What I ate today - the food thread

It was a seminar about investing in Asian and emerging markets put on by an internationally recognized investment management company with a small focus group and robust discussion ensued. Finally, we’re back meeting face-to-face again. Will have content again for this thread.
 
Tonight I made "Beer Braised Bratwurst". Browned first and then braised in onions, dark beer, crushed coughin (should have been Caraway but I didn't have any) and Mustard Seeds. Eaten on hot Irish Soda Bread with mustard.

So we had to have a taste of Vietnamese at Nguyen bros Maroochydore.There is a closer branch now at Birtinya but that is opposite the new hospital so not a lunch place and no parking during the day.
Mrsdrron as usual had her lemongrass beef vermicelli salad.It is very nice.
