Food has felt more important than ever this past year – particularly meals that offer solace. From rösti to Coco Pops, here are the dishes that got us through
Crumpets For me, lockdown has meant an absolutely manic schedule, working from home with back-to-back Zoom calls and long hours. Crumpets have been my saviour. Yes, factory made, perfectly consistent and versatile: top with yoghurt and frozen berries at 8am, blue cheese and leeks at 1pm, followed by eggs and spinach at 7pm, and you have a full day’s menu. For a bit more lockdown spirit, I tried the sourdough version (delicious if squishy) and making my own (I promise you, it’s not worth it).
Ham, cheese and red onion toastie
When you need that comforting, savoury fix, it has to be achievable swiftly. For our family, the answer is a deep-filled ham, cheese and red onion toastie. The ham should be off the bone, the cheese should be raclette (or similar), and don’t skimp on the sliced red onions. But what really transforms this snack into culinary opium is the addition of garlic butter – spread on both sides of sliced white bread before popping it into the sandwich maker.

It did kill two mid 90s relatives ....not properly treated I might add due to media hysteria against hydroxchloroquine
girls used to make kim chi for me.... no more... sniff
I went into a Korean store and asked for fresh kimchee. They kept calling me “ke! ke!” I think they meant dog. Maybe because I took off my shoes. I asked why I couldn’t get kimchee. They said “This is an accounting firm!” But I know they had kim chee somewhere in there.
That looks awesome!
Those look like, oh, what’s that French word for dry pieces of bread.....
Cretins?
[[I can not find decent kim chee]]
She left during the pandemic. Haven’t seen her since
Isn’t a crumpet what we call an English Muffin?
I love them.
Here’s an idea. Relieve yourself of this lockdown BS and get outside.
I said ‘crumpet’ not ‘strumpet’!..................
Did that as a kid. Try that with some ONION POWDER of GARLIC POWDER liberally sprinkled on top!.................
Had that for breakfast........................
unsure of the spelling but there is a French dish Cretans, it is ground pork or other meat simmered till rendered in cream with spices and spread on baguettes or crumpet..
That was one of the first things I fell in love with when I moved down here to Florida... hot-pressed Cuban sandwiches.
and go where? the zombie store? in my mask?
Blueberry Muffins...big ones....but I havent had any since before Christmas...
i grew up in dagoland, never heard of a panini press till i went to france, now they are everywhere
