Have been spending the weekend with friends so eating has been away from normal routines but remained low carb. Dinner this evening was at a tapas bar, I had roasted salted almonds, meatballs in tomato sauce, and a side salad.

How coincidential!

I also had dinner with friends at a tapas bar today.
I had prawns in hot garlic oil and on the empty plate (slate?) were very lightly battered calamari, eaten before I made the picture.

I also had some roasted almonds from the person at the opposite side of the table and some cheese from the platter the people to my right shared for dessert.

Oh yes, tapas are meant to be shared @Antje77. Much of the pleasure as well as the fun is about sharing a plate with your friends. Those prawns look scrumptious.

It makes up for not having smoked fish. Plus I like smoked frankfurters. :)
I've noticed this previously @IanBish. Is that because you're not a fan of smoked fish or simply because there was none to hand?

I don't eat meat myself, but your "kedgeree" recipe might work well using smoked mussels or smoked oysters.

Had my meals in a funny order again. :hilarious:

Breakfast was deli meats and cheeses, and a couple of olives, something you'd usually eat in the evening, evening meal was what looks like breakfast to the English I suppose.
A tomato was meant to be fried as well, but it was still in my car and I didn't want it enough to crawl out of my tent and through the rain.

I even had dessert!

Living it up, eh? @Antje77. Seriously, it's good to know you're eating well whilst camping.
Who cares what order we eat our meals just as long as they're enjoyable and as low carb as practicable.
