There is a reason why you rarely see me eating at a pub. Have you ever seen the menu?

Exciting news! Actually I prefer not to make any promises but soon I’ll start working on a new design for Greedy Gourmet which I think is going to look a lot spiffier and sexier than ever. One of the new features I’m looking at is for you to be able to save/print a recipe. If you guys have any other suggestions on how to improve the site, please let me know!
Brie & Grape Tortilla Wraps
Thursday, 16 July 2009 By 6 Comments
English doesn’t seem to be the only language which contains words with multiple meanings. Take “tortilla” in Spanish for example. Tortilla can mean the unleavened flatbreads made out of corn or wheat which originated in Mexico, or a Spanish omelette. “Torta” means cake or tart and “illa” is the dimunitive, i.e. it means little cake. We’ve all heard about fusion cuisine but what about “fusion language”? Wouldn’t it be funky to call this posh sandwich a “wrapilla”? Hmmm, contradictorily it sounds like something a big reptile from a famous action movie would eat…
Cajun Turkey & Mango Tortilla Wraps

Lately I’ve been very lazy in the kitchen. For months on end I have been planning the week’s meals with militant precision and quite simply grew tired of it. All spontaneity has flown out of the window and I got seriously bored and not that excited about mealtimes. That’s it, I said, things are going to change!
Asian BBQ Chicken Tortilla Wraps

Doesn’t it confuse you when something that tastes delicious is actually healthy too? Take this wrap for example. If my stomach had the capacity I would have eight of these in one sitting, Homer Simpson-style. Instead I have to settle for two a day, for breakfast and lunch.
Chicken, Brie & Pear Sandwich with Balsamic Onions

You won’t find this magnificent sandwich in any shop or eatery. As I was preparing my sarnie I was questioning whether it didn’t have too many ingredients. Why not just chicken and pear or Brie with balsamic onions? One bite later and all doubts flew out of the window. Best. Chicken. Sandwich. Ever.
Bacon, Lettuce & Tomato Sandwich a.k.a. BLT Sandwich

We all know how to make a simple BLT Sandwich. Slices of bread, a few rashers of bacon, some salad leaves and we’re good to go. However, if you want to make it a bit more special then I urge you to try Ed Baines’ version from his latest book, The Best of British.
Chicken, Sweet Corn & Mayonnaise Sandwich

Ladies and gentlemen, may I present you another classic British sandwich you will find on just about every shop’s shelf on this small isle. It took me ages to get around to trying one, since the idea of eating cold sweet corn didn’t appeal to me in the least. Starving after hours on the road Neil grabbed a sandwich at a rest stop and I grudgingly shared it with him. What a surprise it was indeed and after that I’ve been preparing my own at home which tastes all the better.
Pastrami & Cream Cheese Sandwich

Everyone is ticked off about the rising oil prices with its many implications. One of them is the increase in food costs. Yet strangely food is being wasted more than ever before. In the UK alone almost 7 million tonnes of food, worth approximately £10 billion, is being thrown in the bin. Why exactly does it happen?
