Italia Fabula!

Perfect!


And more perfection with added cheese

As was the case for the Roast Pork dinner, I cannot claim to have made the two Spaghetti Bolognese dishes above. My Better Half did and all credit must go to her. And it must be good too because I wan't much of a Spag Bol fan before she cooked it for us. In the first photo it was topped with Parmesan cheese, whilst the pic below was grated Mature Cheddar cheese.

**Warning**
This is not a good meal after a session on the booze. Unless you fancy making a terrible foody mess before bed. Eating spaghetti whilst inebriated is much like we imagine herding cats to be. Or squid. Ever herded squid before? I did it in a dream once and I don't recommend it at all. And this meal is not really first drunken choice is it? Chips beat pasta after a night out.

Rissoles and Pasta

Rissoles: golden globes

Added chicken pasta to the age old classic rissole & chips and happy to say that it turned out really well, as you can see in the photo. It was damned tasty and I didn't use as much vinegar as I usually do on rissoles. For some reason I think of this is as a summer meal, why couldn't tell you, it just feels 'summery' somehow. Be warned! Normal appetites would be satisfied with just one rissole of course, but as ever my hunger was at premium.
Chips are the only thing which accompanies a good rissole, salads don't cut it at all. Its like having cheese & crackers with a mug of tea. They can go together but are not an obvious pairing.
As seen from the chalkboard below from the Contented Sole chippy in Carmarthen, there are a few flavours of rissole on offer and all of them are delicious. Cheese rissoles are becoming very popular im told, whilst I always opt for the 'original' type.
