Eda (Glasgow) - Big Night Out



Well, last night's 'Big Night Out' went down a real treat thanks to Eda - our local Turkish restaurant which is the best in Glasgow, if you ask me.



First of all, the view - we decided to have dinner on our balcony which overlooks Glasgow Green.



Next a glass of Efes, a thirst quenching Turkish lager, to get the evening underway.



Followed by Champagne since it was a special occasion.



Starters - we decided to row the boat out a bit with the following selection:

  • Cacik (diced cucumber mixed with yoghurt, mint and garlic)
  • Baba Ganoush (smoked aubergine, onion and tomato)
  • Falafel (chickpea patties served with a tahini sauce)
  • Arnavut Cigeri (pan fried cubes of lamb's liver with red onions and sumac)



A little of everything with some Turkish (Pide) bread



Mains - Veggie Moussaka and an Adana (minced lamb) Kebab from the south of Turkey, served with rice, Bulgar wheat, pickles, tomato, yoghurt and a spicy sauce.



A tasty plate of Turkish treats - and like all great takeaway food there was plenty left for the next day!

Time to relax

And enjoy the view.

Kentucky Fried Seagull

The River Cottage chef has a some imaginative ideas for adding seagulls to the national diet - including a recipe for Kentucky Fried Seagull - would you believe. Here's what HFW has to say on the subjecy -  I think I'll contact Hugh - and ask if he'll join the TAPAS campaign. "Vermin with wings? Chicken of the sea? Or just an opportunity missed?" "First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
