The Pesci Penfold

The Pesci Penfold I look like a mole, match my socks to my glasses, love to travel and I love food. In 2022, I made the decision to be Pescatarian.

This page is reviews, recipes and a look at how good pescatarian and vegetarian food can be !

Firstly apologies for not being on for a few weeks … busy with work stuff ! But that doesn’t mean I haven’t eaten ! 😀
On Saturday I was in Chester, a beautiful city with lots of good and drink places but I ate in Chester Market at this Vegan place . It was amazing but unfortunately not worth the £16 I paid for it. Essentially it was a fake doner meat wrap and paprika chips but if it was £10 then i’d get one every time.
In my eyes it was very expensive . sound I eat it again… not at that price !

Peace out

Just come back from another lovely break and carrying from the last few holidays , I ate dishes associated with that country . So as I was back in France via Switzerland .. we just had to try Fondue. Now myself and my partner Amanda went for 5 cheeses and mushrooms and it came with bread, potatoes and salad . It was good but not outstanding !

Well after a boozy night raving in Knutsford .. a good meal was called for today and that’s what I got ! Tonight’s offering is seafood Paella. 🥘

Now I am very grateful and I probably am the luckiest man in the world when it comes to getting meals made by their partner .

Amanda is without a doubt the best cook I have ever met . I have said in the past that she should go on masterchef as her cooking skills are amazing . Tonight’s offering was just seafood heaven !

morning and this is a simple Breakfast which I have craved for two days now and i’ll be honest I don’t normally eat this but I knew I was going to the gym this morning to work out .

It’s a take on McDonald’s egg McMuffin meal and made at a fraction of the cost … in fact it was about £1 a Mcmarland muffin ( copyrighting this 😂) .

Easy as get a toasted muffin with 2 x plastic cheese and and egg and a couple of hash browns to boot ! …. I need a hearty breakfast today …. Amanda is taking me raving later and im 52 !

Peace out and rave on !

When i’m on my own I like to cook hearty meals and there’s nothing better than a fake meat and potato pie, chips and gravy .

Essentially I mix onion, quorn meat and potatoes in water and reduce down the water until there is very little left and add the gravy . Simple ! … then Imake a flour and butter pastry , put the meat and potato into an oven dish and put the pastry on top in the oven for about 20 minutes . Chips are parboiled, then put in air fryer twice . Serve with gravy .

The result …. well let’s just say there’s none left !

Valentine’s day yesterday and the plan was to go out and get an M&S meal deal for two. The things on offer didn’t quite hit what we wanted, so my partner created our own 3 course meal.

The starter was amazing prawn and scallop gratin which was beautiful to eat and we had sourdough slices to dip in the sauce.

The main was a tuna steak with seasoned Parmentier sweet potato and normal potatoes served with asparagus, tender stem broccoli and a creamy lemon sauce.

The pudding was a dark chocolate and avocado ( yes avocado !! ) chocolate mouse with cream and fruit .

oh and we had a glass or two of Prosecco !

It was truly amazing and worthy of a valentine’s day meal !

Peace out

Omg … this was soooooo amazing ! Nestled down a small country lane in Mobberly is the Barnshaw Smithy . A little eatery that unless you know the area you wouldn’t find. That is unless your a local because this small converted barn was heaving and very very busy .

The food was amazing , I went for a veggie club sandwich and I wasn’t expecting much but this blew my sandwich socks off . It was really good ! If you get a chance to ever go or your just want somewhere different to eat then go here .., you won’t be disappointed.

let’s talk about breakfast !

Now i’m a person, who in the week, just has cereal. In fact, until recently, I didn’t care too much for breakfast at all . It’s a bit S**t, let’s face it . So, when I went into Heron and saw the fake Salmon( I do eat real salmon lol ) then I had to give it a try . I choose a bagel with cheese spread and topped it with the fake salmon. I can honestly say that I wasn’t expecting great things !

How wrong could I be ?

Well the answer is very wrong !

The salmon smells, tastes and I would say even looks like it ! I’d say that this would be a very good substitute for fish for people .

Luckily I can eat the real thing !

Peace out

Well Sundays off can only mean one thing and that is its the turn of my Bird to cook for me 😂.

With my shifts at work I only get 1 weekend off in two and on my weekends off, every other Sunday, Amanda makes my tea . She makes some of the best food I have ever tasted and tonight’s meal was no exception.

So firstly I want to say … i’m not a big fan of Salmon as it’s very pungent and I am also not a big fan of rice and this dish has both !

As we are both foodies, we don’t talk much during the meal other than about the food itself … tonight I just ate … no conversations and the occasional nod of approval !

Tonight i’m a happy happy man !
