I've been eating it for years. Just pay for it to be prepared with good fishm, otherwise don't have it. Only time I ever got properly ill in a gastrointestinal sense, it was while I was a veggie for 6 months in India. Mind you, I don't think it was the food.

Para mi ahora es pollo breast parcelled with sweet pepper, blue cheese, herbs and oven baked with patatas bravas. No pics as I eat not insta.
Must confess, never had sushi.
its lush - delush and frwsh and full if protein gains.
after 'scratchings, its the king of foods. or should we say the emperor.
I think mercury is maybe a bigger risk with sushi.

I quite like the ration pack soups and energy bars but some of it should be classed as quite dangerous for human consumption.MattFalle said:

Bizarrely, its about £7 a for each meal in the shops but i am at a loss to it because its pretty vile. Into the Widerness or something like that sell it.
but yup, agree with you re soups - that noodle is nice.
They are now doing packets of cola bottles in there and they rock..The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

Finally remembered the large bag in the freezer of the carefully selected good sized excess crop raspberries. Mmm mmm mmm. Simple serve with natural yoghurt. 👍 for March in the cold dUK.0

Had wood fired pizza from a hut outside Priory Farm shop in South Nutfield and ate it in the car with wife and kids overlooking a park.
That's a present day, lockdown outing.0 -
The lamb before cooking. Left at room temp for 2 hours. 2.3 kg short leg. 30 mins at 220c, 30 mins at 165c. Got it to 61 degrees at the bone. 45 min rest brought it to perfectly medium. All cooking guidelines would have ruined it, extra 30 mins at least. A thermapen is a worthwhile investment.
If you're within M25, HG Walter butchers, next day delivery. No connection.

So much left for shepherd's pie. Bulked out with some puy lentils, there's another 2 meals for 4.0

Mmm. Looks good. Continuing the lamb theme, but this time a one pot minced lamb, peppers, the onion garlic ginger chilli std base, tomato, sweet potato, ras el hanout, lime, turmeric etc etc, served combined with red lentil fusilli and wild rocket dressing.
Getting a thing for that red lentil pasta equivalent. Is off the gluten free shelf, not a prob for me, but actually liking its texture.0 -

I looked it up:
"Commonly used ingredients include cardamom, cumin, clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, mace, allspice, dry ginger, chili peppers, coriander seed, peppercorn, sweet and hot paprika, fenugreek, and dry turmeric."
The only thing I don't have is Mace.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -

Shep pie. With leftover roast potato topping. Probably sideways. Or upside down. Bit left V68, but the bastards will probably fight you for it.

No beans. I just did leftover lamb chopped up with lots of onion, carrot, garlic, rosemary, leftover gravy, spot of wine, bit of stock. I was going to pad out with lentils, but couldn't quite be arsed.0

Can you not clean up the edge of the Gratin dish before putting it in the oven, you heathen?seanoconn - gruagach craic!0

Whilst Hoppy is scrubbing his oven dish - and there's no way the dishwasher will sort that...
No it's not the contents of Seano's long drop and it ain't made from Bisto.
This is additive free, Palm oil free, Hazelnut chocolate spread.
I accept that Palm oil is less ecologically damaging than alternatives and I also except that it's in my toothpaste and some soaps (which I regard as essential) but for an indulgence like this, why have Palm oil?
This is home made Hazelnut chocolate spread. I was left with the Dichotomy that the girls love their Nutella but don't like the idea of it containing Palm oil. Given that the local supermarkets - Lidl, Morrissons or Tesco had any of their (online advertised) Palm oil free chocolate spread.
If you're interested, it's quite easy.
Double the following as I halved everything as it was experimental:
30g runny Honey
125g Dark chocolate
50mls Double cream
40g blitzed, roasted Hazelnuts
50g butter.
Break up the chocolate in a Bain Marie. Let it melt, add the butter and the honey.
Slowly add the cream and whisk. You may not need all of it. I used 85% dark chocolate but I dare say 70% stuff may not need as much cream.
If it gets stodgy, add a drop of boiling water until it whisks (thick) but smooth.
When you are content with the texture, add the Hazelnuts.
I just wonder, for a grown up version, I could add some Amoretti Liquor... Or even Cointreau?

That's where all the sauce bubbled up through the potato during cooking. Mrs H³ had to eat at 6:45, so I had to turn up the oven more than I normally would to get hers ready.pinno said:Can you not clean up the edge of the Gratin dish before putting it in the oven, you heathen?
