I personally like eating Salmon, Lamb, Beef Wellington. The problem is that it takes too much time, to prepare it. So typically I just buy the ready one. All I do is to put it in the oven.A layer of leek, shallots, mushroom, cream preparation under and on top.
Served with a sauce based on shallots, fishstock, white wine, cream, dill, mustard.

In fact every year for Christmas and N.Y. I try to prepare something a bit out of the ordinary.I personally like eating Salmon, Lamb, Beef Wellington. The problem is that it takes too much time, to prepare it. So typically I just buy the ready one. All I do is to put it in the oven.

I reckon some sort of sourdough sandwichI've been sick for the past few days and have been able to eat nothing but sourdough. Could be worse!
I'm starting to feel better today so breakfast was sourdough with fried eggs.
Not sure about lunch yet.
I like the taste of Salmon now. Before tuna, and Mahi Mahi. I miss the delicious tender cuts of steak from America. Pork there is much cheaper than in this country. The chicken there and here is pumped with growth hormones. Unfortunately, because there are so many people on the planet, all food is being mass produced on farms, in giant cages, pens in the Ocean. Due to these tight living quarters, the poor animals, fruits, and vegetables, are prone to disease and infection, which leads to pumping them full of chemicals, and antibiotics.
The only way to avoid this is to live on the land, and grow your own. But the feed you buy for your animals could be grown with lots of crap in it, without people even knowing. Guess this is the way of the world now. What to do?🪿

It's nice these delicious cheeses are now available here in Bali. I have tried cheese made in Bali, but found it was substandard. Soft, little flavor, not aged. It's understandable though due to the fact that dairy products have not been a part of Asian cuisine. I believe refrigeration is relatively new here.Very nice cheese plate at my usual French place yesterday. And the bread was top as well.
A bit expensive at 150k, but once in a while ...

In wine producing region in Austria, in Bavaria (Germany) taverns in the countryside it is pretty standard to serve cold food, cheese, salami, ham, bread served with fine wine on the breadboard. It is known as Buschenschank, Besenwirtschaft, or Heckenwirtschaft in Austria/Germany and other German-speaking areas.Glad you enjoyed it.
I prefer my food on plates though. I am tired of all the poncy 'creative' presentation methods- good food doesn't need all the "glitter", it shines alone.
A good restaurant here in Bandung served my steak on a breadboard- I made them take it back & waited until they could find an actual plate- it took them about 15 minutes- I am patient when I am being anal hahaha.
Wow! They really know how to fill up a breadboard of food! Now that's service with a smile!In wine producing region in Austria, in Bavaria (Germany) taverns in the countryside it is pretty standard to serve cold food, cheese, salami, ham, bread served with fine wine on the breadboard.
