That looks excellent! It's like a hybrid between coq au vin and chicken fricassee.

Last night's evening meal.
Brown jasmine diced andspicy Avocado & coconut soup with some bush tucker dukhar.

Smash burgers with caramelized onions and cheese. Served with homemade pasta salad. Seriously, this is my permant go-to recipe for this pasta salad. It's so good.

My kid turned me onto smash burgers in the last few years. Those look great, but just one of those smash burgers, and maybe a bite or two of pasta would fill me up, lol. My kid, on the other hand, could devour everything you posted before I even took a bite!

Don't Bibi and Sherlock at least get to split a sausage???

Not at the price of these sausages...

They did get a beef bone each though. I figure they prefer that anyway

Looks great - how do you make the soup (always on the lookout for interesting avocado avenues) and what is the bush tucker you had?

Those look good (no, they look fantastic ) - white bratwurst?

It says weisswurst on the package, so yeah.
It's a German butcher.
And about the only place that sells decent cold meats

The bush tucker dukkar is a Aussie thing with native fruits, seeds and nuts.

Have to agree with Gone Hiking, one of those would fill me up.

Last night we went to our friends house for a cheese evening, there were only 4 of us so there was quite a bit left over but my word, what a spread.
