Food on the run...
Fast food.
We all have to grab a bite to eat on the run at times. We’re not talking about enjoying food here, but food as a good healthy short term fuel for our biochemical processes. What would be preferred ? McDonald’s KFC West Cornwall Pasty Company Burger King Taco Bell Pret a Manger Other I find if there is no Pret in sight, then more likely than not a KFC, You ? …

Haven't got a lot of those choices. I'd go for Pret first if I did.
My food on the run is usually around train travel so it'll be whatever outlets there are at the station Local one has a Pumpkin - the others I use have Starbucks. Margate has got a good independent but I rarely travel through there

Yum...

Like the New Yorker Rye Roll. ‘Salt beef on*a layer of mustard mayo and gherkins. Topped with pickled cabbage & carrot, rocket and a sprinkle of crispy onions. All served in a barley & rye roll.’ and a Butternut Masala Soup. ‘Rich with coconut cream and chunks of butternut squash, this masala inspired soup is lightly spiced with turmeric, garam masala, cinnamon and cumin with a hint of cayenne pepper. ‘ ...

So long since I've been in a Pret that I wouldn't have known what they do these days. Had a look at their online menu and certainly some decent looking options ISTR their pastries were pretty good.

Whatever takes my fancy.
Which at this very moment for some reason. I fancy a Subway. But in a couple of hours I’m opening a bottle of red (inexpensive but good) to have with a very nice fillet steak, creamy mash and asparagus.

Filet steak, creamy mash and asparagus sounds good. Asparagus pee for the next 24 hours though. Haven't done a steak in the house for a while. Don't like the grilling or pan frying smell. Almost warm enough to fire up the Kamado Joe. Yep, Spring and Summer and return to being carnivore again...

All day some days.

My preference is 30 day dry-aged fillet when I can find it, although of late I have developed a liking for a nice ribeye with all that tasty melting white fat marbling. Almost never grab 'food on the run' from any of the typical outlets, but I do enjoy an all day breakfast from Morrison's or a motorway service station. Always think a cooked breakfast is quite a tricky meal to do at home so it is a treat when out and about. Otherwise I like to find a little cafe or tearoom somewhere and take a moment from the day to sit down and eat properly. Kind Regards, Rimmer.

Fat myths exploded...
Quote:
It is not correct to blame saturated fats for heart disease, per se. The long chain fatty acid fats like, butter, lard, coconut oil, palm oil increase total cholesterol, but the increase in HDL (good) cholesterol is of benefit, if you optimise your HDL/LDL ratio. It is only the LDL (bad) cholesterol that is bad for you. The saturated fats also include beef, lamb, pork and chicken with the skin on. While it is generally accepted that the monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats in the Mediterranean diet are the healthiest, we shouldn’t avoid saturated fats. The brain needs oils and fats to work properly. Saturated fats are solids at ambient temperatures and when eaten, because of their density, flow around the bloodstream and do some arterial scrubbing. If you compare this mode of action with the lighter fats which emulsify, become foamy and have a greater propensity to stick to artery walls, you can see the benefits. Like all good things saturated fats should not be over indulged in. But butter on your toast, cream on your scones, a beef dripping fried sandwich and coconut oil for cooking, ain’t necessarily a bad thing. And peanut butter with coconut butter in combination is a great spread. The cytokinins (plant hormones) in coconut jelly/milk/water have shown anti-aging effects on human fibroblast cells through anti-microbial, anti-oxidant and DNA repair mechanisms. It would be reasonable to suggest therefore, that the humble coconut is a good health agent. Guatemalan rum with coconut water, anyone ? Love it…
