What I ate today - the food thread

[Hvr]

My first home made soup this winter. Lots of vegetables, some chicken, and even more beans . Finally a large pile of mushrooms. Just because I'm a fun guy.

No beef wellington with the mushrooms?

My only lunch this week was on Monday - Supernormal on Eagle Street.

As usual, love the current menu. The initial pickles were the hottest dish











Missed dessert as I was too busy having seconds, as some people had left

Bluff Oysters - fresh off the boat. Invercargill, NZ. Best we’ve ever had.

Where did you dine? I’ll be there at the end of the year.

Bluff oyster season is March to August.

We were there in March and had a doz at Fowler’s (first place one left) and then another doz or two at Oyster Cove (looking over the ocean).

Very nice, but TBH I prefer Sydney Rock - both north and south coast NSW.

I would go for Bluff oysters when feeling like fried oysters. But that is quite infreguently.

I remember years ago when I was in France and I told my friend we were going to a 1 Michelin star restaurant and she said only one star can't we go somewhere better. She now understands the Michelin system and it was superb

Who’s to know we weren’t Michelin inspectors!

Today’s lunch was at the Fig & Olive on Eagle Street.

Didn’t get a chance to photograph the menu as the host ordered multiple entrees and we only ordered our mains





.

My main - crispy skin chicken

Looks like "Fried 3 Ways " for entree @QF WP - Calamari, Arancini and Haloumi?

Today was at the Brisbane Club:



Entree was delightful. Prawns were juicy and the aioli and naam Jim were flavoursome



Beef cheek was well cooked and fell apart. The other option (chicken) looked lovely.



As I don’t drink coffee, the enjoyment factor with the tiramisu wasn’t there. Washed down with the remnants of my red wine.

 

[LionKing]

Yum.
