Just to tempt you all, here's an image of a typical easter dish we're about to terminate (Bacalhau ou Salt Codfish). Beautiful and DELICIOUS.

I love that dish! my Panamanian x-girlfriend used to make it all the time. We West Indians call it something else though.
 
looks delicious! We really don't celebrate easter, so we ate some Whoppers from Burger King and called it a day xD
 
due to me fuc*ing up in my last exam, I'm not with my family but sitting home alone and learning stuff about organic chemistry.
Really should have made pictures of my lunch, would be a nice contrast to your really nice dish! ;)

(btw. I got toast and some sausages.... ;) )
 
We had poor Spiro the lamb for easter... with lemon!

Amazing thing about this forum: cultural exchange!
 
We had roast beef today with loads of red wine!!! Good times!!!
 
nut roast with all the trimmings for me, chicken for girlfren...washed down with two pints of HSB bitter in a pub up the road.

not really an easter meal, but it's my 40th birthday on the 8th so we decided to have a nice sunday lunch.
 
I ate "croque-monsieur"...

(Not my pic, mine look better ;-) )


You take sandwich bread (pain de mie), and put some ingredients between two pieces of bread but my recipe differs a bit. I put bacon, goat cheese, and cheddar. You put this in a specific machine that "stick" the bread together and cook the whole ingredients. And it's yummy.

Not very Easter, but that's all I had at hand.

Cheese with cheese!!! I have to have this at some point.
 
Cheese with cheese is the way to go! (another cheese addict)

Is that machine called "toaster" by any chance? :lol:
 
It's not a toaster like this:




but something like this:

You open it in two, and put the croque-monsieur in it.
 
ha, in German: "Sandwich Toaster" => "Sandwich Toast" ;D

That's the stuff that made me surive the winter! Toast, Emmentaler, Bacon ...
Only chance for me to get something warm :D

This is something like what I had in mind, only it looks really hi tech. I meant the simple two-plates toaster. Does this device do anything extra? :d And what does croque-monsieur mean?
 
It's the exact one that I have. It's not high-tech at all ! :D

You can change the plates and make waffles too... But that's it.

Believe me guys. Bacon + cheddar + goat cheese = orgasm.


As for "croque-monsieur", I would quote wikipedia:

The name is based on the verb croquer ("to crunch") and the word monsieur ("mister")—the reason behind the combination of the two words is unclear—and is colloquially shortened to croque. While the origins of the croque-monsieur are unknown, there are many speculations on how it was first originated. The croque-monsieur's first recorded appearance on a Parisian café menu was in 1910.[1] Its earliest published use has been traced back to volume two of Proust's In search of lost time (À la recherche du temps perdu) (1918).
 
omg there's so much cheese in that wiki page :)
 
Funny thing is that I don't like "normal" cheese. And in France, we have hundreds of cheese varieties ! BUT, take whatever cheese and melt it... I'd kill to get some on my pizza, pastas or in a "croque"...
 
melted cheese!!! oh the excitement :lol:

i want an australian croc sandwich with melted cheese! surely someone from the south hemisphere can help.
