Suggesting Lunch and/or Dinner — CFFC

Continuing with the food theme CFFC host Dan would like to see pictures that suggest lunch or dinner.

Home:

On Christmas Day we like to make a nice meal which we eat at lunchtime. We usually treat ourselves to roast lamb with roast potatoes and three veg, Yorkshire pudding and gravy. Very British. We’re drinking nonalcoholic apple cider because Naomi doesn’t like wine. It seems pointless to buy it just for me. We always dress the table with a festive cloth, placemats and the good cutlery too. It looks as if only one person is eating here but actually I snapped this while my meal was reheating in the microwave. I find it hard to get all the elements of the meal to the table at the same temperature so we do this to avoid a meal that is what we refer to as “Royal Caribbean hot” eg. lukewarm.

The main course is followed, after a short break, by home-made Christmas pudding with custard, cream or icecream. I always try to set it alight by pouring brandy over it and lighting a match but it doesn’t always work for me.

A BBQ can be for lunch or dinner. Usually if we cook our own it’s dinner cooked on Naomi’s Weber BBQ kettle. There will be some salad to go with this.

Away:

We like to go out to lunch occasionally. This American style Diner was at Deloraine, a town an hour or so away from here. Sadly, I have heard that it is no longer operating. What a shame. I really wanted to go there again. The atmosphere was great and so was the food.

One of the many food stalls at Salamanca Market in Hobart. Definitely a lunch spot. The market is open every Saturday from about 8am to 3pm.

North Hobart has a lot of cafes and restaurants. Most of them are housed in older buildings like these.

There are lots of places to eat on a cruise ship. The buffet, cafes, the main dining room and specialty restaurants. Our favourite was Jamie Oliver’s Italian restaurant on Ovation of the Seas. We treated ourselves to dinner there and liked it so much we went back for lunch another day.
