Nah, sorry though...it's the Ultimate Grilled Cheese with 14 different cheeses.

Whoa. That sounds like a serious grilled cheese sandwich. Seriously, though... who has 14 different cheeses?! It would cost a fortune to make!  :o :P

I just had the most amazing Ethiopian food from a stall on Dray Walk by Spitalfields (for the Londoners, they're only there Fridays and Saturdays). The two ladies make it all themselves and I had an injera wrap with three different vegetarian wats and a big place of mixed salads for a fiver. The icing on the cake is that NONE of the salads used vinegar (wwoooooo!) and everything was utterly delicious.

I'd never really had much Ethiopian food before but they've definitely won me over today. :D

I'll have to remember this - I have a Canadian / American / British friend who is moving to the UK from Seattle and she loves Ethiopian food and I want to do a London girlie weekend with her.

My coworker is a real foodie and he was raving about Lalibela in Tufnell Park, so I'm going to try and get him to eat at this stall next Friday and see how it compares. I'm just too lazy to go all the way up North when there's no many Ethiopian and Eritrean places closer to home (the area around East Street and Burgess Park is full of them).

Oooh, I'm jealous! There's a FAB Ethiopian restaurant in Dallas I went to a few times, I'd love to have some good Ethiopian food again. I think there I just used to get a big vegetarian platter with lentils and various things on it and some spongy bread to pick it up with. It's been too long!

I LOVE Thai food and I haven't had it in yonks. I think I need to rectify that!  :P

Meatloaf sandwich- the BEST thing about having meatloaf is the leftovers for sandwiches!  :)

Indeed! I love cold meatloaf sandwiches!  ;D

I had half of a grilled cheese sandwich and some hummus with pretzels.

Tuna melt 'cause the kitties weren't eating their food so I opened a can and poured the tuna water (and it is water - I always buy tuna packed in freshwater) over it. Now we all have full tummies.

As an aside - I love dill on tuna-fish sandwiches. And why do I say "tuna-fish"? It's not like I'm afraid you'll confuse it with tuna-vegetables or tuna-bunnies.

J and I are off to Ullapool for a photographic excursion- and that only means one thing for lunch- Fish and Chips- which I don't need- (my bum especially) but they're some of the absolute best fish and chips going  :)
