Lunch at Stuut's, a vintage - if not classic - snack bar in Voorburg. Kept myself in check this time with just two small rolls, one with bacon and katjang sauce, the other with a fried egg . And some milk, of course.

Another pic from the Non-Fixie Classic Food Picture Archives. Breakfast at the Pineapple Bar in Marmaris, Turkey. First time I had this was in '92. Has been standard operating procedure since then, whenever I visit Marmaris.

For new year we had traditional Japanese food and Dutch oliebollen. Both made by me wife and both tasted very good.

Mrs non-fixie and I spent the Easter weekend in Nice. Three days, three great lunch opportunities.
Poulpe á la Nortena at a Franco-Peruvian restaurant. A very tasty stew with octopus, sausage, potatoes and various veggies:
Tartare de Boeuf at Le Marché. There are few dishes I like more than this traditional, and this was one of the nicest I ever had:
Tried a Franco-American lunch too: a sandwich pulled pork (pronounce with your best French accent) and a Coca:

On Saturday AM we baked these all-butter almond croissants. They take 2 days to prep.
Saturday eve we had dinner at a friend-chefs house. He made braised, grass-fed short ribs au jus with sweet potato and celeriac/pea purees. I wish I had a pic of the Italian wine, a hot 14.5 % fruit bomb from Vulture to die for. (Aglianico?)
@non-fixie, you make me crazy with your lunches. Don't stop.

That looks like some good eats, alright. I might just be somewhat uncultured, but I never had cole slaw on a pulled pork sandwich, until last summer. Since then, I've had it a few times, it's delicious.

Seems I'm a little behind on my C&V lunch posts, so here we go.
Last month mrs non-fixie and I took a week off and went cycling in France. We like to do that . What we also like, after a morning's ride, is a decent lunch. Here's some of the dishes we've tried this time:
We were in Burgundy, and one of the local classics is Oeufs en Meurette (eggs in red wine). This was a starter version:
Followed by trout with almonds:
This one went straight to my heart: a fricassée de rognon et ris de veau. A combination of calf's kidneys and sweetbread. To die for. The local rosé wasn't bad either:
And as if I wasn't happy enough, they served a superb Colonel for desert:
One thing we like to do is order the menu du jour if available. You always get a lot of bang for your buck. This time it was €12.90 for a four-course (!) lunch. I forgot what the first course was, but the main course were these delicious pork chops:
The third course was a selection of local cheeses (forgot to take a picture - some local red mold cheeses and very nice), followed by an excellent tarte á l'orange:
When a restaurant has this sign on the wall, my hopes for humanity are up:
And when they serve a Tartare de boeuf like this, I'm confident the world won't end anytime soon:

Those are good looking lunches. We also went to France, but no food pictures.
In June was our 14th wedding anniversary, and we went again to our favorite Japanese restaurant in Amsterdam.

BLT, last time I checked. But that may have been in 1991.

Speaking of BLT, here's one in a similar vein. Today's lunch was a club sandwich. As it should be.

During a controle I had a pancake, bacon and cheese.

And when I arrived home, my wife had made ramen for me.

Those are soooo bad, and yet soooo good! You really need a 200k excuse to have one of these without feeling guilty.

A German lunch I enjoyed in the town of Zerf, last Saturday.
First came a simple but tasty salad:
It was followed by a 'Stammtisch Schnitzel'. Served with a malt beer sauce and two fried eggs, sunny side up. After having climbed about 500 meters that morning it went down rather well.

My wife is the best! I was surprised by a FedEx delivery of Muffaletta sandwiches shipped out from Central Grocery in the French Quarter of New Orleans. I have a particular weakness for this classic sandwich.

A trip to Tuscany is always good for some C&V food stuff.
Lardo di Colonnata. From the back of the Cinta Senese, salted and seasoned and left to ripen in the carrara marble groves of Colonnata. Thinly sliced and served with some rucola and pecorino. Melts in your mouth. Amazing.
Tagliatelle mantecate in forma di pecorino. The hot tagliatelle is tossed around in a giant pecorino cheese until covered, and served with freshly ground white pepper. Simple and delicious.

All of these fabulous non-fixie meals invariably bring up that life existential question - "Doth non-fixie cycle to experience alimentazione or doth he experience alimentazione in order to cycle?"
