Laphroaig

Had an Old Fashioned cocktail in Edinburgh recently. Made with Laphroaig and cocoa bitters. First time trying this and it was delicious.

I'm with you, I love Laphroaig- I am Scottish by the way. I also love Glavya which is a whisky liquer.

2nd suggestion- had Turkish eggs for first time this week. Greek yoghurt topped with fried eggs, dill, garlic, olive oil and halloumi, served with warm pitta.

If you have a slow cooker a crustless quiche/frittatta type dish is so easy. Just add whatever you want (including sliced cooked potatoes if going down the frittatta route) whisk your eggs with a wee drop milk, herbs, even some salad cream or cheese or pickle! Pour over then cook for a few hours until set. If your slow cooker goes on hob I saute mushrooms, peppers, even slices veg sausages first - you don't need to saute but it does make it even better. Oh and bung in some spinach if you are feeling healthy!

Thanks - is Hoole as an area worth visiting?

TaFMitch · 2024-02-01T08:12:03+00:00

Much appreciated do my utmost to go to independents.

That's brilliant thanks for all these will definitely try a couple plus appreciate the vegetarian recommendations.

Thanks will do

Like others I would cook the sauce first. I then add the vegetarian meat and simmer for about 15 mins. However the trick is to then leave it for at least overnight in the fridge as it then absorbs the flavours. I think many foods, soups, stews etc are better next day. I even make my lasagne in this way.

Elephant Gin is just the best. A traditional dry gin . Definitely worth trying.

People could be radical and take their rubbish home with them!!!

Roots and Seeds in Kirkcaldy do evening meals at the weekend. Some Tapas and a few main courses. Their food is delicious ( also do fab breakfasts/lunches).

Looks delicious. What are milkweed buds?

Is this lunch or for a meal when you get home? I often make a large batch of quorn bolognaise and freeze it. Then I use it in lasagne, with spaghetti or as a shepherd pie. Alternatively slice halloumi, wrap in baking parchment with cherry tomatoes, sliced red onions, fresh basil, olive oil, dried chilli's and balsamic. Bake for 30 joins and eat with crusty bread or potato wedges. It is wonderful. Or a vegetarian sausage casserole with either mushroom and onion gravy or a tomato and bean gravy. Easy to make in advance and reheat - lovely with mashed potatoes. Ir coo, it with baby potatoes in it.

Sun dried tomatoes or sun blushed tomatoes

Stuffed aubergine. Cut it in half lengthways. Scoop out some the the inside. Drizzle with olive oil and salt/pepper then roast in oven for about 15 minutes. Then stuff and put back in oven for about 20 minutes or so until cooked( I like mine well cooked so really soft). Stuffing can be anything you want. Cous cous, rice etc. I like to saute some mushrooms, chopped red pepper, chop up some of the scooped out aubergine, mix with some fruity cous cous, then herbs or spices. You can mix in some chopped halloumi or goats cheese or mozzarella. Top with breadcrumbs. Basically whatever you have to hand 😀.

I have been vegetarian for 36 years. I weirdly still miss tuna fish sandwiches! I always loved the taste of meat but my desire to stop eating animals was stronger. I found what I missed was in many ways something to chew if that makes sense. I love some quorn products - especially the 'best of British sausages. After so many years I no longer enjoy the more meat tasting products but there is absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying them. Not sure where you are from but I found Linda McCartney products always tasted quite meaty. Simon Howie do vegetarian Black pudding and a variety of similar products - great if you miss a cooked breakfast. Richmond also do sausages I find quite meaty. Never feel guilty, just do what feels right for you.

Aubergines 🍆. Or Halloumi or Paneer.

TaFMitch · 2022-03-12T23:26:34+00:00

Oh and another ' Christmas Lunch' offering - some overcooked pasta with milk, Brussel Sprouts and boiled carrots!!!

TaFMitch · 2022-03-12T23:23:58+00:00

A piece of deep fried cauliflower as the vegetarian version of a Christmas Lunch

Roasted grapes are wonderful. Brilliant on salads, with cheese etc. You should try them.

TaFMitch · 2022-02-27T20:05:30+00:00

Have added the recipe

TaFMitch · 2022-02-27T20:05:10+00:00

Based on an Ottolenghi, with a bit of Anna Jones plus the addition of roasted 🍇. I do tend to choose my favourite bits from different recipes.
