath all those sauces. Even a common dish over there in the UK can be a complete mystery to me over here...

It’s chicken katsu don.

Dinner tonight at the Hotel before heading to the Royal Albert Hall.

I'm sitting at home in front of my computer, eating some leftover Garlic Butter wings and some french fries from Beanies Bar. I met my friend there Saturdy night, and specifically ordered enough wings and fries so I had leftovers to take home. I ate a few yesterday for lunch and finished them up today. Since I'm recovering from pancreas surgery, I can't eat very much in one sitting.

Are wings a thing in the UK at all? They are very popular here, especially as bar food. Beanies has a huge selection of wings to choose from, both dry and wet toppings. I usually get either Extra Hot or Suicide wings, as I love super-hot peppers, but after my surgery, I have to forgo that for a while yet.

I don't have any photos, forgot to take any again, doh! So here's a few stock photos from the bar's FB page:

I made a simple dish tonight (I hate cooking!)-steamed cauliflower mixed with a can of Campbell's Split Pea & Ham soup with some seasonings. It's much better than it sounds.

Oh! I love asparagus, it's one of my favorite veggies, except I hate that it gives you skunk pee, lol... I also love spinach and collard greens!

I made soup for dinner - swede, orange pepper and green onion pureed in the blender then boiled and simmered with double cream, salt, mixed herbs, pepper and smoked paprika (it's not spicy just adds flavour) I'm thinking of trying my hand at making bread since i have all the ingredients

Sounds actually alright, a lot of these things are nice if you add some seasonings or extra veg and/or meat

I made some homemade oyster stew on the stovetop for lunch today, with a dozen fresh oysters, milk, butter, salt, pepper, and a generous amount of "oyster crackers" swimming around in the pond...

I also met my friend at Beanies bar last night again, and I actually remembered to take a photo this time around! I ordered a dozen X-tra Hot wings, a large order of fries, and a couple pints of Guinness. We both even had a shot of Patrón to cleanse our palates, lol.

I had seeded bread, toasted, slathered with Sun-Pat crunchy peanut butter. My girlfriend usually has sliced banana on hers, but we were out of bananas this morning, a most dire situation that's now been remedied.

Cereal was maple-and-pecan flakes from Marks & Sparks. They've got bonus nuggets in them that are yoghurt-coated cornflakes. The Digestive biscuits finished off our three courses, all washed down with Tetley tea. Two sugars for me, one for her, with a dash of milk for us both.

A most triumphant breakfast.

And you, young miss? How was your chicken tower burger and cheesy chips, and would you recommend them to our viewers/listeners/readers?

It was extremely delicious Neil, and I would recommend it to both sober and drunk people who want a hearty meal at 2am in the morning The cheesy chips had a good amount of cheese on them, and the chicken tower burger came with hash brown and a slice of 'Murican plastic cheese, as is customary

Plastic cheese?!! Hey now, we have real pasteurized processed American Cheese over here in Dairy Farm Country USA, lol - but yeah, at the grocery store we can still buy those big commercial-brands of plastic stuff the rest of the US have to eat!

Mmm! For lunch today I had some steamed shrimp with Old Bay seasoning - a spicy mixture local to the Chesapeake Bay area used mainly for steamed crabs, but just as good on shrimp, too!
