Other stuff. Place was busy right before lunch rush ona Friday afternoon. It's over the road from the restaurant stuff I was posting earlier in the week.

It's about a mile from my place and we go there for Saturday family lunch.

@Dannyalcatraz no American would eat any of this stuff right? Lack of cupcakes and cheese?

Depends on where they’re from. That looks a lot like a bakery you’d see in New Orleans, for instance.

It's kind of a traditional one. The newer hipster ones offer different stuff.

Going to freeze tonight.

Kadai chicken, pakoras with tamarind sauce, cheesy garlic naan.

That's only half as well we split the meal in two.

Honey lemon sponge cake mother in law made.

Birthday dinner tonight at pub.

Last day of eat week vs menu posted a few weeks ago.



Mother in-laws corn fritters with bacon and sour cream with sweet chilli sauce. Should have ordered that looks great.



Happy birthday to me (several days ago). Chicken and apricot filo. Almost like a pie was quite nice.




And Aunties omelette. A couple got the ribs and Caesar salads, kids seemed to go for the beef burgers.

Place was packed onna Saturday night. Polished off a garlic bread, couple if APAs and an IPA.

I’m not a fan (nor a hater) of apricot, but that looks good!

The fritter also looks like a winner.

Just felt like something different. Ichose a basic pub food type place. Everyone either cleared their plate or got defeated by the portion sizes. Apart from grandma and her roast but we can't really please her no matter where we go.

I'm very likely gonna try that fritter in the near future.

Pan fried pork loin chop with gravy, sautéed onion & mushrooms, oven-baked Parmesan & garlic eggplant with tomato sauce


NGL- the food all tasted good, but the eggplant was still a disappointment. I followed an old recipe, but my results were not what they should have been. In particular, the eggplant didn’t dry out as much as it was supposed to in the prep phase, which meant the eggplant didn’t crisp up and crust didn’t adhere and brown properly. Next time, I’ll try a different method to get the moisture out, and I’ll use a bit more parm & panko.

Looks good I think I'm having water for dinner.

I don't like eggplant, and would skip it, but the pork looks pretty good--what'd you do for the gravy? Definitely looks like a decent sear at any rate.
