What Are You Eating?

I’m down for any cuisine where French fries for breakfast is acceptable. Sign me up!

What’s the larger dish in the casserole with the three square condiment bowls next to it?
The fries were an interesting component for sure. We went to a dinner event a month ago where fries were served as well.

The egg dish is called menemen. Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, peppers, onions and herbs.

The highlight was the black truffle borek (little cigar shaped pastries). The cook and her husband are actually cultivating truffles on their property and just got their first truffle this year after six years of trial and error.
 
All this pork chat makes me think of the Town & Country stores. I use the Ballard one a lot as fairly nearby. Anyhoo, they sell a brand of pork, Beeler’s I think but whatever type of pig they raise, they are really good. The pork chops are marbled with fat, not just white meat and so grill or skillet fry really well. They’re not necessarily overly fatty but you do not need to brine as they stay tender and moist. And stunningly, they are really affordable, a tenderloin or a couple of boneless chops go for 4-5 bucks. They have bone in too and other cuts but I’m trying to limit meat consumption to a degree and so small portions works for us. Worth a look if there’s a store near you.

Town and Country usually has a few really good sales to bring people in and spend full price on the other stuff. If you go shop the sale only, you can get some good deals.
 
Duroc pigs...
It does seem to be a better pork product, see it around different places.
 
I’ll likely get some demerits for this, but what the hell. After getting up at 2:30 to go fishing, making a gourmet dinner wasn’t on the list of things to do tonight. I had everything to make a Rueben except bread, enter the Rueben Quesadilla.
It was actually quite good and filled the need for something quick. It kind of reminded me of something I’d make when I was really stoned back in my college days. 😂
Please pardon the fine china.

Did you put the kraut and dressing in there? Only demerits if you left those out.

That sounds good to me...
Any sandwich is a candidate for a quesadilla treatment.
I used to make pot roast quesadillas...dipped in a bit of gravy they were goid.
