I didn’t have much fresh food in today which is unusual for me. Bowled over by my exercise earlier in the week of emptying and cleaning out the fridge, it must have slipped my mind to fill it again! In the end I decided to make fishcakes because I had about three large potatoes and some frozen cod. Along with the mashed potato and a few fennel seeds cooked with a small shallot, I added the last slice of smoked salmon, then dusted each ‘cake’ in seasoned flour before frying in olive oil. Quickly heated some frozen petit pois and served the lot with a little Linghams chilli sauce. Of course tomorrow will dawn and I will have to rummage through my cupboards to find something else other than my penchant for tins and jars of exotic produce that never seem to go with anything in particular

Worth noting for the sake of Melissa and others who are allergic to wheat that perhaps I could have used chickpea flour instead. At the moment I have various friends who are allergic to dairy, wheat, red wine, dark chocolate, nuts and kiwi fruit respectively….. and half of them are vegetarian as well. Mind you Miles none of them have admitted to a reaction against sprouts and prunes, not that they would ever in a million years think of combining the two at one sitting…

Instead of the usual indulgence connected with Christmas, my sprout curry would ‘energise’ most gastric systems …. made doubly effective in conjunction with my detox prune surprise pudding. Make certain the guests leave well before these take effect however, ensuring a good profit and possible weight loss as a bonus

Strangely enough Miles my ideas on festive dining haven’t taken off yet, can’t imagine why…. still, I do feel for you and your staff dealing with all those turkeys and mountains of christmas puddings day in and day out… must be tiresome.
