Some friends of ours sailed into Barcelona on Tuesday and they had hooked a 25kg tuna just a few hours earlier... so dinner for the last few days has been sushi and seared tuna steaks!

Enjoy your lunch GG!

Fixed that for you.


Can't wait....

Grumps, any word on who is running this Bagel Bar? If it is these people or, dare to dream, these people I am having a bagasm already...

.... bagasm.... that's yet another way I can embarrass you in future.

The bagels will come from the chaps in your first link, mybagel.ch. I met them at an American Womens Club do in Zurich once, and all the American ladies there told me that their bagels are just about as good as they could get back "home".

Their onion bagel, served warm, with Godminster Cheddar and Red Onion Marmalade is a winner (as I'm sure you can imagine!)

Steady, Tiger!!!

You wandering along this fine eve, also?

An event worth filming?



GG - how much will the bar takings go down once the bar tables are up? You'll make a fortune on the Rappi stuff - time to get a bigger fridge?

Don't need much help there, seeing as how embarrasing myself has always been something I've excelled at!

I will not, and I'm sorry to miss you. You been there propping up the bar all afternoon, I'm guessing?

Well another AD for Viadukt...or kind of...

Whilst wandering the halls and stalls of the Expat Expo yesterday I met up with Grumpygrapefruit and enjoyed some great conversation, introductions and fayre

I would wholeheartedly recommend their new products and enjoyed much of the port and cheese selections I left with in front of the screen last evening and let me tell you guys; it was a purchase that for once put me in GOOD favour with the Mrs

I had one of Grumpy's bagels at the Viadukt tonight, and I'm here to tell ya, it was absolutely exquisite. Best bagel I have had in Switzerland, hands down, and in fact better than anything I could get locally back home either.

And I've got three more of them in my bag. Right, that's tomorrow's breakfast, lunch and dinner taken care of....

Big Bagel ! That's that cheesy bagel joint? I hear they got some tasty bagels. Ain't never had one myself. How are they?
Th-they're good.
You mind if I try one of yours?
This is yours here, right?
Mm-hmm! This is a tasty bagel! Mathnut! You ever had a cheesy bagel DB ?

Want a bite? They're real tasty.
Ain't hungry.
Well, if you like bagels, give them a try sometime. Me, I can't usually get them 'cause my girlfriend's a vegetarian, which pretty much makes me a vegetarian. I do love the taste of a good bagel. Mmm. You know what they call a sandwich in Switzerland?
No.
Dreadful stale leather.


AYB

Mmmmmmmmmm! I just had the "Käsemeister Bagel" (toasted wholemeal bagel with stilton and portwein jelly) at Grumpy's bigger and better stand.
It was FANTASTIC! Thank-you!
I know where I will be going for my lunches when I am in town.

Just a note to other "proper" roasted potato lovers:

The Pie Shop is now selling real goose fat. Yes, you read that right. A small jar for 10CHFs. We will be testing it out this weekend but we are excited already.

The market is open today from 11.00 - 18.00 and there's lots going on. I have Hot Toddies, the Waedenswil brewery are here, lots of Pies of course and we have some crumpets and muffins left. I also have a few bottles of Port open and some great new cheeses from Yorkshire. Be sure to say hello!

If you don't know what to do on this wet Zurich day, head down to the Viadukt market, there's a Freiburger special event on, lots of good food specialities including Vacherin and Gruyere cheeses of course.... and you can meet the cheesemakers, helps if you speak a bit of French!
