...some Spam after midnight! Today we shall be marvelling at the comforting qualities of the naughty but nice Spam Fritters we ate last night as well looking forward to seeing Mamma Mia! later on this week.
On a comfort food note, we were pleased to hear about your own comfort faves and also interested to see that no one has specified a sweet treat as their perfect nurturing nosh. It seems chocolate addicts are not as common as we thought.
Anyway, back to the spam fritters. For those of you that may remember these from your childhood school dinners, Spam Fritters consist of a slice of spam, coated in a batter and deep fried. Healthy? No. Tasty? You betcha. Top your fritter with a little balsamic vinegar and ketchup (not Heinz) and consume. A sort of mix of retro chav and foodie finesse.
On the Abba note, do you like what we cooked up for the title of this post? What others can you think of?

Super Grouper.
Knowing me, knowing stew.
These are pretty bad I know but I do have a good recipe for you...
Super Grouper
• 4 6 ounce grouper fillets
• 1 Tbs. olive oil
• 1/2 cup onions, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 1/2 cup dry white wine or vegetable stock
• 1 Tbs. Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/2 tsp. basil
• 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
• 1/8 tsp. hot pepper sauce (try Encona Hot Pepper Sauce from Waitrose)
• 1 cup tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
• 1 lemon, cut into wedges
Heat oil in a wok or pan over medium heat. Fry onions and garlic for 4 minutes or until onion softens. Add grouper and fry for about 1 minute per side. Add remaining ingredients, except the lemon. Season with, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 8 minutes or until grouper flakes easily. Serve fish with lemon wedges. Delicious with boiled rice or a simple green leaf salad. If you can’t get Grouper you can use haddock or salmon, works equally well with pork, chicken or game.
Wonderful suggestion! I shall try that one evening.
And for the veggies out there....Take a Chance on Meat!
