Country Pot Luck

County as in where are you from rather than Garth Brookes and line dancing. I can't remember how we ended up with this as a theme, but I found this quiz what country are you? and sent it around to everyone so we'd have a more impartial way of deciding who got what rather than everyone cooking Indian or Italian because we're more familiar with their cuisine. 

Starters:

France: paté and vegetarian mushroom paté

(There were also potato and vegetable cutlets that Paul made but I didn't manage to get a snap of them before they were all eaten)

Lunch today

Chopped tomato, cucumber and avocado with sunflower seeds with freshly squeezed lemon juice and olive oil. 

My dish for tonight's pot luck is underway. Tinned mock pork, which resembles cheap cat food, marinating in homemade bbq sauce.

P.S. My skewers ended up being a complete flop. I cooked them in the oven covered in the marinade and all the favour just cooked away. I was better off just dry frying the faux meat pieces.

Cocktail hour!

Behold the furry purple squirrel. An unusual cocktail, which does not actually contain any fur or squirrels and isn't really purple...
