A quick blogging-from-the-iPhone test. If this comes out alright, it could see a resurgence of posts on That's Fine Dining. (Which is what everyone wants, clearly).
Oh, this is tonight's tea. A souped-up Cajun chicken thing from Markses, with pasta and a tomato sauce with harissa and loads of dried herbs and spices in it.

Manhattan Pizza Odyssey

A $5.50 "special slice" from Ray's Pizza - pepperoni and chicken escalope

$1.50 pepperoni slice from 2 Bros Pizza in Hell's Kitchen.

The practical difference between the two pizzas - apart from the chicken - is that the $1.50 slice is best enjoyed by dragging the toppings and cheese off with your teeth, and throwing the base over your shoulder.

Meanwhile, this pizza came from The Irish Pub on 7th Avenue.

You might think that there's something wrong with this picture. You're right. It's a picture of a pizza with large florets of broccoli planted into it.

Roll with it

Some chicken thighs in tomato sauce from Marks & Spencers, eaten while watching Nigella cook "an unusual slow-cooked melt in the mouth Asian Braised Shin of Beef topped with a crisp hot and sour shredded salad".

From bad to wurst

Homemade currywurst. And then the following night, the leftover sauce used up with some chicken goujons. Lush. There's a currywurst museum!

Edit:
ANIMATION!

Twin dins

A pair of chicken dinners.

Kats!

Consecutive katsus from Tsuru and the Blue Sky Café.

Nagasaki dolls are burning

A delicious curry in The Coriander on Kennington lane. I plumped for the jhal puri, followed by the special lamb chops. My dining companion had the chicken cooked in a naga chilli sauce. Hot.

Home grown

A roast dinner, cooked by my dad. The beans were grown in the back garden.

Give us this day our daily bread sauce

A roast chicken Sunday dinner, at the White Hart in Kennington. The veg especially was delicious, but they'd run out of bread sauce.

A midweek summer roast

As it's Sunday, here's another roast dinner, eaten at the "assisted-service" Vale Restaurant (canteen) at Saint Fagan's National History Museum, near Cardiff. You can tell it's in Wales; look at all those leeks. This roast was eaten not on a Sunday, but on a Thursday lunchtime. Perhaps that is why Disappointment plumped for a ham and tomato baguette (not pictured) instead, augmented with plenty of cheese and coleslaw.

Colonel Sanders

or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Gained 7lb




A week-long jaunt around the country in a hire car. Rapid weight-gain ensued.
First stop, a lovely pot of tea and a KFC Zinger® Burger at the Welcome Break services, Newport Pagnell. (Welcome Break? You're welcome to it etc.) Then a lovely homemade quiche and potatoes and salad and things courtesy of Ma Disappointment in Nottingham. And finally, after a night on the town, a densely-cheesy pineapple and pepperoni pizza from Sneinton's finest The Food Junction. And that's quite enough for one day thank you.

When Saturday comes

A shared pain au chocolat and a pea, mint and feta muffin at the Royal Festival Hall. A chicken satay salad at Cha Cha Moon. Coffee and cake from Patisserie Valerie, eaten in Green Park.

A bellyful of Wales

Scones and tea cakes at Verdi's Café in Mumbles. Turkey rogan josh with half and half at the Ashburnham, Pembrey.
The following day, a picnic in the car on the seafront at Saundersfoot, then back to the Ashburnham in the evening for chicken tikka with half and half.
And finally, the day after, back on the train from Swansea to Paddington with homemade chicken sandwiches.

It's been a while...

A long while, in fact. Something to do with a startling BMI and seeing a documentary about fat toddlers on Channel 4. Let's celebrate our return with a chicken curry with half and half, from the Ashburnham Hotel, South Wales. Here's a little map. Get yourself down there.

Pollo

Chicken and chorizo cooked in tomatoes and sherry. I put an orange on the top because Maria said that would make it more Spanish.
