What have you recently eaten?

Chicken burger with mayo, lettuce, onion, tomato and cucumber.
The chicken breast was breaded in corn flakes and deep fried.

Afternoon tea with the girls, but none of that dainty tea tray business - big fat bacon, brie and cranberry panini with greek salad, pot of tea and a choice of five cakes. A brisk walk and a nap were subsequently required!
 
Steak with asparagus, lemon roasted potatoes, garlic/thyme mushrooms, and stilton sauce.

Once the mushrooms are cooked and asparagus blanched, lemon added to the pan and asparagus tossed in it. Not sure if the balance is ideal but I don't have great taste anyway. I really suck at making asparagus taste okay, apparently you can infuse the cooking water with more than just salt, but I haven't gone too deep into that.
 
Some spicy fried chicken wings from publix.
Legit the good shit.
 
Breakfast burrito with potatoes,eggs,bacon,cheese and sour cream. Also a Samoa Sundai basically hot fudge sundai with coconut flakes it was scrumptious.

I recently tried South African style biltong. The local/freshmade biltong is hard to come by in burgerland, but some South African expats have set up a big production line in my area, and I have had access to some of the pre-production batches. Unique flavor compared to American style beef jerky, and it has a softer consistency too, but still keeps as well since the vinegar marinade and air/sun drying process has an equivalent preservative effect compared to meat-smoking. Pretty filling, too. Now I can easily imagine how the Boers in the old days could live off nothing but biltong, rusks, and coffee for weeks on end during their lengthy treks and campaigns in the African veld.

Hopefully these guys can settle on a local distributor so I can buy the stuff on the regular. Apparently they have been getting a good response from the redneck boomer demographic in the pro-fishing and NASCAR circuits, so they might even sign on with Walmart or some gas station chains.
 
went to a Puerto Rican food truck stationed at a tourist area that's there pretty much all the time
got some pork and some fried discs, forget if they were plantains or yucca, they're the ones that usually come with a mojo-ish sauce. these came with thousand island dressing (? !)
food wasn't bad, took waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long, especially in the wake of that PR/Chinese buffet near me
 
Two surprising bad cookies from Publix bakery.

One chocolate chip, one "confetti".
All the crumbles of normal box cookies and that yucky grease "soft" texture like Soft Batch cookies.
