What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Looks like you’ve been eating really well on your travels @Antje77 I haven’t been following the chatty thread but I hope the recent heavy rain hasn’t caused you too much of a problem. I’d forgotten you’re camping.
Back on topic:
B- h/m yoghurt with m£S grain free granola.
L- h/m mackerel pate with l/c seedy crackers. Few squares on Montezuma’s AB
D- 2 small lamb steaks, fried mushrooms, courgettes and cabbage. I cooked this in the microwave for the first time because I’d run out of pans. Chopped, added a knob of butter and zapped for 2 minutes

, it was just right.
 
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and a carb killa bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and another carb killa bar.
Dinner: lamb shank in red wine gravy with cauliflower, broccoli and carrots.

Things have gotten rather wet in my tent, but nothing I can't handle with some creativity.

Too windy and wet to cook in front of my tent today so I had a fry up similar to yesterday's in the early afternoon, cooked in the lee of the shower building.
One egg, one slice of black pudding, one good size rasher of bacon, some tomato.

I found a farm store yesterday and an amazing cheese place today, so a cold evening meal with my tent zipped up against the wind. :hungry:

Morning all. Yesterday I didn't feel like eating so just had a piece of cheese in the morning and bacon and eggs later. Today I have a chicken leg but not sure when I will eat it as I'm not hungry. Hope you all have a nice day. :)

How about an aperitif before lunch? @RosemaryJackson. A small dry sherry is guaranteed to get those gastric juices flowing!

For a lateish dinner I had a (bought) chicken Phall, and I finely chopped some mushrooms and fried them with cauliflower rice as a side. It wasn't that hot, I even ate the whole chillis.

Not for the faint-hearted, eh? @IanBish. In my youth, Phall (sometimes transliterated as Phaal), achieved brief notoriety here, as the hottest curry ever created. That led to competitions to see who could cope with eating the hottest curries.

Phall is a fiery dish which is still served blow-your-socks-off hot in Bangladeshi restaurants or so I'm told.. Are ready meals equally hot? Regardless, cauliflower rice sounds like an ideal accompaniment.
 
Evening all

B: Two poached eggs with a knob of butter, avocado and three crevettes, all seasoned with black pepper.
Water to swallow tablet.
Espresso.

L: Mushroom and spinach frittata made with eggs, Cheddar cheese, onion, double cream and thyme.

Skipped pudding.

Water to wash down tablets.

It wasn't that hot, despite having a five chilli rating. Having said that I had a supermarket Carolina Reaper curry a while ago, and that was hot - I struggled to finish it. The mushroom and cauliflower rice was a nice combination.
