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

[TheSoloChef]

For lunch today I had a traditional British crisp sandwich. The only stipulation on a UK crisp sandwich (for most of us anyway) the crisps must Walkers..
They are great as the only filling but I prefer them with corned beef and in todays sandwich I had sliced corned beef with Heinz tomato sauce to go with the Cheese and Onion Walkers crisps - delicious!

Burger with gem lettuce, burger relish (loved that), spring onions, American burger cheese, caramelised onion chutney and a toasted bun. It was AMAZING
Sorry no pic because with one thing and another I hadn’t eaten all day and wolfed it down, I think being famished took it up to the manner from heaven level

Have you ever done fried onion straws? You know, the little breaded fried onion strips? It's also quite nice.

I haven’t. Had a look and google is giving me quite a few different pics.
Got a pic you’d consider a classic onion straw?

Well they don't have to be straight and stick like, but I know I have seen them on menus here as "straws".

Big weekend of cooking. Saturday. Burgers in the pellet grill. Sunday I made crawfish bread. Tonight NY strip steaks. AU poive. Either beans or corn for a veggie.

 

[JAS_OH1]

We split an omelet for brunch. I have some cube steaks (pounded out beef steaks) marinating in some seasoned buttermilk that I will bread and pan fry later, served with mashed potatoes (and gravy) and possibly lima beans for a side. Comfort food at it's best!

JAS_OH1 ya know, I went looking for Cube Steak back when that conversation was a buzz and the price was stupid crazy!
LOVE Lima Beans too!!!

I found a fat-ier Boston Butt at Walmart for the same price as our local Krogers aka Fry's here --- to me, I think that makes for a much better Char Siu. I can't find Pork Belly here in Cowboyville Arizona, that's really the best cut for Char Siu.

I think I'd like the Boston Butt more, I don't love pork belly. Too fatty IMO.
