Either half the fans have gone home or they're getting ripped off by Wembley's scandalous prices for food and drink. Serves them right for paying it. #prawnsandwichbrigade #ManCity #Arsenal
Four sausage rolls (meat in a pastry case), in a blue lunch box, with the playing surface of a football stadium in the background.
I reckon the #PrawnSandwichBrigade breaking out the sausage rolls, was must have turned it. #MVCvCCM
Spinning up some Burning Spear, while prepping home made burgers for #MelbDerby. Which the #PrawnSandwichBrigade will enjoy from the comfort of our couch. Neat vermouth on ice, is the retro drink getting us through before kick-off. #MCYvMVC

A katsu sando, with stadium seating and the playing surface out of focus in the background.
Second half and after 18:00 - time for #PrawnSandwichBrigade to break out the katsu sando (γγ€ γ΅γ³γ). #MVCvBRI
Painted mural of a Rosella tomato sauce bottle and happy consumers.
Katsu sando wrapped in cling film, a container of cherries and a bag of crisps.
No trains on our line this weekend, so drove to Cremorne and took a nice stroll to AAMI Park. #PrawnSandwichBrigade seated and ready for kick-off. #MVCvBRI
Early k/o for #MVCvBRI today (17:00) so assembling #PrawnSandwichBrigade fare for half time. Plan today is katsu sando, crisps, chilled water and fresh Tasmanian cherries. Using the excellent choripan from Akimbo for the γ΅γ³γγ€γγγ But time to get cracking on the katsu!
A white dinner plate with tabbouleh, green beans, couscous, and chicken pieces in sauce. Next to the plate is a yellow can with black and white text and imagery.
About to resume after the lightning delay - for 5 more minutes. During the delay #PrawnSandwichBrigade have enjoyed Persian walnut chicken, with locally themed #CraftBeer from #3Ravens. #CCMvMVC
This evening is an away match for #MVFC so #PrawnSandwichBrigade are dining in house. In a rare occurrence, I'm mostly off the hook for kitchen duties: prepping cous cous, and green beans with feta. And chilling down 3Ravens #CraftBeer to keep it local (superior to stadium beers). #CCMvMVC
Pyrotechnics deployed at a football stadium.
Very smooth train trip to arrive at AAMI Park with time for a pre-match stadium beer. Then to take a seat in the sun for a citizenship ceremony and the match preliminaries. Can bust out the #PrawnSandwichBrigade bahn mi at half time. No pyro, no party! #MVCvSYD
Started the public holiday with a long walk along the Darebin creek through Thornbury. Attended to some laundry and had breakfast. Need to make a quick pickle of carrot and daikon, to add to the #PrawnSandwichBrigade bahn mi for #MVCvSYD... but first, ζ₯ζ¬θͺ practice.
A large stand of Vietnamese mint growing in a grey concrete trough.
We are generously provisioned with Vietnamese mint, so bahn mi will be the #PrawnSandwichBrigade go-to for the #BigBlue on Monday evening. Need to make up a batch of char hsiu marinade today in readiness. #MVCvSYD
A plastic container of salad topped with sliced tuna. A football stadium interior is out of focus in the background.
Second half under way so it's time for the #PrawnSandwichBrigade to break out the soba nole and edamame salad with seared tuna. #MVCvWSW
Early kick-off today and we've made it with time to spare for enjoying a pre-match stadium beer. The #PrawnSandwichBrigade soba noodle salad can wait until the second half. #MVCvWSW
A burger, a glass of beer and a bowl of tabouleh.
#PrawnSandwichBrigade indulging in pre-match snacks. Good (not over) sized burger on nicely textured potato buns; absolutely killer tabbouleh. And washed down with a cold pacific ale. #MVCvPER
Time for the #PrawnSandwichBrigade to get a train to AAMI Park for El Jannah and stadium beers. #MVCvPER
Managed a walk, a session at the gym and completing my quarterly tax filing. While still taking things at a relaxed pace. Tomorrow is a market shop: and minimal preparation for #MVCvPER, as #PrawnSandwichBrigade will dine on El Jannah at the stadium. #FreelanceLife
The addition of an El Jannah outlet has significantly improved the food offerings at AAMI Park. We are #PrawnSandwichBrigade equipped already today, but pre-match hot chicken, chips and salad are being planned for another day. #MVCvWEL
Six triangular parcels of pastry filled with mushrooms, spinach and blue cheese. Cooling on backing racks.
