I had several magnum ice creams for dinner, washed down with a large tub of natural yogurt, two yops and some cream cheese...

That's a lot of dairy

I tend not to feel much like eating in very hot weather - but fruit of any kind, as fresh as possible, tends to go down well.

One summer in New York I consumed at least 1 watermelon a day.

Around my house

Stuffed green olives.

Potato salad with scallions. Use the white part of the scallion too.

Waldorf salad. Apples, nuts, walnuts, grapes.

Sorry - we're out of Waldorfs.

Pork pies and scotch eggs too. Great for days like these.

You can't beat some tsatsiki on hot day. Simple recipe with your cucumbers, yogurt, olive oil, s&p but I like lots of garlic and mint in it and chilled in the fridge as long as possible. Chilled to FUCK. Most recipes go for a fairly thick consistency, but I think it works better if it's of a slightly thinner one. Great with pita, naan bread or for dipping chopped veggies into. Yum.

I made a fennel one once too with lemon juice which wasn't bad either.

God yeah, tzatsiki with some crispy vegetable crudities- a veritable coolfest.

I know it's not cool, or cooling- but how summery is fresh corn on the cob with melty butter.

Story: once I was at a surf'n'turf in America and I was sitting in between a bunch of lobster eaters, innocently tucking into my heavenly fresh New England corn on the cob lathered in butter. So I hear the gentle crack of someone breaking open their near me and next thing you know I'm covered in lobster gack. LOBSTER GACK. On my head! One of the grossest food experiences ever.

Oh yeah, especially barbequed in front of your eyes on a beach in Thailand .|..|

Sybil: If you'd just look.
Basil: I have looked. There's no celery, there's no grapes, ... walnuts! That's a laugh, easier to find a packet of sliced hippopotamus in suitcase sauce than a walnut in this bloody kitchen.
Sybil: Now, we've got apples.
Basil: Oh, terrific! Let's celebrate! We'll have an apple party: Everybody brings his own apple and stuffs it down somebody's throat.

Yes, and not 'barbecued' over a dustbin outside the metro station in a dodgy Paris suburb.... Someone will know what I'm talking about....

"Maïs, Maïs, Maïs" and the clanging of metal upon metal will echo in my nightmares forevermore.

It's pretty much identical to regular quinoa except the colour, and maybe a little tougher (great for salads). I got it in the health food shop opposite Dunnes on Georges Street (which get's the Me Award for Total Winner of a Shop for stocking Linda Mc's sausage rolls).

 

[dowel]

That's Colin Farrells Daddios shop don't ya know! - fck apostrophies(?)
Must sample that so -Thanks Wormo.

my own personal favourite recipe is

rocket with fresh figs, goats cheese, cherry tomatoes and a honey and mustard dressing. Although I havent been able to get fresh figs for years.
