i do applaud you for looking things up 😉 they are citrus, just create your own new variation and use lemon instead lol > **[Kaffir lime](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaffir_lime)** > > Citrus hystrix, called the kaffir lime, makrut lime (US: /ˈmækrət/, UK: /məkˈruːt/), Thai lime or Mauritius papeda, is a citrus fruit native to tropical Southeast Asia and southern China. > Its fruit and leaves are used in Southeast Asian cuisine and its essential oil is used in perfumery.

> [@thinkingaboutit](#): > > the fruit’s juice is often used in shampoo and is believed to kill head lice” Indian plantation laborers used it to keep off land leaches and that’s good to know. Let’s hope the government doesn’t declare it a weed. ---

Tonight’s offering: Gado Gado. Lots of steamed veggies (spinach, broccoli, asparagus, potato, bean sprouts), cucumber, boiled egg, crispy tempeh - served with peanut sauce. Edit: It’s not a particularly pretty dish, however it is clean, fresh and very tasty. ![20210612_212202](https://bbad.com/uploads/default/original/2X/3/309328c67cdd075a2a169bda01d57d880a91f811.jpeg) ---

Not as appetizing as the last post but I’m sure it’s healthy. What’s in that nasty looking brown peanut sauce? ---

Nasty was an observation and bland was the assumption I made from your one word feedback. I’m sorry if I offended you. I’m sure it’s very good and you make it sound really simple. ---

I know we eat with our eyes, but some foods just aren’t attractive and it’s difficult to make them look appetising. Not all meals are a success so you’ll be getting the good, the bad and the ugly - real meals - with my pics. I can only attest to them being palatable, as they’re always swiftly devoured by my hungry boys, and [usually] always followed by positive feedback And come on you lot - we all have to eat. Post a couple of pics of your meals you lousy buggers. At least Mark is/was making an effort! **Lentil, pinenut and roasted eggplant salad** Served with rocket, cherry tomatoes and Persian feta, then drizzled with a lemon, garlic and mustard dressing. It was pretty simple, delicious and satisfying. Despite being winter, I could eat salad 365/365 or 366/366, as the case may be. ![20210613_220711](https://bbad.com/uploads/default/original/2X/7/7e6bae3dcc660aea12766ca64857927b4f5226f8.jpeg) ![20210613_220639](https://bbad.com/uploads/default/original/2X/e/e152949bb90d02feef526929d1e9ed1a6ae56970.jpeg) ---

> [@Kim](#): > > And come on you lot - we all have to eat. Post a couple of pics of your meals you lousy buggers. At least Mark is/was making an effort! I posted a few pics but my meals are really boring. Veggies and more veggies. No rice, bread, pasta or potatoes. I don’t think they’d be healthy for a non-diabetic. Your meals look much nicer. > [@Health](https://bbad.com/t/health/936/915): > > Lunch today. I can’t remember when I last ate meat or fish.
