Re: Teatime Choices
Ouzo? You can get Ouzo? What kind of 'undercover' trade deal is occurring here?
A very good friend was going for a TEFL interview in Athens and decided to lunch beforehand, ordered her meal with some bottled water.
First up is the glass, she looks in and thinks "they haven't cleaned it properly", so she slung the content on the pavement.

Why did they bring your friend Ouzo when she ordered water?

The water came just a bit later, the Ouzo was a free aperitif, but she didn't realise.

Re: Teatime Choices
Does anyone eat kippers at supper time? I've usually had them for breakfast (Christmas most often), but have been craving kippers and morning hasn't been convenient.
Edit: Thawing out now - committed.

Re: Teatime Choices
If I could find them here, then I definitely would. I'm having to make do with smoked mackerel, which is a very poor substitute for a kipper, but fine in other dishes. The last time I had kippers was in Scotland about seven years ago, and then they were only available for breakfast in the hotel.

Re: Teatime Choices
I just checked on the Brit shop website where I found the sausages, and they have kipper fillets from Youngs, making the 260km round trip slightly more enticing - they won't ship fresh stuff.
However I have a good mate who's just moved to within 10km of the shop, I'm due to go up and visit him early next year. Patience...

Re: Teatime Choices
Good grief, now I'm trembling, that looks so good.
Never thought of pairing them with ale, probably because I've only been used to having them at breakfast time.
Not that I'm averse to a beer in the morning, but it only tends to happen once every three or four years.

LOVE Metaxa Brandy -
I used to really enjoy smoked haddock, my Mum used to poach them in a little milk. I've never got on with Kippers - mainly due to the multitude of small bones.

I took mild Italian sausage meat and mixed it up with chopped shrimp and red onion, made little patties then battered and deep fried them, and used Stubb's Sweet Black Pepper Anytime Sauce as a dip.

Yesterday had good old egg and chips. Actifried chips. Fantastic.
St Hubert shrimp and salmon pie today. They really are very good.

I'd try that. No Frills was supposed to have St Hubert tourtierre 2 sales ago but they never had any in stock - only chicken and broccoli.
