After a meal last night with some friends the wife and I realised that what we think of as normal food is not thought of as normal by others.
We started with smoked salmon, in lime juice, olive oil, Balsamic vinegar, a pinch of pepper and grated cucumber. This is left to sit in the fridge for a few hours as the lime cooks the salmon. This is served with fresh bread and a bit of mixed salad.
Next was roast chicken breast, stuffed with motserela and wraped in smoked bacon, with roast potatoes and sotaed cabage and baby carots topped with crispy bacon bits.
To finish was a chocolate fudge cheese cake type thing (the only thing bought ready made).
Now I know this is a bit extravagent (it dosen’t happen that often), but to my mind there’s not any extreme’s of anything there, but to see the face of one of the people we were having dinner with you’d have thought we’d put goats testicles and monkley brains on their plate.
Now after talking about it for a while it’s gotten me intrested in whats ‘normal’ so I have a quest for you.
Record what you eat for a week then post it up here, I think it could be intresting, I’d like to see a good interesting spread of age group and social backgrounds as well as cultural background.
So come on for a giggle, Tell us your eating habbits.

Dammo, I make chicken stuffed with mozerella & wrapped in bacon quite frequently, but I also add BBQ sauce about 10 mins before it’s ready and serve with wedges
