Stodge indeed.... What happened, just felt lazy?;)
Marco.
Looks great to me. Eggs, beans 'n mash. Just my sort of meal! :)
Just had some leftover mash. Also Cheddar Gorge cave matured cheddar, guindillas, cornichons, chilli sauce, boiled eggs, beans in some excellent olive oil & tomato sauce etc etc.Quote:

You’ve also reminded me that I must have a bash at making zabaglione, which I absolutely adore.
Lol - cheers, Adam... Yeah, polenta can be a bit of an acquired taste. However, the best way to have it is as a carrier for a nice rich sauce, which is why it works best with stews.
Plus, you really need to know how to cook it right (for HOURS, stirring constantly) and put PLENTY of Parmesan cheese in. Otherwise it's not the same.
I don't think I've ever had polenta done properly in this country, even at good Italian restaurants. It's simply too time-consuming, so you end up being served 'quickie' versions, which pale in comparison with the real thing, or often taste no better than wallpaper paste!:doh:
Another nice way to have polenta is deep-fried, and served in slices with some sautéed wild mushrooms on top. That's a classic in Tuscany:)
Zabaglione is awesome, but you need to use good quality sweet Marsala wine and the freshest free-range eggs. The more yellowy the yolks, the better the zabaglione will come!

lost my appetite, so not bothering. last few things ive not eaten much of. maybe need something special:scratch:
Lol - maybe it's because you're eating too much of the same thing, or variations thereof, and you've got bored? Before it was pasta, pasta and more pasta. Now it's sweet and sour/chilli chicken city!:eyebrows:
As they say, VARIETY is the spice of life............;)
Marco.
Don't think the anti virals are helping tbh
Yeah, hopefully you'll get your appetite back soon:)
