What are you having for lunch? (rolling thread)

[Billy Bests boot laces]

I have gone low carb and after a day or two of pain weight is falling off and weirdly I don't feel like snacking.
Lunch - courgetti, garlic, chilli, olive oil and parmesan.
Breakfast spinach, grilled tomatoes, grilled mushrooms, pigs kidney and an egg.

Butcher opp me gets a delivery every Friday. He usually chucks all the Pigs Kidneys in the bin, because there's no demand for them!.
Now i pop in every other Friday, & he gives me 4 'big-uns' free of charge!. I just slice them up, cut out all the tough inner sinew, & freeze them.

You need a really sharp knife to remove the core but the effort is worth it.

I like them fried with a little tabasco on the side.

Bratwurst, sauerkraut and mustard.

Ha!. Still got about 10 portions in the freezer, a mixture between 'normal' salmon, & 'slightly' smoked salmon!. I do Boot sales at weekends, so usually not back by noon for my favourite!. Smoked cheese sarnie tomorrow for instance, taking it with me.
Like to mix it up weekdays, with local Butchers smoked bacon & sausages/chipolatas. I 'slum' it with a Ginsters pie when go to partners Mum on Tuesdays, to sort out her garden etc!.
And yes, i have plenty of veg with main meal at tea time!.

Couple of years ago i was walking past Belle Wharf one afternoon, when a fishing boat was unloading many baskets full of them.
The ones they've had this week, are smaller than usual & 'speckly' & so tasty.
No idea if true or not, but was told these ones are harvested in the English Channel between Dover & Hastings?.
