Re: Wot's for Tea, Ma?
Rossian, I have to ca' canny on pulses, as they're high in purines and make me gouty. I generally try things that are not too dissimilar to stuff I've had before, but then try tweaking the recipe again. The chook/plum/tarragon recipe worked well, but I find myself wondering whether fennel might be worth a try in place of the onion. I also have a mate who's a chef in a Michelin-starred place, and he suggests some interesting tweaks. Fun, isn't it?

Don't know, but as long as it is not some type of water passing itself off as soup and a bowl of jelly I will be over the moon.Plus I think my eyeballs are starting to float from this full liquid diet.

Having read Magnus's Pork Belly with Pear & Figs OR Chicken with Plums & Tarragon, it'll be either of those....pending what is available at the shops.
Re: Wot's for Tea, Ma?
....No plums, so the Pork belly it is...

Re: Wot's for Tea, Ma?
Are the Telegraph recipes behind a paywall? All my devices are connected through my subscription, but the foodie stuff might be fully accessible. I often cut out the "Art of Friday Supper" for ideas.
Leftover chook/plum tonight with mash & whatever veggies I can find lurking.

Re: Wot's for Tea, Ma?
Had a bit of a cook-for-the-granddottir-day yesterday and froze containers of lentil soup, mince, mash &c. As a result, I have a big chunk of boiled piggy in the fridge (stock for soup), so it'll be a simple boiled ham, spuds and cabbage tea tonight. I found a jar of kimchi hiding in the fridge, so it may well feature.
Re: Wot's for Tea, Ma?
Tonight may well be 11 vegetable salad with roast chicken pieces....

Fettling a chilli con carne at the behest of SWMBO. The pork/pear/fig concoction will be tried tomorrow.

Roast Chook with Lemon, onion, sage stuffing, roasted root vegetables, sauteed spinach & gravy ...
Chook & Veggies done in a disposable aluminium pan, thrown in the rubbish, plates in the dishwasher, clean up is a breeze!

Going here for dinner tonight....

Typically overpriced, and will no doubt be a lot of typically pretentious w@nkers.....But Mrs Fliegs friend & her Husband are in from the Country and staying in Broady, so that's where she has picked....

Re: Wot's for Tea, Ma?
OK, very expensive, but in the end 'they' insisted on paying... :/ ...and surprisingly for the suburb not an idiot in sight..
So then-
So then-
To be fair, perhaps in the top 10 meals I've ever had....'Signature' Sand Crab Lasagne, topped with Abalone cream sauce & Tempura soft shell crab.
Re: Wot's for Tea, Ma?
Now I know...from a review..
"Regulars will be pleased to learn that the signature sand-crab lasagne topped with abalone cream sauce and tempura soft-shell crab (if you know, you know) remains on Koi’s menu."

Yes, very very good indeed.....