Eight muffin sized feijoa cakes, with white icing, wrapped in baking paper.
Cooling and ready for packing into the stadium bag, for #ALeagueGF this evening. Other members of the #PrawnSandwichBrigade are bringing some healthy snacks (carrots, celery, etc) and water. #MCYvMVC
As my own football match has a 1:00pm kick-off I've spent the morning making a batch of spinach, cheese and mushroom hand pies. Full complement of #PrawnSandwichBrigade attending the #ALeagueGF this evening, so it's a loaves and fishes situation. @onetui.bsky.social is also making feijoa cakes.
Three rectangular plastic containers packed with snacks: bacon and egg pies, Lebanese cucumbers topped with sesame seeds and slices of quince cake.
Boxed up the #PrawnSandwichBrigade fare for #MVCvAKL this evening. Bacon and egg hand pies, quince cake, celery sticks and cucumber (also water). Hoping AAMI park is a fortress for #MVFC tonight.
As #MVFC are playing away, viewing will be the couch in front of the telly. #PrawnSandwichBrigade preparations have already been made for a beef, blackbean and chili with steamed rice and asian greens. Classic 15 minute easy cooking (not including 30 min prep).
Mulch topped up on a couple of garden beds and the tomato plants removed from the wicking beds. Citrus feeding and bed replenishment tomorrow. Now for #PrawnSandwichBrigade duties in readiness for #MVCvAKL in a couple of hours...
Early k/o for #WELvMVC as it's an early evening start over in NZ. Veg burgers planned for #PrawnSandwichBrigade home viewing post-match dining. Have field mushroom caps marinating in fresh thyme, oregano and garlic. Need to consider half time snacks though...
Two chicken and salad Turkish rolls, cut into two, on a wooden board.
Miscellaneous snacks ready to be bagged for travel. Snacks are: two filled rolls, handmade biscuits, a plastic box of sugar plums, a packet of crisps.
The #PrawnSandwichBrigade is packed up with supplies and at the ground with enough time to relax with a chilled, soapy stadium beer. Plenty of pride on show for this #PrideCup round with the women setting the benchmark 2-1 win in the opener. Now for the men to show the Reds what's what. #MVCvADL
Considered Δevapi in rolls for the #PrawnSandwichBrigade, but sadly VelimiroviΔ smallgoods has closed down. Going with Mediterranean style marinated chicken instead: lemon, oregano and enough garlic to kill by proximity. Hoping #MVFC can do the business this evening. #MVCvADL
A katsu sando, cut in half and stacked ready to wrap in cling film. The sandwich comprises a fried crumbed chicken cutlet and cabbage pickle, between two slices of milk bread.
Katsu sando (γγ€ γ΅γ³γ) ready to be wrapped for #MVCvCCM this evening. Taking crisps, chilled water and chilled grapes in the stadium bag as well. Also a couple of well cooled ales to enjoy in Yarra Park pre-game, so we don't have to drink "stadium strength" dishwater. #PrawnSandwichBrigade
A plastic squeeze bottle of Kewpie brand mayonnaise, in a red and white branded cellophane bag.
There will be no katsu sando, without Kewpie. #PrawnSandwichBrigade
Various food focused plans for the long weekend. Going to have a second go at salted liquorice ice cream, to fine tune the recipe. Also planning on katsu sando (γγ€ γ΅γ³γ) for the #PrawnSandwichBrigade to take to #MVCvCCM tomorrow evening. Will use fresh shokupan from Akimbo bakery, in Northcote...
A glass beer stein with water and a large bunch of fresh herbs in it: mint, Vietnamese mint, Thai holy basil. The stein is resting on a granite benchtop.
Close up of a European bee in a radish flower, with Thai basil flowers in the background.
The Asian style slaw for #PrawnSandwichBrigade to take to #MelbDerby tonight uses a lot of herbs. Have gathered them in before the outdoors heats up too much. Also watered outdoor tubs not on irrigation and topped up the #FoodCube wicking beds. Lots of pollinators busy, both native and European.
