What do you NEED right now? pt 2

[Anastasia1999]

What? Is it too posh

I could have suggested Sliced Ham, Chedder and Blue Nun

No, not too posh but CheekyGirl and I have had no lunch/ no dinner and we are starving.

Blue Nun is an abomination. It’s Germany‘s revenge on the Brits. We wouldn’t touch it here

There is no such thing as too posh

I have never of nor seen Blue Nun in the US. I just looked it up. Doesn't seem like it's for me, as I am not a fan of sweet wines.

I do like dry German Riesling though

 

[thefishfryer]

That sounds perfect! When will you be here to cook it? Better bring all the ingredients, too

I'll fire up the TARDIS

Blue Nun is plonk. I’m glad you are not subjected to it in the US.

Riesling and Grauburgunder (Pinot Gris) are my very favourite German wines.

Life is short, let’s eat caviar and lobster for lunch

I have no idea who drinks it here either

Well lobster and caviar sound a whole lot better than the eggs I made for lunch a little while ago

If it's super cheap, I think we have something similar here (or did when I was at university) called Boone's Farm. Utterly crap.

Works for me! lol

I love eggs, they are so versatile.

Now I need an omelette

I love them too, but it's not lobster.

I haven't had a lobster since summer ended, after a parade of shellfish all summer at the beach

I'm not fond of Caviar, too salty, but I like your choice of wine. I do like a Riesling, but it tends to be overpriced here, as is Chablis in my opinion. I will buy them on special occassions, but for normal use there are cheaper wines which taste almost as good.

I wish I lived near the coast. Lobster costs a small fortune where I live, hundreds of miles from the ocean.

Living in the Northeast of the US, I feel we get very good lobster and other shellfish. Oysters probably being my favorite. It all comes from the cold water off New England and Atlantic Canada.

You've got the leg up on plenty of other stuff. Whenever I'm in Europe the quality of stuff seems so much higher. Even walking through a grocery store, the produce looks so much brighter and fresher than what I generally get.

I need to make more of a point to visit farmers markets for the fresh stuff straight from the farm, especially this time of year

Good wines are so reasonable here. You can get an excellent local Riesling for under EUR 10 a bottle.

Chablis is an excellent white too. As is Grüner Veltiner from Austria

An egg is all you need nutrition wise and comes in a convenient package. I had a beer omelette once.............. well to be honest I knocked my beer over my omelette. It wasn't that bad.

You are right of course. We always want what we cannot have. Can you buy raw milk cheese in the US?

I love oysters with Guinness. A complete meal in my humble opinion.

Now I need oysters and Guinness. Boo!

We have high taxes on alcohol, and with VAT the first £5 of an average priced bottle is all tax.

I hate cheap wine. The hangovers are dire

Works for me! lol

Hehehehe Welsh rabbit.

Argh, all this talk about good food, especially seafood, my *favorite*, when I'm just going to have to settle for leftovers for lunch!

I think I need to stop reading this thread lol

My older brother used to drink raw eggs for breakfast as a hangover cure as a kid it made me puke just watching him.

Unpasteurized cheese is not something I generally see. I'm not sure if it's totally unavailable, but you'd have to go looking for it. And I spend plenty of time in the cheese aisle

I have not actually paired oysters with Guinness, going to have to give that a try

Me?? *You* started the specific food talk! lol

I’m Irish and that is not an Irish breakfast

Fake news!! Lol

Speaking of which it is time for my dinner. Some kind of stir fry with turkey mince. I'm off to chose the wine, something strong and red I think.
