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

I have strong opinion re: heinz baked beans in a 'full English'. Does not belong. See also: hash browns.
Eta: both have their place. Just not as part of a full English.

I'll have both on a full English - plus black pudding. I don't have to - but I like it all.

I have to try that. I usually just cut the Brussels in half, toss with salt, pepper and EVOO the cook in a hot skillet to get a little char. Your version sounds very tasty and will make a nice change.

I often blanch Brussels and then cook them in the oven for a few minutes on top other roast veggies.

It is very rare we have the 'full English' at breakfast, we prefer to eat it for an evening meal because we have more time to cook it.

I only have a full English for breakfast when I'm on holiday, otherwise it's dinner. Most cafes now call it "all day breakfast" for a good reason

I was just about to go into the kitchen to cook myself Speckknödel (bacon dumplings) for dinner when there was a knock at the door. An unexpected visitor. I couldn't kick him out - he's just lost his Mum and his Gran, and today he learnt that his Dad hasn't got long - so it was an onion and tomato omelette with chips for dinner at 10.30.

Those are duck eggs, right?

Yes and quite small ones.

Onion and tomato omelette with chips sounds great to me!

Yeah, but the mutt had chicken and turkey terrine, and the moggies had game

RE: baked beans. I really do not care fro them even with BBQ. I prefer black beans or pinto beans.

Thank you, Elizabeth. The feeling is reciprocated!

Baked beans are a pretty staple item in the UK, but I think what we call baked beans is somewhat different to what they are in the US. When I cooked my black bean curry a couple of days ago, it was the first time I had ever tried them, and it was the same with the black eyed beans I had a couple of weeks back.

Thai Ratatouille, @Yorky - style. Follow the link to find out what I changed (hint: it was everything!), as well as why I decided to photograph it in the style of @Yorky (actually, I don't think I ever explained why: I just thought it would be fun).

Strawberry Gelato Almond Cookie Sandwich. Note that the name has two links (one each for the gelato and the cookie). It's not quite as large as it looks, but I zoomed in because the only cookies I brought with me broke.
