Firstly, my Kiwi friend bought in Pikelets:
Pikelet with Jam and Cream
These are basically Scotch pancakes or drop scones. Very tasty although I only just discovered that Elmlea isn't real cream. What?!?!?! They don't make this clear on the packaging. I feel tricked.
The pancake theme was continued for dinner:
Seafood Pancakes
This was another recipe from Something for the Weekend and was pretty good. We just filled pancakes with mixed seafood (a fish pie mix) in a white sauce. This was almost like a pasta bake and was very quick to make. I plan to make this again with different fillings; chicken and spinach would be lovely. One thing I didn't like though was the tarragon. I'm not a fan so will avoid in future. It's a bit too sambuca-y for me.
For dessert:
Lemon and Suger and Nutella Pancakes
My boyfriend (from now on known as 'C') was adamant that we stuck to the traditional lemon and sugar topping but I really love Nutella in a pancake so defied him for one of them. He is responsilbe for all pancake making in the house; I don't know why but maybe it's just one of those man jobs like doing the BBQ and taking out the bins...
I also ate:
Egg and Tomato Baguette from Pret
This was ok but I thought the tomatoes would be sun dried but they weren't. I ate a lot of eggs yesterday as you can see...
Thai Red Chicken Wrap
Disgusting. Threw half of it away. I'm never getting a Boots Meal Deal again. Yuck!
Marmite and Laughing Cow Pitta
A snack to compensate for the thrown away wrap.
This morning I had:
Soft Boiled Egg with Rye Bread
I got the bread from Amsterdam as I had it with the pea soup and loved it. Not sure how I feel about it now I'm home. It's a bit sweet. I might try it again at lunch.
