Moules mariniere with crusty fresh French bread.

Pasta vongole- once again I've not decided on the pasta to have. Traditionally it's spaghetti but that combination is not all that easy to eat without getting into a mess and leaving all the cockles behind.

Cauliflower cheese with crispy bacon bits. The bacon is pancetta- just about the only bacon that will go crisp these days and not produce loads of white ectoplasm.

Saw a can of Napolina cooked barley in Tesco the other day. I was intrigued and bought one. There was a recipe on said can for a vegetarian stew which looked interesting so, that's what's on the menu today. It comprises chopped tomatoes, leeks, onions, garlic, chilli, barley, butter beans, parsley and S&P. If it's any good, I'll post details. Edit: It was quite nice but not nice enough to post further details of its construction. If you're interested enough, have a look at a tin of Napolina Barley in Tesco (I'm pretty sure it is available from other shops as well). There is enough for today as well. I thought it a bit lacking in meat do I'm introducing some sliced Polish sausage into it today and having it with a bread roll.

Meatballs & pasta today.

Pizza today. Homemade with my own tomato sauce cooked a bit more than usual to thicken it then topped with red and yellow peppers, mozzarella, finely sliced onion, anchovies, Polish sausage and Pecorino shavings.

AmyFoxss, I get a strong impression that your presence here is not what this forum requires. Resurrecting a thread from over ten years ago and another one a year old just offering just a statement strikes me that your intentions are not entirely wanted. Are you actually representing bytologics by any chance?

Tesco Finest fish fingers (like last week - they are very good), chips & mushy peas

Roast beef with stir-fry chilli Brussels Sprouts (better than boiling them) and onion gravy.

Beef Madras with Naan bread and appropriate pickles.

Some of yesterday's leftover gammon cut into cubes with a cheese & tomato sauce and pasta (type to be decided).

Boiled gammon, stringless beans, leeks, parsley sauce and mashed potatoes.

Nice and simple today: Egg, bacon, chips & beans with bread & butter.

I think that may be hoisin sauce https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoisin_sauce By complete coincidence, it's stir-fry chicken thighs with hoisin sauce and rice noodles for me today.

I know someone allergic to mussels as well as cockles, oysters and razor shell fish but, like you, OK with prawns, lobsters, crayfish and winkles/whelks and such. I am OK with all of them but I don't like winkles or whelks (too chewy).
