Still life of Ham and Bread

Ham heaven, Bar Mudanza, Barcelona (Spain)

I find this photo so magnificent, somehow, that I just HAD to do a little post on this. Just look at that ham, curling deliciously, with a transparent patina of rich fat, alongside that crunchy toasted bread which has been generously rubbed with those viney tomatoes especially bought for this job, and topped with a generous sprinking of green gold ie virgin olive oil. Add some wine and you are all set for an evening of chatter and delight.

Dr Seuss says it so well.....

Say! I like green eggs and ham! 

I do! I like them, Sam-I-am! 

And I would eat them in a boat! 

And I would eat them with a goat...

And I will eat them in the rain.

And in the dark. And on a train.

And in a car. And in a tree.

They are so goodm so goodm you see! 

So I will eat them in a box.

And I will eat them with a fox.

And I will eat them in a house.

And I will eat them with a mouse.

And I will eat them here and there.

Say! I will eat them ANHYWHERE! 

I do so like 

green eggs and ham! 

Thank you! 

Thank you,

Sam-I-am

Pizza with a twist - Chicken tandoori pizza!

Mezze, Kathmandu, Nepal

Who would think that our Asian brethren would give such a twist to the classic Italian pizza? Why not add tandoori chicken ( chicken marinated in spicy yoghurt and cooked in a special oven called a 'tandoor') and sprinkle on some fresh cut coriander?
Any bready base with any tasty topping should be good, right? This pizza with a twist goes on to prove it. Absolutely delicious and still making my mouth water, even as I type. 
For you purists out there, I'd even add chillis to this particular one so SHOOT ME!
