Food Porn 2

Time for another clearup of pics that didn't make it into full posts... or as I like to call it food porn.

These were from the Links Tav at the start of Edinburghs second summer (I think it lasted 5 days). K's Salsa burger looked amazing but her onion rings had a scarily radioactive tinge to them, dispite being dead cold.
 I went for three choices off the tapas menu, chicken, calamari and prawns... all were awesome.
 Burgers are definitely one of the sexiest foods. Ooze baby, ooze.
 Table spread from one of Mr and Mrs A and I's sunday lunches. Picked up this fantastic alcohol-free sparkling Elderflower wine from the Farmers Markets.
 Amuse Bouche was wee oatcakes filled with: smoked salmon, cream cheese and caperberries; whitebean puree and semi dried tomato; mozerella, basel and sundried tomato with radish.
I do like a cheese board.

K and I stopped into a lovely farm foods shop, Craigie's for a bite to eat. I ordered the Ploughmans lunch... what a glorious plate. I would eat this for lunch everyday if I could.

 Roast beef, 3 kinds of cheese, 3 kinds of salas, pate, beetroot dip and bread. Amazing!
 This guy thought it was amazing too and kept trying to eat off my plate. He was cute though, so I gave him my tomato. He was happy and we are still friends now.
Does anyone else get freaked out by the fact birds are really quite alot like dinosaurs in their mannerisms?

 Haggis Neeps and Tatties tower on the Royal Mile. Sometimes I still like to pretend to be a tourist. I love haggis! I sure am gonna miss ashtrays on my table when I get back to Oz.
Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream at the cinema... I think we were watching Scientists Adventures with Pirates... It was awesome.
 Ikea lunch! I love Ikea meatballs. Chips were typically soggy... Oh quick rant... why can't anywhere in Scotland do properly crunchy chips... does Hadrian's wall keep all the crispiness on the south side? The dodgiest chippy in England still does better, crispier chips than any restaurant in Scotland. Rant over.
 It does look a bit like a school dinner, but it was lovely, stodgy goodness!
 Lunch at Urban Angel: always a winner. Chickpea parrt flatbead with salads. YUM.

Well that's my blog folder cleared up now. Hope you enjoyed.
