What is for brunch or lunch ?

There are quite a few differences between Lasagne with Aubergine layers and Greek Moussaka.

1) The sauce is completely different ..
2) Moussaka normally incorporates lamb and there is not lamb or any type of meat in my dish.
3) Authentic moussaka contains dry red wine. My dish had no wine.
4) It is normal to put a pinch of nutmeg, cayenne pepper in a Moussaka. Been to a wide variety of Greek destinations over the years.
5) My dish did not contain cayenne nor nutmeg, Totally a recipe from Emilia Romagna, Italy - friends who were born and raised in Emilia Romagna.
6) The cheese toppings are also totally different.

So, call it as you wish however, it is not Moussaka ..

Have a nice Sunday,

I think I would call your 'Aubergine Lasagne' Moussaka. Haven't made that for ages.

Me too!
Used to be a staple “dinner party” dish back in the day.
I LOVE it.

Brunch today - porridge, in July! With blueberries, prunes and banana.

We are having roast pork spare rib, roast potatoes, cauliflower cheese, honey roasted carrots, gravy and apple sauce - well it's wet, windy and chilly here.

Sunday
The 7th of July 2024 ..

Today we shall be having a home made baked Aubergine Lasagne .. The dish substitutes pasta with Aubergine slices.

Always a pleasantry ..

Shall prepare a simple tri color mixed leaf lettuce salad with cherry tomatoes and a home made vinaigrette for our starter.

Lamb shank for DH pulled pork for me with a good mix of veg to share. I made Rick Stein's apple strudel for dessert it's buttery and delicious.

Wow ! We are gand fans of homemade Apple Strudel.

We always have some during the Christmas Holidays ..

I shall take a look online at Rick Stein´s recipe.

Thank you for mentioning.

I love Salade Niçoise - however, being vegan, no tuna, no eggs, no anchovies. Really? "Salad All Fresh Summer Veg with cold cubed red potatoes mixed in" That's what's for lunch tomorrow.

This, exactly!

Was going to have some carrot and tahini soup (homemade) but my guts said no so I had a Emmentale and jam sandwich instead.

The Saturday Special
Fish finger sandwich, Waitrose frozen chunky cod on toasted white bread, lettuce and a good dollop of mayo and lots of salt 😋
Followed by an Envy apple 🍏

Crispy chicken wings with mayo and chilli sauce dips. And a chilled rosé.

Sophisticated or what?

Cheese and biscuits. Yogurt.

Ooh, Summer Pudding, lovely. I haven't made one yet this year.

Savoury Bread Pudding, green salad, five bean salad. Summer pudding.

I've managed to find a bottle of white peach juice, so we're having Bellinis.
Food - far less important....🙂

Enjoy !!!

Fresh Lidl half baguettes were so delicious, with ham, cheese, tomato and lettuce.
Actually they’re delicious just with butter, but that’s not a meal.
