Talking of lemon and fish, I had a lovely bit of trout laced with coriander and lemon last night - from the fishmonger in Musselburgh (the one at the harbour)

Sounds yummy.
Excellent fishmonger.

I would like to add that my tuna was not laced with Lemsip, unlike your laced trout.

Think I'll have lemon chicken and Lemsip for dinner tonight.

MoM I can recommend Vodka and Lemsip... fond memories of a holiday many moons ago when we had the duty free but no mixer...go on...it's Friday and it's mid term

Worcester sauce crisps are the best

(especially Wheat Crunchie ones

)

Fish 'n Chips at the Sheep's Heid followed by a little refreshment.

My husband took me out for lunch

. Was so shocked I can barely remember what I ate...........

Dadaist · Post by **Dadaist** » 18 Feb 2006, 15:39

I had a Ford's sausage roll.

Neo Dadaist had some spag bol followed by a Winnie The Pooh yoghurt :

Tigger seems to have got himself confused with one of the bears from Goldilocks and is saying "who's been eating my yoghurt ?"

Teddybaby works in Fords on a Saturday so we sometimes have lunch when she comes home with a present for us

That's Bozzy the bear, by the way.

After last night's alcohol-based commiserations after the rugby at Murrayfield......we had a late brunch of lorne sausage (from Findlays, mmmmmmm

) and tattie scone rolls (both from Greggs)

They certainly did the trick.

Bozzy is nice, but shame about his outfit

Did you know that Hibs are going up to my home town to play Huntly FC later in the year ? Prepare to be tanked

I'm not a Hibby. It was a present from my dad for Neo-Dadaist. My dad is most definitely a Hibby.

Scotland's finest came up with the goods for me this morning.

After a failed attempt at the sausage, cheese and beans pie, Greggs have hit paydirt with the sausage and beans pastie (76p, two for Â£1.40)

Beautiful texture, perfect for a late breakfast or early lunch, bean consistency near perfect (a bit mushy, especially nice when married with both textures of inner and outer pasty pastry), enough processed sausage chunks to satisfy yet not overwhelm.

I was lucky with my timing - the temperature was perfect, but this is a product of such class that it would be delicious lukewarm too - and if one is especially hungry or doesn't mind cold beans - at any temperature sans piping-hot (problematic due to the heat-retention of the sauce).

Easily 10/10 - have one today, or two while the offer lasts.

Anyone on long-term indigestion medication should take heed if they have forgotten their tablet on the same morning as greedily wolfing down one of Greggs' fine offerings.

They may feel ill effects approximately one hour later, which could lead to a grudgingly expensive purchase of Gaviscon Advance. (Â£3 odd for a wee bottle)

Its no co-incidence that there's a chemist shop near every bakery : )

Just had a select your own salad box from my local sandwich shop "Food Glorious Food", containing Waldorf salad, mixed bean salad and some pesto pasta salad...very nice it was too

I usually automatically choose the lentil soup when i go there, but some traditions just have to go in this heat

Williamson's finest hot-smoked salmon, which reminds me of my top tip.

Bowl of my mother's scotch broth, with freshly baked chunks of home-made bread, dripping with about a half pound of slightly-salted butter ... bring on the heart attack, baby!!!

Sandra · Post by **Sandra** » 27 Jul 2006, 14:36

Mozzarella, Tomato, Basil and Pesto Baguette from Boots, sitting outside

shame I had to come back to the office though

Yesterday, I took the day off from work and we went for lunch at Amicus Apple in Frederick Street (used to be Victoria & Albert) very cool bar (both in looks and air conditioning!) we sat outside and pretended we were on holiday

Food nice too - pitta with dips (houmous, tapenade, romesco, cheese and spinach), salmon platter - rillettes, hot smoked, smoked salmon - chunky brown bread and rocket salad with slivers of lemon - delish. Also chunky chips and chili relish - washed down with a pint/wine or two. Recommend it.

Tesco Prawn salad and 2 custard tarts.

Prawn salad's nice - prawn cocktail on top with lettuce, pasta and carrot underneath. They do a nice one with cheese as well.

Ford's prawn roll and a fudge donut (in a different league from Greggs 'hunt the filling' version). Delicious.

Lunch today at work was a 70's throwback to celebrate the building being 30 years old. Designed by Sir Basil Spence (Scottish Widows glass one opposite the Commie), it's one of his better ones.....I've seen some of the others!

For 50p, I could have had a choice of Macaroni Cheese and Chips, Mince and Tatties, or a selection of tray-bake pies with Chips and Veg - probably picking 70's style canteen food as a way of marking the occasion was not such a good idea

, especially considering the weather.

I had a salad instead, which unfortunately was still noughties prices, not seventies.

Cleopas · Post by **Cleopas** » 28 Jul 2006, 13:19

I had Cannae Get Movin' soup. It's a very thick broth you could stand a spoon up in ... and you eat as much as you like to get to the point where the name of the soup becomes rather obvious.

My mother (aka Stalin in a Skirt) says it's a very old recipe which goes back to the ancestral homelands.

Thank the lord I go back to work on Monday and can bugger off to the shops for something really unhealthy!

Ah, the delights of Greggs.

I've just had a spicy chicken wrap, very tasty indeed.

I don't think you're taking this thread seriously. Then again, did you heat up the carrion in your new, state of the art, carrion friendly kitchen?

PS - how's the hand?

Carrion? Isn't that some fancy pants kitchen worktop?
