What did you eat/cook today (February 2017)?

I have a little curiosity: when you say pancetta, do you mean bacon? Is the same? Because pancetta is in italian language.

We have pancetta here too, Italian cured pork. It is similar to british bacon

Yes it is. It appeared to be slightly more tender than usual but that could just be my imagination.

I made this salad - not for me as I'm not a fan of avocado!

I'm not a fan of avocado either. I have one in the fridge left over from my veg box, and I can't even give it to the dog . I might have to pluck up courage.....

I had deconstructed mushroom omelette and chips for my dinner last night - OK, I confess - egg, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes and chips with a little garlic

Egg and prawn salad for presentation.

But I had a surplus of sauce so it ended up like this....

The sauce was the removed egg yolk from the hard boiled egg mixed with a little tomato puree, mayonnaise, Tabasco sauce and ground black pepper. Some cucumber would have been nice but I only had pickled.

I can eat them - its just not a favourite thing and I don't like too much. I find if they are cut with sharp bitter tastes (lime, grapefruit) and/or hot chillies they are better!
