I heard that stuff can give you flashbacks. Well here's the proof.

We just about to try this... thing we got from a supermarket. For some reason I can't seem to upload photos but basically I think it's like a Portuguese haggis except that it's a goat's stomach with goat meat and ham inside. You boil it with some meat which also comes with it and then serve it as you like. In our case with tatties, red cabbage and onion gravy.
I don't think this one is actually in a stomach, some synthetic replacement most likely.

Interesting list of "weird" Portuguese foods here... most of these I've either had in Portugal, or else had something similar elsewhere but there are a few I still need to experience.

Last night I cooked something based on a recipe my mum made up years ago, which is really simple and good. Her version involves just mixing chopped ham, spring onions and strong blue cheese (typically roquefort, but mature stilton is fine too) into mostly-cooked pasta (spaghetti, tagliatelle or similar) with some single cream and a little of the salted cooking water from the pasta. Stir through on a low heat for a few minutes to melt the cheese and finish cooking the pasta.
My version used smoked streaky bacon - really good thick stuff from a proper butcher's shop - cooked separately in a frying pan. I then used the bacon fat, plus some butter to cook some mushrooms (obvs). Then mixed with the rest of ingredients and the pasta, as described above. The cheese I used was dolcelatte just because I found some in Aldi that looked nice.
All you need for serving it is some black pepper.

We went to an amazing Nepalese place with some friends today. Most of the "Indian" restaurants here tend to be Nepalese (as they're mainly Bangladeshi in London) and a lot of the time the menu is kinda the same as the ones we were used to in England with the addition of these little dumplings called momo which are great. Today though the place our friends took us to was a really little, homely and cheap place with a few dishes that were unknown to me and some more like Chinese food than curry. Eight euros each and we shared a load of dishes, it was the nuts.
