Friday 4 – Meat

Friday 4 is a self-imposed challenge where I post four food-related photos, and only get 4 sentences to describe each one. It gets these beautiful pictures out of my backlog, and also makes me take better ones in future!

I suppose a more accurate title for this lot of pictures is more “stuff the Doctor won’t eat” and even then, I think he might even give the last one a go.  Hope springs eternal, I guess…

April 2010, Lechon Baboy (roast whole suckling pig), Antipolo, Philippines

No Filipino party is complete without lechon, especially not my sister’s 25th wedding anniversary.  Even the Doctor was tempted by the smell, but didn’t go through with it in the end.  Let’s see if he can resist when we go back for Christmas!

August 2011, Sweetwater Cafe, Yarra Valley

Miso-marinaded wagyu beef with homemade egg pappadelle.
The first time I’d ever tried wagyu, and it was as meltingly delicious and tender as it looks.

March 2009, Pitty Pat’s Porch, Atlanta, Georgia, USA

Actual real Southern American fried chicken with cheesy bacon mashed potatoes.  The drumstick was huge, about the size of my hand, and tasted like crunchy, delicious chicken goodness.  The potatoes were … actually kind of vile with how much bacon and cheese they put in.

May 2009, Chinatown, Singapore

Whole chilli crab, 3rd on my list of things to eat when in Singapore.  Until I’m there again, OMAHS will just have to do!
Technically I suppose the Doctor could eat this, being pescetarian, but he does not tend to like it when his food can stare back at him.
