..is it more than just a snack?
Wow, Xythe posted a recipe for Italian sausages, peppers and potatoes and my taste buds went jumping. That meal would make a fine midnight snack, warmed over and perhaps filled into a baguette.
My favourite midnighter is a cheese, ham and pickle baguette and I might also add some "biltong" , South African dried beef, venison or ostrich. It is very dry and hard but full of spices and it can be fried in oil to give it more tenderness and a richer flavour. Australians and Americans have jerkie but it is not the same.
Another great late night spoiler is shredded leftover KFC fried in oil for a minute or two with melted cheese then enjoyed on a bun with lettuce, tomato and grainy herb mustard.
Yeah, I know why I'm overweight.
