I say 'were' because they are all gone now... with the obvious knock-on effects for sea birds, fish populations, etc.

You do know what you are talking about. We banned farmed fish pens here after one of them was ripped open due to lack of proper maintenance and a quarter million Atlantic salmon escaped into the open sea. A real disaster for wild salmon and a big reason why I hate the farm raised stuff.

It tasted as it looked.

Apparently im still in charge of cooking all things farang to please ha sip ha sip shark biscuits , so today i wanted to do something with 500g mince to use it up. Google wasnt my friend in this case.

Spag Bol, Cottage pie, mince and tatties, stuffed marrow

It recommended porcupine meatballs cooked in tomato soup, recipe seemed easy enough.
2 cans campbells condensed Tomato soup ,finely grated onion, herbs and spices mix it all together in a bowl turn it into meatballs simmer in the tomato soup.

The result was. Oldest son ate it. Youngest son said fuck of im not eating that. ( probably wants a fuckin lobster?) Im gonna have a few more award winners and eat the rejects . Waste not wont not. Kids, fussy coonts

The meatballs were a good option, but better served with spaghetti, or even in a sub (more lunch-ish than dinner-ish). Tomato soup meatballs and rice, less so.

You know Joe, you could help your cause by posting better quality, proper size pics.

Dinners....just not yet. Stopped by the butcher at Chitlom



6.6kg Slab of Ribeyes. Can save a nice chunk of change buying it in bulk.



Butcher offered to slice and seal them for me which was nice. I usually do this at home.



14 or so steaks.

Been meaning to do up a batch of meatballs for the deep freeze.

Give it go when you've an hour or so free BLD. Then for dinner just do up some spaghetti and a pasta sauce.

Or as mentioned, a sub for lunch with a ragu sauce and mozzarella. Easy as.

I count 15 and an off cut

Works out at around 440g per 1-inch cut steak. Perfect size.

Can't be bothered to look at Tops website. Do you mind if I ask how much?
