the lunch thread (cont.)

[Wilfrid]

I had the second half of a patty from the One Stop Patty Shop because I am not allowed a whole patty after getting back from an hour or more dying in the humidity at Pride.

We had our July 4th celebration meal at lunch. Tortilla soup; Hebrew National franks topped with mustard and sour kraut; Busch's baked beans; homemade cole slaw.

Puntarelle salad with a poached egg, which I thought would be a good idea. It was a medium good idea.

I think puntarelle benefits from less creaminess with it; but who had puntarelle?

Norwich Meadows.

Was it grown correctly? Every time I've seen it in NYC it's more of a green than anything I else.

Looking at the picture it looks like no.

It had a lot of stem (I pitched the leaves, because they were too bitter, even after blanching). But I don't know the difference between "correct" and "incorrect" puntarelle. It's on the right side.

Willow Wisp has roughly correct puntarelle.

Dark rye toast topped with more of that ricotta, homegrown small tomatoes, and a little truffle salt.

Triple play salad lunch. Chicken salad, egg salad, tuna salad. Pickle spear, greenmarket tomato, Wasa rye crisps.

I love those rye crisps. I haven't had them in a while. May have to buy some.

My parents always had them in the house for when they entertained - was the brand Finn? They go very well with the smoked oysters I would hoover up whenever my sister and I were left to fend for ourselves.
