Gwlad Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 One and a half inch thick pork cutlets ready to go on bbq. Jacket potatoes, courgettes and mixed salad. Nice glass of Californian Zinfandel - Carnivor from Sainsbury's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwlad Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 It was good, sitting out on a warm evening, don't get enough of them. Didn't have any corn, red onions or peppers but we like courgettes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every morning we do the school run and, after dropping my daughter off at school, we call in at the local Roti Canai hawker stall and spend the equivalent of 20p on my Roti Canai breakfast. Whoever said that the best things in life are free wasn't far wrong! https://www.elmundoeats.com/en/homemade-roti-canai/ Do you have your roti with curry in the morning, or sweet sauce say like honey. I remember one of the Islands I went to in the Maldives the staff use to have fish curry left over from the previous day for breakfast.

So this is your staple for breakfast, I suppose when you live full time in a country that isn’t where you were born or raised you start to become immersed into their way of living, and if it’s curry for breakfast then it’s curry for breakfast. I eat whilst at home the same breakfast every day, which is 80g of porridge with frozen blueberries stirred in, followed by 2 soft boiled eggs, it gives me my fast sugars good fats and protein to start the day off in a good way nutritionally, and the bonus is I really enjoy it so haven’t become bored of the same thing.

Gwlad Posted August 23, 2022 Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 There were Chinese, Japanese, Thai and Indian dishes. Pan Asian would cover it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunlopp9987 Posted August 23, 2022 Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 It has just been phased out over here in the states. Even hearing someone refer to Asia as "the orient" takes me right back to the days when women and people of color were treated as second class citizens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even hearing someone refer to Asia as "the orient" takes me right back to the days when women and people of color were treated as second class citizens There is a Chinese restaurant in Swindon called the Chinese pagoda when it first opened it was claimed to be the biggest in Europe back in the mid 80’s. It was owned by a consortium of Chinese businessmen and all the chefs were hired from Hong Kong and most of the waiters, it is still open today and on Sundays they advertise an all you can eat Oriental Buffet, and that’s born and bred Chinese using that terminology and not us white Europeans, here if something is described as Oriental or from the Orient it is just a geographical reference to countries in the Far East, and has no hidden racially motivated connotations.

Purely 'market research' of course! For the last few days he and his family have been staying with us and touring the local eateries in Penang and bringing various offerings home with them to canvass our opinions on. Yesterday's offerings included a superb chicken biryani whilst they surpassed themselves today - bringing home a lamb biryani, spicy fish head curry (wife's favourite), another chicken biryani and more satay than you can shake a stick at. And this is just for myself and my wife. Totally trashed the diet but who cares. Love a good curry, the hottest curry I ever had was a fish curry on my first trip to the Maldives, they did 2 versions a mild and hot, I had a couple of servings of the mild which was in eyes fairly hot, thinking I was mastering the heat went for the hot big mistake couldn’t do it a couple of mouth fulls and I was hiccuping uncontrollably for ages, our waiter was a great lad and he had good laugh, he told me they have it spicer for breakfast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since medical issues not so much, I know when I'm given a good one but can't fully appreciate it sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s called an addiction Mike the kind I could easily fall into, shame how much your illness as affected that part of your life good food is a pleasure to consume as you know even more so if you can pair it with a good wine or beer.
