What is for brunch or lunch ?

Unfortunately, with no photos, we can't find your recipes for all these delicious and unusual meals FrenchgalinSpain

Lunch today was Asian.

Chinese Won Ton Soup - first time I ever prepared it and served with Spring Rolls and Prawns Tempura.

Nice change of pace and fun to do something a bit different.

Thanks for replying. Your photos are very enticing - I hoped you were writing a book of delicious recipes!
Enjoy your evening!

Thank you and have a nice afternoon.

For a healthier twist Eggs Florentine is a great choice while French toast adds a timeless sweetness

What?
This is getting silly

Lovely fresh olive bread with cheeses and olives. Plus watermelon and a kiwi fruit.

21 / 01 / 2024 ..

Today, we are going to have Lasagne Bolognese as our main course ..

Our starters are "amuses boüches" or appetisers that include:

White bean (northern or navy beans) hummus with sun dried tomato and basil served on Baguette Slices.

Roquefort drizzled with lavendar honey ..

A tiny tri color salad with cherry tomatoes & pomegrante seeds and home made vinaigrette ..

A lovely red wine from Bodega Muga - Haro, La Rioja called Prado Enea.

Dessert will be served at 18.00, and this is called " A Merienda" - when the pastry and a tea or café or hot chocolate is served. We will have a NO BAKE Cheesecake with a "simple ginger (no sugar - dietetic ) added to the biscuits bought & lemon biscuit crust" ..

I don't use prawns - DH is allergic - but do add fried mushrooms, quartered cherry tomatoes and a 'cube' or two of frozen spinach. Fancy the idea of wine in the sauce.

I drank the wine while I was cooking

Back to tried and tested this evening. Sausage and mash with Oxo gravy .

Lunch ..

Since it had been quite awhile (just before the Christmas holidays) that we went to Cava Baja, the tapas bars of antiguity in La Latina, we decided it to be a worthwhile busride ..

We stopped at Casa Lucas, our favourite for "oxtail" (rabo de toro) with all its traditional glory. Then we headed over to El Tempranillo just a few metres away for assorted canapés.

In route back up to the Puerta del Sol and FNAC, the renowned French book shop, music and electronics Department Store, we window shopped and stopped at Zara, one of our favourite clothing shops.

The sales here started on the 8th of January and shall run through the 23rd of January.

Then, for hot chocolate & Churros at San Gines, one of the oldest venues in the Capital dating back to 1880 or so.

Nice weekend wishes.

Cod, salmon and smoked haddock 🙂

Charlie Bigham popped round and made us a curry.

That's where he was!!
I had to make my own fish pie this evening.

Fish pie for us tomorrow evening! Haven’t made one for ages but I’ve got some frozen smoked haddock that needs using up. White fish and some small prawns added, parsley and a splash of white wine in the sauce, maybe a little cheese, lots of cheese-topped mash on top. 😋

The one I made was very similar but without prawns which can bring me out in itchy lumps.

🤔

So - what was for lunch today?

To Whom it may concern,

The postal codes of The Madrid Capital and the Madrid Autonomous Region all begin with:

28001, 28002, 20003 etcetra ..

I have no connection to postal code 80049 .. IT IS NOT IN MADRID ..

So, this is the last time I shall comment on this.

The Administrator can remove the post if she / he wishes.

However, I have no connection to that address or that postal code.

I do something like that but halve the potatoes and scoop out the halves before adding the egg mixed with fried bacon and onion and topped with grated cheese.

Thanks for reminding me - haven't done it for ages.

I have just seen a recipe for "Potato omelette" or possibly "Omelette potatoes" as it was in French.
Drizzle potatoeswith olive oil, s+p allowing 1 or 2 per head depending on size and appetite and bake. Then slice "lids" off and scoop out the flesh . Discard lids, for 6 medium potatoes mix with 4 eggs, (beaten), finely chopped red onion , parsley or chives., grated cheese (mozzarella or cheddar) and chopped ham. Refill the shells.
Return to the oven at 170C for approx 10 minutes
Sounds like a nice brunch.
Anybody tried these?

We often have bacon and egg for breakfast on Saturday but DH is helping DS1 take garden rubbish to the dump and went out early.

Think we'd better have a full English when he gets back.

😁 Thank you.

It was very good, though I say it myself. Gave Charlie a run for his money!
It looked big enough for six portions but somehow four people managed to finish it all with the help of an unexpected very hungry guest.

Orders can be taken! 🐟 🥧

It’ll be brunch, since I never want anything first thing. For a change, a half pack of spinach and ricotta tortellini (we had 1.5 packs the other night) with the leftover tomato sauce.

This what I got when I googled.
Maybe some of the OP’s post was a bit lost in translation.
Perhaps he/she might return to clarify?

This is a daily occurence.

I have stated twice, that I had no idea what this is about.

I have never seen this before nor do I ever purchase online.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
