What did you cook or eat today (June 2025)?

[Windigo]

German potato salad, beef sausage, eggs with paprika & olives as a summer meal.

Skinless sausages (they're great, a hit, same flavour and texture as a Brit sausage ) with some truffle scrambled egg.
Well kinda truffle. It's a dollop of 'Salsa de trufa' by Mercadona. It's like the crack cocaine of the mushroom world. Dare I say better than plain truffles, yep I think it is.
It's mushrooms blended with black olive and truffle so the level of earthiness is off the scale.

I believe it's the Spanish version of the Italians tartufata. They describe it as a sauce but it's not, it's a paste. A gorgeous paste, reminds me more of anchovy paste due to the strength.

Yum yum.

Costs about €3 and is excellent value for money.
If you haven't tried it and fancy a go pay attention to the percentage of truffle in it, that can vary wildly.

Rummaged around in the back of the fridge and found a pot of vegetable curry I'd made for last week's lunch. Made some basmati rice with turmeric ( I probably overdid the turmeric!) and microwaved a couple of papadums. Yum!

White cabbage - potato mash with a grilled sausage
To make the mash a bit more exciting, I added some chili's and lots of garlic.
Got left over for frying tomorrow (well, today), but will spice it up a lot more

Looks delicious! May I ask what's in the potato salad that makes it German - I assume it's potatoes and mayonnaise but what other ingredients are in there please?

Last night we had homemade pizza. Toppjngs were diced chicken breast, red bell pepper, shallot, mushrooms, spinach, fontina, goat cheese, and mozzarella with oregano and basil. I should have taken a photo because it was really pretty. We were very hungry and my phone was in the other room, though...

I've always learned that to be German it needs pickles, mustard, onion and green herbs. Mine has mayo, gherkins, dill vinegar, dill , sour cream, spring onions, parsley and mustard for a dressing.

Same meal as yesterday, and for dessert a sweet bread with raisins. A treat after my morning full of swimming
