We've eaten well in Aberdyfi this past few days. The main news is that Derek's Plaice, the fish shop, is now Gill's Place. Gill took over officially at the start of the month and a new name board is proudly in place above the shop.
The other mention I must make is the lovely Thomas Butchers & Delicatessen in Tywyn. Having sampled their range extensively during the summer, I was pleased to see that they've extended it still further. The Welsh eggs are a particular treat on the delicatessen side and the bacon and 30 day hung fillet steak very special from the meat end of the counter.
If you're ever in the area I hope you'll visit both!
A 'muddler' is a wooden pestle used to blend and mix ingredients for cocktails and drinks. The name may derive from the medieval culinary term 'medel' or 'medle' which means to mix or meld together. So whether I'm muddling along or meddling in things I'll be keeping track of the food, drink, ingredients, people and producers that I come across along the way.
