What are you eating right now ?

[soliloquy]

dexterously avoiding the carrots in my chicken florentine.

But you know they contain Vitamine A? That's good for your eyes

I'm  eating Marie Biscuits. I'm not sure what you call em overseas. But they're yum and good for my ulcer. So i eat them quite often. I had sushi for lunch. Was nice. I managed to eat two of 8 pieces with chopsticks. I was in a hurry so i ate the rest with my fingers.

Ok. I checked and it seems marie biscuits are internationally a hit.

We pronounce it "mar" as in marmelade.

Afrikaans influence I imagine.

[thalberg]

I want to try some of  these biscuits.

Little blurb on them:

Thats is a very impressively written biscuit column. the writer has done a good job. And very informative. lol.

I never realised that people took such an interest in biscuits. I'm intrigued.

Always thought the rave was about cheese and wine.

Never really considered the vast variety of biscuits that are available on the world market.

Quite magical really.

Why? What's wrong with them? Or do you just dislike them or are allergic to them?

Spicy Honey Mustard Buffalo Wings and Chili Cheese Steak Fries!

[Essyne]

Half of a Whole Foods's strawberry salad (spinich, strawberries, and feta), chile pepper tofu, and mineral water - mmmm!

[keypeg]

Rofl!  I read the title as "What are you eating right now: anything but piano?"  Cottage cheese on rye with onion on top, sprinkling of coarse salt and pepper, no piano. 

[sharon_f]

Planters whole cashews. Yummy!

[Bob]

Iced tea.   

[Essyne]

Chips and habenero salsa!

[Bob]

Bagels.  Fresh chewy, non-hard-as-rock-stale, bagels. 

With cream cheese.

And pineapple. 

Mmmm.....

[jlh]

muffins! mmm...

[Essyne]

An Amy's cheeseless vegetable pizza.

*heaven*

[thalbergmad]

A couple of plain crackers followed by some Hoodia.

Thal

[ahinton]

Some fresh grilled Cornish sardines with a nicely dressed salad of watercress, rucola, red oak leaf, Swiss chard, little gem lettuce and baby vine tomatoes (all organic) with a few slivers of organic avocado and some organic Jersey Royal new potatoes done in a beurre Charentais with chives - and a glass or two of Clos Floridθne (Pessac-Lιognan) 2000...

Well, to be honest, I'm not actually eating that right now, as I'm writing about it instead, but I'll be enjoying that in about an hour's time...

Best,

Alistair

[Essyne]

Mmmm . . . I have to be honest, I'm quite jealous, Ali. . . . Except for the Cornish sardines (w/e  ) sounds quite good. You must be some cook.

Gotta love the organic! We grow all of our own veggies organically, and buy everything else from Whole Foods.

Is there a Whole Foods in Europe? A potentially retarded question, but will ask anyways.


* * * *

Thal - that's just plain wrong. 

[jlh]

Tomato Muffins!

[kwesifriends]

Carbonara my favorite! 

[ahinton]

Sadly, my abilities in the kitchen are pretty limited...

There are plenty of sources for organically grown fruit and vegetables and organically reared meat in UK and other European countries; even most supermarkets stock at least a certain amount of this.

Another point for the UK. . . .

We are the only organic beef ranch I think for miles, sadly. SOME supermarkets are providing organic foodstuffs, but not many and the selection is not that good (Luckily, they built a new Whole Foods where I live, so it's no longer an hour and a half trek to find adequate sustenance  . Thirty-five minutes will suffice).

[thalbergmad]

Some more crackers and half a pint of skimmed milk.

All organic.

Thal

[jlh]

Beer muffins!

Don't believe you, Thal! And don't need to, either! You don't have to be some kind of open-toed-sandalled alternative eco-friendly moralist to appreciate the virtues of organically produced food - a totally sybaritic viewpoint can address it equally well. In other words, it's not all about planet-saving vegans and brown rice - far from it, indeed. So what about a really good well-hung decently butchered organic rare-breed sirloin steak and a glass or two of fine wine? and if you want to have some milk (preferably at some ither time of day!), then what's so wrong with unpasteurised full cream organic Guernsey / Jersey / Ayrshire if you can source it? And why not try some unpasteurised organic Devon Oke cheese from your "Country" with that capital "C"? Great stuff!

Best,

Alistair

[Bob]

Spinach.  I want to be like Popeye.

[jlh]

Spinach Muffins! Tasty, and good for you too!

[Bob]

Popcorn.


I was thinking beer muffins sounded interesting.

[Essyne]

So what about a really good well-hung decently butchered organic rare-breed sirloin steak and a glass or two of fine wine?

I'm sorry, but I noticed that this post has apparently been dismissed. Has no one experienced the complete and utter bliss that is a nice, beautiful, naturally grown/prepared steak? I am no carnivore, and it little meat, but even I make exceptions. . . (The wine, I'm sure, will come w/ time - I have not established a taste for drink yet - can't stand the stuff).

Anyways, Ali, I wish I could be eating that atm - "I went to the market and all I got was this spinach/strawberry salad. . . . "

On a further, more bizarre note: A rare breed, those "open-toed-sandalled alternative eco-friendly moralist" are. I bet they'd make a nice organic steak (provided they were "decently butchered"  ). . . .

people who do that are madddddddd !!
how could someone eat next to his computer.
There is some table for eat..roalalalala.
anyway i'm eating chewing gum.

[Bob]

Water.  Although technically that's drinking.  I can imagine a "what are drinking right now?" thread.


I must be mad.  Some people don't have tables lucy.  You shouldn't make us feel bad, esp considering all that you've been through, being French and all.  (Bob notes a buildup of crumbs in the computer keyboard.)

[pmz310]

Alistar, going off topic about the food, but nice version of the chopin winterwind etude that you composed !!!!

Thanks! Just out of interest, where did you come across it?

mmm. . . . .

I'm eating a jalepeno tempura "popper" that a Japanese lady I know makes. It's a jalepeno stuffed w/ shrimp and cream cheese wrapped in seaweed and fried in tempura batter. Oh, and some avacado/cucumber sushi.

All hail the Japanese
