Birthday lunch today, oeufs en meurette, couple of eggs poached very runny served in a rich red wine sauce with shallots, bacon and shallow fried slices of baguette. Next course, filets de saint-pierre (john dory) one of my fave fish served with sautéed shrimps. Main course – decided to forgo the meats etc and really fancied an individual tart of sliced potatoes fried in butter layered with snails and garlic mixed with cream and gratinated with blue cheese, plateau de fromage and then crème brulee. Bottles of St Veran, and Santenay les gravieres 2005 coffees and a large glasses of Marc de Bourgogne (Jacoulot)http://www.jacoulot.com/authentique-jacoulot.php
Feeling pretty content, the missus is making a few ham baguettes with garlic mayo for supper later, I am drinking a couple of bottles of cremant de Bourgogne waiting for Masterchef, The professionals.

Sorry but poached eggs & gravy just don't float my boat at all

I've caught a couple of John Dory but have always returned them, I just don't have the heart to kill and eat such a beautiful fish
That's a mate of mine, Mark Harding from Alderney Angling and that fish tared off at 8lb 6oz

Fresh bass last night, caught less than four hours before (and I've still got another three sat at the bottom of my fridge ), cooked en papillotte with fresh dill and laid on a bed of rosemary. Served with crushed new potatoes, carrots & brocolli and a dill & lemon sauce.
Tonight will be more traditional fayre: Beer can up-the-butt roast chicken, roasted butternut squash, roast banana shallots (all done in the same tray as the chicken), purple sprouting brocolli, carrots, mashed turnip, mashed & roasted potatoes, stuffing and gravy made from the beer & chicken juices.

Meat 'n' potato pie last night (homemade, I stress) and a chicken & mushroom suet pudding currently on the go. You can't get much more "traditional" than that.
