Churros with a variety of sauces. We also got savory churros, with spicy cheese and tzatziki sauce.

Churros, what a goodness

 

[The Late Night Gourmet]

Poutine with guacamole and tzatziki sauce, and a gargantuan burger. We have a group of four, and we’re sharing, otherwise my stomach would explode!

How many actual chilli peppers?

7.

It was much hotter last night. But not that not that I couldn't suck 2 of the birds eye chilli clean of chilli .

 

[The Late Night Gourmet]

Waffles with bananas, strawberries, and chocolate. After all the other things we had, I am in severe pain, and I barely had any of the waffle.

The middle eastern spread in the first pic looks fantastic. It all looks good to me except the poutine - I can hear my Canuck mates screaming when I look at it. Sorry about your pain.

I went to a Sydney food event on Friday night & was sharing each dish with a friend. I think we stopped right on the knife point.

Shrimp and cheesy grits.

Shrimp and cheesy grits.

I wish I understood 'grits'. They aren't something we have in the UK. The concept (and name!) never really sounds very appetising to me. As always, I'm willing to be convinced. New thread perhaps - here: Grits?

I first came across "grits" watching the Beverley Hillbillies in the 60s. There was no internet (obviously) at that time so I didn't discover what they were. Wrongly I assumed that it was some form of boiled up offal.

That would be chitterlings!Grits are made from corn or hominy (treated corn). Polenta is probably a close comparison.

 

[The Late Night Gourmet]

Athens: Greek salad before and after (5 minutes later). The bottom has a baby goat with a lot of rosemary...it was absurdly tender. I feel a little bit guilty about eating a baby goat. Sorry, baby goat! I will honor your memory by eating all of you.

I am in absolute envy of you! Such a gourmet trip. Plus, you chose a week with great weather.

It was quite a week of extremes. It was snowing in Detroit. We transferred through Keflavik, Iceland, and had to step out on the tarmac amid blowing snow. This was a shock, since we expected to be inside. When we landed in Frankfurt, it was mild (similar temps to England) and quite pleasant. And, as you say, Greece is warm. I haven’t needed my jacket since the first day in Frankfurt.

Productive kitchen day

Lots of bolognese for the freezer - each container holder enough to dress half a 500gm bag of pasta which should serve 2-3 people.
Plus 12 jars of mustard pickles in answer to the zucchini glut.


Dinner was (gold plated) forequarter lambchops cooked onthe fas BBQ
Teamed with a couscous dish packed with veg, herbs, dried fruit & toasted nuts.
