ponced up monday night cooking thread

[JohnnyNeptune]

last night i did a lovely roast pigeon breast with a red wine jus

2 for £2 in the butchers - HFW would be most upset.

[Fenton]

Sith, can you get battery pigeons?

last night we had beef stew*, leftover from sunday

stews/casseroles ALWAYS taste nicer the next day

* £3.50 for the organic Aberdeen Angus beef shin

[turtle]

I had leftover roast Sainbury's not-free-range chicken.
£6.80 ish.
4 people 3 nights tea.
Hugh can do the maths.

[e17hoop]

*edit

Pork chop with chocolate and juniper sauce should have won.

[winger]

We had Soup a l'Oignon with large gruyere croutons. Total food cost: 55p.

I may be loaded but that's only because I'm thrifty.

[e17hoop]

Sainsbury's had their basics range of curry sauce on sale for 4p t'other day. Get in there winger.

..as evidenced by you snapping up that DFS "two for one" offer.

Happy New Year!

[CaptainSambuca]

and for a couple of quid more you could have fed 4 people for 3 nights on something that hadn't spent it's entire life in a japanese prisoner of war camp

[MikR]

Primula on white weightwatcher toast, as recommended by famed AWAG gourmand Michelotti.

[winger]

Bernie has Anorexia Nervsofa.

[turtle]

IT'S A CHICKEN!!!!1111 IT WAS CREATED TO BE EATEN.
FOR GOD'S SAKE MAN GET A GRIP.

[CaptainSambuca]

I'm not the one who turned veggie when he found out the lickle piggy wiggys get their little throaty whoats cut

[njkk]

I had Marmite on Warburtons toast.

It was most pleasant

[winger]

Will we see you with a packed lunchbox over at Ipswich Park Njkk?

[turtle]

In my defence, I was 17 and I realised my stupidity once I left home and had to feed myself.

You middle-class country dwellers can eat what the devil you want but taking away cheap processed food from the masses is taking it a step too far.

[njkk]

Frayed Knot old bean, It miles away and I'm not awash with cash at present, hoped to make it for the Naaarch game but some twat has put it on a Tuesday

[brispie]

I think that the masses lost their taste buds generations go.

The good news I found mine when I stopped buying chemically pumped up chicken and went for the free rangers.

[nsn]

oi Fenners, we tried the butchers in Fordingbridge and it is not only ace quality but cheap and he says he'll do us some beef shins as per your recommendation so can you chuck me you recipe when you get a sec so I can make it next week?

[GlasgowTangerine]

I made Chicken Stir Fry

[belly77]

I wish they'd put the art boy through instead of Mr play it safe Barrister.

[winger]

Is that Wilbur in Belly's avatar?

[ab]

Beef and Guinness Stew. Sainsbury's beef from out of the freezer. Cooked on a Heston heat all afternoon.

Re difference in taste between ethical and supermarket meat, I recall Rick Stein doing blind taste tests on a variety of meats on his Food Heroes programme and more often than not choosing the supermarket meat rather than the lovingly reared organic.

I want the government to remove the cap on student fee rates so that fewer students end up going to university so that my area can be repopulated by the yogurt knitting types that used to proliferate and supported a brilliant traditional (had game hanging in the shop, smelt like the Covered Market in Oxford) butcher who went to trade sales only and had his shop taken over by yet another bloody charity shop (albeit that it was at least the very ace Oxfam book shop - although I'd much rather they'd just taken over somewhere shoddy like the PDSA "do you want a bag with that dear" shop).

[brispie]

Rick Stein is an idiot.

[belly77]

I like Rick Stein, I reckon he's a secret gayer though.

[michelotti]

Rick Stein is ace!

The only one he got seriously wrong was the chicken, and he was the only one in the room that did! everybody else went for the free range.

Last night I had pan fried breast of wild mallard with a brandy orange sauce.

[njkk]

Askey's in Burslem was ace, they had allsorts of dead things with their fur still on hanging up, my mate told me his mum used get an ostrich for xmas dinner from there

[brispie]

I reckon my view of him might be coloured by mrs bris's family who swear that he's ruined the Padstow and the surrounding area.

[fgrfc_dan]

I don't think that would help you, AB. Headingley seems to be largely full of the student types who are entirely bankrolled by Mummy and Daddy. Remove the cap and you'll only price the normal students out of the market; the annoying, cuntish, far-more-of-daddy's-money-than-sense fuckwits will remain and indeed proliferate. And nobody wants that.

Besides which, aren't you supposed to be moving?
