    It was hubby's turn to cook but he bailed. Dinner from the Korean takeaway augmented with a jar of radish kimchi.

    We went back to the vegan restaurant downstairs. I had one of those newfangled engineered hot dogs. Indistinguishable from a meat hot dog.

    ^^ I agree it seems to be one of the most successful texture and flavour dupes. Even the Sainsbury’s own brand frozen range meat free hotdogs are indistinguishable from a standard hotdog!

    I dont agree. Have that fake meat without any topping and sauces. Thats the only way you can compare to the real thing. You will quickly notice that nope, nothing like it.

    Quite honestly, I think it’s all relative! I’m no expert on a ‘proper’ hotdog...to me a hotdog sausage is a tinned/chilled cabinet processed smoky’thing’ served in a long bun with ketchup, some form of mustard and fried onions if I’m feeling fancy!

    Pretty sure that in England we don’t care about hotdogs like you guys in North America! I’ve read such hotly debated things about mustard/relish/pickles depending on whether it’s a NY dog or a Chicago dog (those are the two I recall being compared)

    Anyway, to me, the fake hotdogs are at least as good as those probably dodgy things that are not made of ‘fake’ 😂

    $3 frozen pizzas, decked out before going in the oven. I took a cheese pizza and added red onion, mushrooms, barbeque sauce, cashews, and red pepper flakes.

    Hot dogs hardly have anything to do with real meat. Before tucking in both me and the hubby tried some of the engineered hotdog from the end without any condiments. We couldn't distinguish the engineered plant based hot dog from a normal hotdog, actually. I might have a compromised sense of taste texture, though.

    @BarbaraHelen2013 - this New Yorker can’t stand hot dogs!! I leave them for everyone else. I actually don’t know a lot of hot dog eaters..unless it’s the 4th of July here...
    By the way - last time I was in London-/ I saw a lot of currywurst in buns! A close kin to hot dogs no?

    😉

    it was my turn to cook but hubby stepped in to make nasi goreng from leftover rice. I just added pimped leftover pomelo salad from yesterday and a cucumber salad dressed with goma that we keep in the fridge.

    Not a clue! I try very hard to avoid going to London! 😂 Can’t say I’ve ever seen a currywurst but sounds like a German sausage with curry sauce 🤷‍♀️ Yuk!

    @just_Tomek is this a vegetarian version? Only veg versions i can find are loaded with potatoes. Vegetarian or not can you share your recipe?

    Lunch at my desk of leftover Dutch andijvie stampot (=endive with mash) and a leftover meatball from the night before. Dinner of weird salad for getting rid of leftovers. Baby gem, olives, gherkins, a little feta, some grapes and sherry vinaigrette. Spaghetti with pesto that has been in the freezer since summertime.

    Bacalao croquettes done in the air fryer. I got a weird hostess gift from a dinner guest who lives part of the year in Spain. A rather large quantity of salt cod.

    The hubby cooked tonight. Our regular salad of greens, blue cheese, pears, candied walnut pieces. His first attempt at fish amok was a bit too liquid. You see more aubergine than fish in the photo. That's two people's worth of rice.
