Was it not security tagged?

Everything above £3 in Aldi is tagged now

After my salmon, pea and sprout fishcakes were so well received I thought I'd post up another dinner.

Sausages and mash... and yes, I let myself down a bit on the Ya Dong front last night.



The daughter's been having a couple of minor issues at school lately so I've re-introduced eating up at the (newly refurbished mahogany) dining table for dinner so we can discuss the day's events. This had slipped, and it's working well again.

With plenty of veg. We've had peas and spouts every day since I arrived home, but not in breakfast fruit smoothies.

Will I send up some Bisto to umm, thicken yer gravy?


No need for innuendos, looking at you Dill.

Excellent portion sizes...

I realised in the end that I dint have quite enough salmon for a fishcake, so knocked up what I can only imagine would be Stumpy and Snubbys first post coital repast



I feel like one of those gentlemen gourmands that Hal frowns upon at Old Trafford

Some time back i bought a load of game meat. Tonight, overnight 1kg of partridge, pheasant, rabbit, grouse and venison game mix paired with celery, carrot, button mushroom, 3/4 bottle of decent Bordeaux, stock, herbs, pepper, a splash of Worcester, a bit of English mustard and pimenton. 6 hours in the slowcooker.

The game defrosted with i suspect a couple of lead shot in there somewhere. Up until my teens it was a regular meal in season.

Why the mix? I surely would have separated the deer out.

^ why?

From my experience, venison is something to be enjoyed on it's own, not mixed in with a bunch of hi-so chicken meat and rodents.

the venison will be carcass trim, after the animal has been jointed.

The portion sizes of the mashed potatoes are ridiculously small, if not criminal.

Don't troll the dinner thread and your hatred of mashed potatoes is a sin

Salmon and cucumber sandwiches you posh bastard!!

The Queen Mother's favourite!

Man Utd ,yeah I can see the connection now.

Only difference is Hal would have opted for the curried king prawn pie.

Fvvking heathens the lot of you!!

While I too really like mashed taters, they have to be homemade and not from some box where you add water or milk on a stove. Same with Gravy. Can't be some packaged junk loaded with sodium.

Fvcking he'll you've reminded me of a smash advert...

I don't believe what's happening.

Inspired by his Isaan Egg Royale, I'm copying Mendo for this morning's breakie.

And with a tin of toona in the fridge, and a spud growing in the back of some cupboard, I'm gonna be copying him for fookin' lunch as well.

At this point you can add extras such as leftover mashed up peas, sprouts and carrots (yes Stumpy, that is where the green colour came from). Season to taste and then divide into balls and roll in breadcrumbs.

Leave the breadcrumbs as large, or put in the grinder and make them fine like panko?

^ Always leave them large, are you mad?

Top tip: Leave a little bit of the egg spare to roll the fishcakes in at the end. This helps the breadcrumbs stick.

How many attempts did it take until you decided it was easier to put the salmon slice on top?

Why don't we just have an "Inspired by Mendip" thread?

There's a lot of scope, he's a great and variety poster.

An oldy, bacon topped meatloaf with sides of mash, gravy, and sweet corn kernels. Lots of sandwiches as well.

^^ Many thanks for the appreciation, Betty.

I've never really considered myself as a culinary trailblazer before. I'm completely self-taught and lack some confidence in the kitchen.
