The Sacred Art of Eating

or you might call it sheer gluttony…

• Burgers on toasted home made bread with cold roast belly pork, gruyère, tomatoes, cucumber and condiments

They had some neat little organic beef fresh mini beefburgers marked down in Waitrose this evening. We had a little left over roast belly pork from Sunday but not enough to make a meal of. There were two of the rolls D had baked before work on Monday languishing in the bread bin; not yet stale but going that way and not worth eating as bread tomorrow.

So: we fried the burgers in a wee drop of olive oil. They smelled fantastic. Kudos to Waitrose for clearly putting good meat into their ready made range.  The rolls got split and very lightly toasted-little more than warmed. I discarded the crackling from the meat and sliced it finely, and did the same with some gruyère, plum tomatoes and cucumber.

The resulting constructions weren’t exactly what you’d call graceful. They were pretty inelegant to eat, as you might expect. But wowee did they taste good. Back to salad tomorrow!
