Beautiful meals, non-fixie.
Went to Brown's country market and brought home this deep dish apple pie.

Spent a couple of days in Ostbelgien, that part of Belgium where they speak German. Lovely area, and being in the Ardennes during the asparagus season can only lead to one thing: asparagus nach Ardenner Art. Now, does that look C&V or doesn't it?
And of course that famous ham also finds its way into the dish that started this thread, and still my favorite cycling lunch dish: the Strammer Max:

Every time I see this post's title, I'm wondering if you're inviting everyone over. Which you might do, but this would require a plane ticket from me.
Maybe someday!

Meanwhile, on the French coast ...
Lousy riding weather today, so we skipped that bit and went straight on to lunch. What could be more classic than a plate of fruits de mer and a glass of Pouilly-Fumé?

If you're ever in the neighbourhood, let me know and I'll be happy to treat you to an uitsmijter.

There are quite a few reasons why my better half and me keep coming back to France with our bikes, and one of them is definitely the food.
This time we're back in south-western France, home of the foie gras, and ...
... Andouillette!!
Lunch today:

How was the andouillette? I had it a few years ago in France, it had an interestinf taste. My wife did not like it, not even the smell.

This one was actually fairly bland, and as such somewhat disappointing. Still very nice, though.

A couple of days in Stockholm presented me with an opportunity to try a Swedish classic: Toast Skagen. A shrimp salad (mayo, shrimps, horseradish and dill) on toast. Very, very nice.

As I was going through some old phone pics, I found these. Pictures of vintage ship's menus of days long gone. Found them on the walls of the hotel Edward 1er in Monpazier, France, where mrs non-fixie and I stayed on one of our cycling trips. Courtesy of Arjan en Marije Capelle, the proprietors (thanks, guys!).
Thought you might like these, and couldn't find a better thread to post them than my own good ol' lunch thread.
January 6, 1934. Dinner aboard the "Heiyo Maru". Apparently she was eastward bound:
To kindle your imagination, this is the Heiyo Maru, pictured in 1930:
From slightly closer to home, in many respects, a 1966 lunch menu from the SS "Maasdam", which probably did quite a few trans-Atlantic crossings between 1952 and 1968 for the Holland-America Line. I'd have wanted the "Relevé"
:
The "Maasdam" in 1966:
In 1971 things were going downhill, judging by the HAL menu aboard the "Rotterdam". It all seems a bit lower middle class to me. Cheeseburger and fries? Danish Blue? What happened to the Roquefort?
The 1959 "Rotterdam" is a beautiful ship though, and still afloat. Currently berthed in - where else - Rotterdam:

Thanks, [MENTION=185977]clubman[/MENTION], for posting those. You can't go wrong with stuffed peppers. One of my neighbors regularly goes hunting in Germany and he supplied me with half a wild boar last week, which is currently in my freezer. Some of that is definitely going to end up in a very similar recipe.
