What's for dinner?

[Readie]

This man is an inspiration.
I'm not sure if you can get BBCi player in the USA but, if you can its worth a look.
BBC Two - Tom Kerridge's Proper Pub Food
Tonight?
Slow roasted pork.

 

[Readie]

Today I made 'farter's delight'

Cauliflower cheese with onions, garlic, strong cheddar, roast potatoes and a dash of Tabasco.

Very nice with proper pork sausages

What am I eating?

Hamburger Helper...

I hate cooking for one!

I know that feeling. Your gonna have leftovers too. I always default to a sandwich or a hotdog. That way you don't have to eat your meal for one for multiple meals. That's the part that sucks.

"...proper pork sausages ..."

You're a Victorian at heart, Readie, I prefer the less proper pork sausages

A proper pork sausage is a joy Michael

Sausages for home delivery in Kent - J.C. Rook Sons, Butchers

Lincolnshire, with sage, plain... I don't mind. Just as long as its not full of crap.
I do like Victorian style lemonade but, not arsenic wallpaper

Now...where IS my stove hat gone?

 

[michaelmaltby]

Looking through Mr. Rook Sons' Kentish catalogue I am once again struck by how expensive food is in the UK and Nether Regions aka Europe.
But good looking sausages .....

To be fair, Rooks is top end and the meat is first class. For special occasions its worth the costs to me but, most people wouldn't bother / cannot justify the costs for a family and just get supermarket food.
Food, clothes, gas/electric, petrol/diesel, taxes, cars...you name it everything all costs plenty.... welcome to rip off Britain.

 

[Matt308]

Actually, I was thinking that it was a rather fair bargain! Those prices include free delivery to your door for about $5+/lb. Not bad.

 

[Readie]

Free delivery in Kent only Matt. I have to pay courier fees as Plymouth is 250 miles from Kent.
The saveloys are amazing.

 

[yulzari]

Ah saveloys. We used to call them donkey dicks when I was a teenager in London.

 

[Matt308]

Fine, ****ing ruin it then.

Britain?????? Here they tax, tax! They cal it GST, Goods and SERVICES Tax. So if I have a plumber unclog a toilet, the labor is taxed! Telephone bills are taxed, GST is on Top of gas tax! There's a f'n reason why the Yanks gave the Britts the boot way back when! It's a colonial state of mind mate. Need more money, let's bloody well tax something, even if it's taxed already.

 

[Readie]

Pitt's income tax raised money to fight Napoleon and we have been taxed on everything from windows to corn.
If you ask any Brit whether the holy grails of the NHS,foreign aid, education, armed forces, Police and the concept of a just welfare system were worth paying for the answer would be a resounding 'yes'.

 

[Matt308]

Ahhhh, so you can tax yourself in to prosperity.

 

[Readie]

Prosperity should mean more for everyone not just the elite few..
then he woke up yeah right....

 

[meatloaf109]

Fried eggs, Fried potatoes, Fried bacon. And toast.
To soak up the grease.

 

[Matt308]

Hah! I grew up in the south and we fried our eggs in the hot bacon grease. I thought that was redneck enough, until I met a Canadian buddy who said, "...that's nothing. We then fried our toast in the bacon grease after the eggs were done."

I sure miss him.

[True story, except for the death implication part]

 

[michaelmaltby]

That's very Canadian .... though I fry eggs in butter in a separate frying pan, and serve the eggs on the "gyppo-toast" with bacon on the side and maybe tinned beans (Boston style for example).

 

[rochie]

slow cooked belly pork, Kale, pigs cheek, crackling and apple dauphinoise

guinea fowl breast, baby spinach, confit potato and butternut squash puree

 

[michaelmaltby]

How's that pork belly working out for you ...? Did you cure it?
