Food Porn-Home Cooking

That particular one was a special, the regular menu burgers are a little smaller they have other equally awesome specials on other days (my favourite involving chicken burgers, bacon, sour cream, and guacamole). No fries, though. If you're still hungry you order a second burger, or some of their awesome cake

Cake sounds good to me! When I come to the U.K. (someday, lol), I will make sure to hit this place up! Vegan meetup! Who's in ?

Not quite mind-blowing diner food, but amazing lunch nonetheless:

That is so pretty, Renee!

View attachment 3557 Stuffed Roast Poblano pepper with roast plum tomatoes, guacamole with smoked chipotle sauce.

I haven't had stuffed poblano peppers in a few years. Shame on you for making me crave them.

They aren't easy to find over here and they are also expensive. However, they remind me of Mexican dishes which in turn make me feel happy !

I must make some stuffed fried ones with fresh corn.

I can never find poblano peppers anywhere.

I found this on a blog :

I recently scored a basket of poblano peppers for $3 at the Jean-Talon Market in Montreal.

THANK YOU

I'm going there this weekend and will keep my eyes peeled for them!!

Ah, I love the Jean-Talon market. The man who sold me my herbs for my wedding still gives us something every time I see him. He speaks as much English as I do French, but I'm pretty sure we're friends at this point.

Haha, I thought that all Quebecois spoke English. My neighbour who is from Montréal speaks English and
dislikes the locals over here !!!!
How do you manage to get around Renee if you don't speak the lingo ?

Having said that I love Daniel Pinard and Josée di Stasio !!!!

I know enough for basic transactions and my reading comprehension is fine. The Quebecois accent kills me though; I just don't understand it. Most people are bilingual in Montreal, but I'd say only about 60% are willing to use English. Also, there are two English universities in the city, so there is a HUGE community of ex-pats. I don't actually know anyone from Montreal and know very few people even from Quebec.

Montreal is unique, though and most people in Quebec do not speak any English. The man at the market is from rural Quebec, so that's why he doesn't.

I made mini pies for dinner

They had "beef" and mushroom in an ale gravy inside. We had them with roast potatoes, veg, and more of the gravy.

Oh those look lovely! Yum!

Mmm pie, roast potatoes, gravy, happy days. Alcohol makes all British food better What did you use for the "beef"?

All food is better in pie form, with beer

I used Fry's chunky strips for the beef.

My homemade pasta is delicious! I am so excited at how easy it was, too!

It looks a little naked but I was anxious to snap a picture and couldn't wait to try and add something to make it look more photogenic.

 

[thefadedone]

Great job KLS!

 

[shyvas]

KLS.

What did it taste like ? What kind of four did you use?

 

[KLS52]

Semolina. It just tasted like really fresh pasta. Light delicious pasta. To be honest, I prefer the one my mom used to make, with eggs. But I can totally live with the egg free version.

I ordered it off of Amazon.
