New Years Day - food for friends

Home made Melton Mowbray pork pie, pickled onion and Portuguese Piccalili

In with the new!!!! and suddenly it was the first of January 2011 - one of the one twenty one one. New Years day lunch saw the unveiling of the Thespian´s home cured ham and my second delivery of home made Melton Mowbray Pork pie. Supplemented by the fruits of my last few weeks labours from the Casa Rosada store cupboard we sat down to a hearty lunch, which also included Chourico Branco, Manchego cheese,and home made chicken liver pate Our crimes from the previous night were aided and abetted by Portuguese Mary´s ( Bloody Mary with the addition of Dry Madeira).Well it would have been churlish not to.

The thespian´s first cured ham. We were impressed. Absolutely delicious
