Dinner is served...

Though I am mainly revising these days, a man still has to eat. Consequently it seems appropriate to show you what I ate this evening.

Sometimes when you come to prepare a meal, you find yourself presented with leftovers from the rest of week. Rarely was this more true than of tonight’s proprietor’s special at the Café. The meal is called Quinoa chez Highfield. Although it may look like couscous it is in fact a more unusual ingredient called quinoa added to tomatoes and in this case sausages etc. It is a seed which comes from South America and I have developed quite a partiality for it of late.

Quinoa chez Highfield bears a close resemblance to another dish called Pasta chez Dilettante, after the person who showed me the method. That pasta dish resembles Quinoa chez Highfield in two main respects: 1. chopped tomatoes provide the base on to which you can place almost anything you like, 2. sugar can be added liberally, along with herbs to provide more variation. To the best of my knowledge, however, quinoa has not yet been tried in maison Dilettante.

What were the outcomes of this meal? I was filled up and I enjoyed the it. I conclude it was a success!
