I was going to do a soup as a starter as I've cooked a fair few over the years, and this friend has missed out on them.

They don't do shellfish and I'm not a fan of squid/cuttlefish/octopus..

Without meaning to sound too much like greenhell, if you're not a fan of squid you're doing it wrong.

What's your fish soup recipe? I'm surprisingly open to being shown an alternative to 30-something years of experience of bad ones.

Also, really, you're into fish soup and you don't like squid.

it's too hot for soup corny..

penne pasta salad with shredded smoked mackerel, sweetcorn, chopped red pepper and dollop of mayo.. add slices of fresh mango too if you want to be adventurous

in fact i was going to start a new thread, what's in your lunchbox today, not a euph?

don't know haven't made it yet.
Would be a mixture of soup recipe from one of my soup books, plus me winging it..

I'm not a fan of the texture of squid/octopus/cuttlefish, nothing anyone says about it being amazing will make me chew it without a shudder running through me..

Was also thinking of doing a summer soup, fresher, spicier... maybe gazpacho or something in that vein..

It's hot, just BBQ some chunky octopus legs and be done with it

something in that vein..

Dinuguan?

fuck... that's serious.

Sure is. Damn good though.

we made ceviche at the weekend with chopped celery, lettuce, tomatoes, spring onions, red onions, lemon juice, all blended though then added shelled prawns and fresh coriander looks a bit like gazpacho, not stacked like this..

If you're not set on fish, Serious Eats has an amazing recipe for vegan wild mushroom ramen. You can do pretty much all the work ahead of time and then just heat things up and finishing touches before serving.

I've served that with a marinated portobello carpaccio and veggie gyoza for starters at a dinner party and everyone was very happy

We can't be friends anymore...

So jealous right now... Polvo a lagareiro is one of the greatest dishes invented by (wo)man...

Cheers for the suggestions, will look into them today :)

They are all good suggestions. Personally I love Rawduck and Moro but they are all very good.

I have an amazing butcher near me. Popped in for some things for the weekend.
Bone in pork belly - will cut off skin for five spice seasoned crackling and smoke the rest
Ox cheek to be smoked and then seared and served on sourdough toast - one of the weekend guests makes his own bread
1.5 kg t bone to be reverse seared - trying to decide if I do this on the BBQ tonight or oven and frying pan
And they had just finished a batch of scotch eggs so got one that is still warm for lunch today
