Cold roast beef sammy with chow chow. Very yummy.

I threw the rest of the pork stuffing into a few slices of bread today. I'll cook some more for Christmas.

Sushi and seared tuna with avocado and homemade ponzu, with a little bit of red pepper flakes and finely chopped jalapeno thrown on.

Sushi is:

Maine lobster with Kewpie mayo and a tiny bit of wasabi.

Shrimp with asparagus, shredded carrot, cucumber, avo, green onions and wasabi.

Spicy tuna with kimchi base, cucumber and green onions.

Vege rolls with above veges, wasabi and wilted chopped spinach with just a touch of sesame oil.

And we have 1 each leftover of the shrimp, lobster and vege rolls for lunch or brunch tomorrow.

Kewpie mayo

Is that a brand of mayo?

It's also known as Japanese mayo, thicker, creamier, tangier than regular mayo, but yes it's a brand, has a little kewpie doll on it. Had to order it from Amazon as neither of the Asian markets we go to sell it.

The Japanese Mayo we buy here is unlabelled. It's yummy with panko fried chicken.

Looks beautiful mg, but I don't like mackerel, olives or capers,lol. I eat pretty much everything but those three things. It's funny how you put them in a dish.lol. A good mate of mine Buys olives by the gallon. I just can't do them.

Ah well - it was a dish to use up a few bits and pieces really!

I can't eat mackerel either but I'm doing stuff for the Cookingbites Recipe Challenge: Mackerel

Re olives - they do vary a lot in taste depending on how they are cured. There are some olives I'm not so keen about. I prefer black to green in general. Salted rather than brined. Capers are lovely though - in moderation. They provide a piquant spike to dishes. Less is more with both olives and capers.

There is something very comforting about cod in parsley sauce.

Now, these haven't been eaten yet, but never mind. It's rare that biscuits make their way into this abode, but a sortie to the Hook Norton website to buy some beer for the period ahead promised free delivery for spending sixty quid. We were just short, so these biscuits did the trick. I'm sure they will be very nice, plus it's a nice little carton to store something.
