I laughed at the eggplant comment - my husband is exactly the same. I suggest something with eggplant and he'll say "I don't know how I feel about that, darlin.' Then afterwards he'll say, 'I don't like eggplant, but that was good.'

Same! Even when I remind him he likes it every time

I’m going to make that eggplant dish tonight! I think I’ll substitute panko for brioche breadcrumbs though, or would plain breadcrumbs work better? I so rarely use breadcrumbs - can you tell? Also am about to google the chillies as well. I’m pretty sure it’ll be good whatever I run with!

Absolutely you can use any crumb that you have, I can’t imagine that it will make any difference. We just so happened to have one old brioche bun lying around from a previous burger meal otherwise I would have used panko.

Are you going to go to the custard tart place that Phil went to on Somebody Feed Phil? That custard place is the #1 reason I want to travel to Portugal :)

Duh, of course I am! I am going to slavishly follow in Phil’s footsteps all the while carrying my new favourite book with me 😉
