Pigging OUT !!!

Everyone has different forms of contentment, well for me it really is food. Not to sound too much of a glutton ( although it would not really matter to me if anyone thinks so !!! )

Nothing is better than a great meal after a hard long week of work. Something comforting and something sinful of course! Sweet of savoury does not really matter it just have to taste great!

When we were in London, on Saturday afternoons at Portobello Street (the time of the week where the street is transformed into a never ending street market) there was a stall which sold the most amazing roasted pork sandwich, HOG ROAST ROLLS as it is known. Something about biting into one of those bad boys on a sunny afternoon seemed intoxicating ! With the fatty goodness dripping from your hands and biting into the crunchy crackling, what could one ask for more ?!?! The vendor had a whole pig on a spit and carving straight from it! Simply magnificent !  Follow the link for the Portobello Street Photos on Flicker.

Trying to recreate the nostalgia, last night I had a roasted pork knuckle with arugula leaves, some freshly baked baguette and a new favourite of mine, Truffle and Celeriac mustard from MAILLE. Of course not forgetting a can of chilled beer for me! ( also not forgetting Bernie’s chilled Shandy … of course ) The only cutlery needed was a spoon for the mustard and a serrated knife to slice the pork ! How great life is ……. Hmmm …………..
