I have a tenderloin of pork which I will marinade in Ras el Hanout, Vegetable cop out (Broccoli) and some potato or other.

Baked spud, king prawns, seafood sauce. Easy peasy.

Oh, goody. MrsP has procured a guinea fowl, so that will be pot-roasted with shallot, garlic, cider, sage and apple slices. Finish the sauce with cream, and we're sorted. Baby spuds and tender stem broccoloccoloccoli.

Are ibis edible? Thought you had a few of them on the Gold Coast. A butcher outside our health board area and technically off-limits often has guinea fowl supremes, 4 for £10. Beautiful meat. I used the guinea fowl carcasse to make stock with leek, carrot, tarragon and seasoning. That'll go into either soup or a risotto.

Fair comment When we lived in Oz, I got the impression they nested in trash cans. There is, apparently, a small market for guinea fowl in Australia, about 40000 birds a year. I think they taste like I remember chicken tasting when I was a kid.

Guineafowl meat is drier and leaner than chicken meat and has a gamey flavour.
It has marginally more protein than chicken or turkey, roughly half the fat of chicken and slightly fewer calories per gram.

They are plentiful here in ZA, but too small, there's not a lot on them.

Oxtail and butterbeans cooking in a heavily enriched liquor of red wine and brown Windsor soup and Oxo and Bovril and a few slices of ginger root. Proppa winter food.

Bubbling away nicely in the slow cooker and emanating a smell which is making my mouth water already.

A goose for Sunday, (and probably Monday too!).

Inspired by my lovely newly acquired oil painting, I've ordered half a dozen thick fillet steaks of Highland Cow beef and as many again of T-bone steaks, also thick, from the same beast. Next week I'll have to drive 25 miles to collect the meat, which is slightly dodgy under the lockdown regs, but I'll find a way to legalise the trip somehow. A sly visit to Valvona & Crolla on the side would be pushing my luck though.

Makhani chicken curry with a few individual touches thrown in such as baby corn, sugar snap peas and a few slices of banana

Oddly enough, I find it more moist than chicken that's been pumped full of crap and slaughtered at 49 days. Chicken is fine (if responsibly sourced) in stir-fries or tagines, but I can't abide roast chicken any more. It used to be a treat (Christmas &c) but now it's more like a penance.

In one of my frequent descents into Philistinism, I'm going to stir the remains of last night's beef casserole into pasta, probably casareccia. Tasty and easy.

Having a pot noodle for the first time in about 30 years. A Wicked vegan Spicy, Smoky, Dreamy Mac... lovely but probably so bad for me that I will expire with a smile on my face.

The occupants of this abode, never eat chicken in a restaurant, and very seldom in the home.

All chicken is severely inspected by SM before purchase.
