It’s that day again where one casts aside ones usual dietary requirements to gorge on the unhealthy.

I’ve just been informed that we’re nipping out for tapas, early doors. Not your usual continental sort, but a Lancashire take on it. Mini fish and chips, black pudding scotch eggs, fried chicken, that type of thing. I’ll be having lots!

What’ve you got then fellow porkers?

Bacon. Brie. Cranberry.

I have just finished a mixed bowl of fresh berries, Greek yoghurt and rolled oats.

Can you tell I am a Southerner?

Why have you put jam on a bacon sandwich!!!

Can you tell I am from Northern stock?

sausage and beans on toast for breakfast.

Harissa olives, vintage mature cheddar and three flavours of pork scratching for breakfast. Egg mayo, cheese and crispy bacon for lunch.

Its a yellow this time, because you’ve still got time to rescue this with a strategic pie and chips

Incidentally, I was watching Celebrity Masterchef last night (don’t judge me) and I heard the finest sentence I have ever heard grace the English Language…

“follow me to the pie room…”

If only

Why have you put jam on a bacon sandwich!!!

Because I’m saving the fresh fig chutney for tonight’s cheese board.

It is, indeed, grim up north.

We have a posh burger van on site today and its free burgers all round (some work related treat) bloody delish they are, might have to go back for another 3rd to many combos to choose from :Burp belch:

Or much cheaper and even fresher at Doncaster market, Tue, Fri and Sat.

Healthy granola for breakfast ahead of a 40 mile road ride for an excellent bacon bap at Carsington reservoir, and back home in time for a corned beef, cheddar and chilli jam toastie.

Tea looks like being a cheesey pasta bake but I may have to go past Stacey’s bakery this afternoon……

Binners – looks like pies start next February

A couple of bananas for breakfast, nice healthy chicken salad for lunch which I ruined by being drawn in to Greggs for a couple of ring donuts… and home cooked fish & chips for dinner.

Bacon bagel and bacon and egg butty for lunch. My beer fridge is looking dangerously overcrowded so will be making some space for the air to circulate later.

Had salad stuff our for lunch then found leftover mash. Fried that up with two eggs, mushrooms and bacon. Nom.

Cheating as two days ago, but this was the best steak pie I’ve ever had.

I’m still thinking about it on Friday if that qualifies.

Felt I should forgo my nearly traditional Didcot alfresco full English, after letting myself down when we were out yesterday (sausage and onion baguette, so good I had another, much to the irritation of the mrs), so I compromised with a bacon and mushroom stick.

sausage and beans on toast for breakfast.

Snap, added a fried egg.

Now for the fish chips and mushy peas. Proper British Fryday

In Bath for a gig and just found a bar that specialises in cider and pizza, two of my favourites! That’s me sorted for food and drinks 😀

Full fat lunch:
4 doorstop sized pieces of toast with lashings of proper Jersey butter. Half an avocado, half a block of halloumi and 2 poached eggs.

Fruit pie for pudding.

Piece of Aldi fruit and nut chocolate.

Preparing for a week long gastronomic extravaganza in the lakes next week, so just a large donner kebab for me tonight…

Breakfast – bacon and egg toasted sandwich in the work canteen

Lunch – large Big Mac meal

Supper – three pints of Stella

Just outside Sheffield so Northern!

Down in peebles for tweedlove today so potato pie and steak pie for elevenses and then a black pudding pizza later on

Where do you get a black pudding pizza??? Need to know for next summer!

It was ones of the food vans at tweedlove

Mackerel and potatoes, I was feeling quite virtuous til I drowned everything in butter and salt.
