Decided to keep that for tomorrow when rugby starts!

 

Chicken thighs, coleslaw and jacket instead!

Love moussaka !

I've never managed to play one yet, but the Ouzo accompanying is pretty sound.

I was a tad surprised that Raki is not 40+ proof! Eased my conscience somewhat having a few carafes in a beachside taverna near Rodakino in Southern Crete! Good for the digestion I'm told!

I'm very surprised. I'm sure the Raki I was really enjoying back in the summer was near the 40% mark. They were serving it in pretty small carafes, but I'd feel it the next morning if more than a few were consumed! Yep, good for the digestion, apparently. I much prefer it to Ouzo.

Lovely part of the world, southern Crete. We travelled right past Rodakino, stopped off just west of there for a swim and a very good lunch of pork and beans. Spiaggia di Polyrizos

We try to get somewhere between Plakias and Chora Skafion and enjoy the food and attitude wherever! Sorry to hijack the thread too, but, I've had some epic kebabs, chopped chicken, big white bean in oven and "wtf is this" supper!

A hearty winter stew. Made with a nice, respectably sized slab of Beef Skirt.

I'm inspired sime!

Thinking potato dauphinois with beef olives would go down nicely this evening...

Sounds good. Comfort food as well.

 

I'm a big fan of the rarer, (these days), cheaper cuts of meat. Loads of flavour, just need a little longer to cook.

Spot on 42.

Decent old school butchers have what we need.

Supermarkets are not your friends here, although most still do brisket, which is a personal favourite, slow cooked in ale.
