I think it was a Leithethter rojo.

 

I made chips, cheese and curry sauce/gravy for tea tonight. Sublime. Best meal of the year.

Currently enjoying some slow cooked tatties and beef that cooked overnight. I definitely prefer cheaper cuts cooked for longer than more expensive cuts cooked quickly.

Cheaper cuts of tatties?

When it comes to tatties only Russets will do. They can withstand 12 hours in a slow cooker and retain their texture and shape. Others will turn to mush. 

Homemade fish pie , haddock, salmon , mashed tatties, topped with cheddar  in oven for 35 min

Funcy fork.  Hope you caught the fish yourself? I've only ever managed 1 decent dish and it was fish pie with fresh cod and ling that I had caught on the boat out from macduff.  Fit fine it was 

Tonight , pork loin , (pork fillet) apple , cinnamon , cover in honey. & onion, Slow cook in oven for 5 hr,s 120 fan oven

Keep it simple cheese mash and peas n carrots      Oh and a couple of glasses of Pinot

 

 

 

Slow cooking a loin is controversial. How did it turn out?

Correct come out ok , next time in slow cooker as opposed to oven which dried it out a bit even adding liquid every 20 min

Simplicity itself , braised  sausages, ingings in gravy on cheesy mash

Looks good Crazz, real comfort food.

Oh man crazz, that looks delicious! On the bus home from work, haven't eaten yet, that's not helping!

I'm sure I'll be in a minority of one here but that's got me cowking.

 

My old man worked for Herds the butcher when I was a kid, he was allowed to take home sausages.

I didn't mind the rest of the week but stewed sausages were Wednesday dennertime.

 

Just chappit tatties then pudding for me that day

Voodoo, to all you bastards who dislike my cooking

 

 

 

I could go some o that bangers and mash just noo min crazz

Onions.. a food that I wish I liked (because they're in just about everything) but I don't think I ever will!

Keep the faith min. They're one of these things that I never really liked until I was in my thirties

Onions are fucking magic. Try whacking them in a soup and cook them less and less each time (feel free to blend the soup). That'll wean you onto them.

 

It's mushrooms for me. I always try and like them, and I'll eat them if there on my plate (as I've never not finished a meal in living memory), but I just think they're cunts.

Tomatoes or dried fruit. Especially raisins, the root of all evil! Occasionally disguised in such kindness as chocolate

I'm the opposite. See if some fucker puts chocolate in my fruit scone or rock cake, they get a punch in the dick.

 

As an aside, I ken it wasn't the point you were making, but the whole chocolate thing has got out of hand these days. Chocolate on athin, it's rank. Chocolate is unacceptable on the following, it just doesn't go:

 

The above scone or rock cake

flapjacks

cheesecake

Thon yoghurt bar things

Any form of energy bar thing

Any fruit (apart from maybe cherries, which I don't like anyway)

Similar to Al,lots of veg I couldna look at for years.Very few i dont like these days.

 

Re - veg delivery cabbages  -  scooped the core out of a cabbage,and tried a couple of fillings.Not bad,as long as you dont over cook the cabbage.Comes off in clumps when you start to cut it if too soft.

    Also tried making a soup with a red cabbage.Had it 2 days in a row.A weird purple colour the first day,turned blue the next

Thon looks fine like. Would have to replace the beef with something different for the wife like. Perhaps Turkey or some such. Or nuts.

I have no problem with onions in a blended soup (although I still prefer not to know they're there). Mushrooms were a food that I disliked but I really like them now. Love them sauteed or grilled. More or less in any form.

 

Cheers for the vote of confidence, Al. But I'm a couple of years into my 30s now and still no real progress on the onion front! 

 

I love tomatoes in an Italian sauce or a pizza sauce. But not in their natural from or in ketchup. Gads.
