What is for brunch or lunch ?

Jaxjacky

Love the salmon recipes, as I don’t like salmon, I’ll use on other fish, thank you all. We’ve had cottage pie, carrots and broccoli.
Coriander/Cilantro, I think the UK are unusual as we use the name Coriander for both the fresh plant and the seeds, in many other countries, Cilantro is fresh, Coriander the dried seeds.

Jaxjacky,

"Exactly, in many other countries, Cilantro is the fresh plant or herb, Coriander the dried seeds" ..

Since I am French and live in Spain, almost 33 years, it is Cilantro for us ..

1 tbsp fresh cilantro - can sub parsley if you wish
Surely cilantro is what we call coriander in English?

To my knowledge:

Coriander is Dry Cilantro ..

The fresh herb is Cilantro and it is Mexican historically ..

I’m out

Well, our kedgeree wasn't worth the effort. Though it had coriander seeds, chopped stalks and leaves amongst lots of other ingredients.

Jaxijacky ..

I wanted to say, if you do not care for salmon, try the recipe with perch or haddock or cod ..

Comes out quite lovely too and ingredients are very flexible.

Off for a light bite at our corner tapas bar .. and a short walk with our Frenchie Bull Dog.

Have a nice evening.

I do like kedgeree but usually make it with smoked haddock, parsley etc and rather a lot of butter. DH isn't so keen so we haven't had it for quite some time.

Coriander is coriander but cilantro in America I believe.

If Mary, Delia, Jamie, Rick, Felicity et al call it coriander then that's good enough for me.

I get confused enough with zucchini and eggplants when we're in Australia.
In Australia, coriander is also the preferred word for the plant, following the European standard. In the United States and South and Central America, cilantro is the word used for the leaves, while coriander generally refers to the seeds

I can't seem to grow it in the garden.

I think that whatever you call it - cilantro, coriander- it's the work of the devil. It tastes like soap to me.

Calli, I usually make kedgeree with smoked salmon - it's delicious. And considerably easier that last night's recipe.

GF breadcrumbed chicken breast with oven chips and coleslaw tonight.

I prefer parsley 😃
DD can't bear parsley, even when it's freshly picked and chopped, she says it tastes stale.

Sausage and mash tonight. Exotic.

I might try that, kittylester

I buy a pack of smoked salmon bits (they are called something posher than that) which are usually very cheap.

My DH is in hospital at the moment having got either strep or staph in the knee where he had an implant last year. Luckily the implant doesn't have to be changed. They cut his knee open and washed the infection last Friday. Good news today that he's coming home next Monday.

Since he's been away I've been eating banana with yoghurt, an apple with some hard cheese and salad from a bag with slice terrine from the supermarket, or grated cheese or tinned tuna. I'm not hungry and can't be bothered to cook. I haven't made tea or coffee since the weekend and am just drinking water.

Yesterday I had lunch with friends whose son is a chef and he made baked eggs with truffle grated in, followed by some salads. His mum made tarte tatin. All delicious.

Callistemon I grow it, but it goes to seed very quickly.
Beef and veg casserole tonight, mash with cabbage.

Thursday - 11th July 2024 ..

We are going out for Traditional Greek Lunch today ..

Classic Tarmosalata and a Greek Salad which we truly enjoy.

Nice Thursday wishes.

🤩🤩🤩

A Coronation Chicken sandwich from M&S plus a custard tart - bought on our way home from the vet where Rosie was a brave girl while she had her claws clipped.
She’s pretty good but Gracie used to scream to the point where I had to go and sit in the car in the car park with the radio on.
If you’ve ever heard GSOD (greyhound scream or howl of death) you will know what I mean!

Dinahmo you need to keep your strength up!

I rarely lose my appetite but did recently, however, it didn't result in much weight loss ☹

I cooked a ham and mushroom white pizza from the co-op. They are £5.95 (!!) but very nice. I had a couple off slices and one of my sons and daughter eat the rest

Our Greek Lunch on Thursday the 11th of July ..

We started with an appetiser (mezedes) of Prawns with Dill scented rice in Grape Leaves with Tzatziki which were heavenly divine.

Then, I had the Taramosalata prepared with grey mullet and my dear had a Greek Salad plentiful of Feta Cheese ..

My husband enjoyed tremendously, Phyllo dough baked and filled with spinach & feta.

Of course a lovely Rosé light Cretan wine and for dessert we shared a Baklava with our Greek Coffees.

Lovely lunch.

We grow cilantro/coriander in our herb garden for proper Mexican food. Nigella's Coriander and Jalapeno Salsa is magnificent!

Many people think it tastes of soap.

Your mum didn't put soap in your mouth if you said a bad word?

Lucky you!

I bought a fresh Cromer crab this morning and some nice soft bread rolls so we had crab rolls for lunch.

No, never!
She either never heard me or she might have said Calli*stem*on with a Paddington Bear stare.

Sorry, Norah, I meant to quote your post.

Do you mean Vine Leaves?
