-pops- Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 I tried that Patak's Butter Chicken sauce a few months ago. Very nice! I bought another jar. Â Getting some fish today. Don't know what, yet. Will report back later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Pataks is nice - but very oily. Â I pour it into a shallow dish - put it in the fridge overnight then the following day "draw" all the oil off the top with kitchen roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 Didn't go to the shops (for the fish) yesterday so we had baked potatoes with canned tuna & mayonnaise. Â Today will be fresh fish - to be decided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-pops- Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 Yes, we have fish in the freezer but by the time we'd decided not to go out, it was a bit late to allow the fish we had to thaw out naturally - and I dislike the so-called accelerated thawing that a microwave does - that's always patchy with areas of cooked and areas of still frozen. Not an attractive prospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-pops- Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Yesterday was haddock in a cheese, parsley and onion sauce with new potatoes and sugar snap peas.  Today is lamb leg "steaks" with sauté potatoes (leftovers from yesterday) and purple broccoli.

Belatucadrus Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Yesterday was pork chops with roast potatoes and sprouts, today is eat out day so it'll either be fish and chips or carvery, depends what we feel like at lunch time. Turns out it was fish and chips at the Hare & Hounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some Quorn stuff is quite reasonable.  You probably couldn't imagine living with a vegetarian, and then having an eldest daughter with a vegan family ! This explains why we rarely have Sunday lunch with them . At least my youngest and her family are carnivores  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 I often have meat and fish free days but then it's full-blown vegetarian. I always feel there's something not quite right (and unnecessary) about disguising vegetables as meat (or fish). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belatucadrus Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 I have no problem with people eating vegetarian ( apart from the flatulence ). What gets up my nose is that many of them are sanctimonious holier than thou toss pots who spend an inordinate amount of time sneering at then preaching to carnivores. Insisting that they are the morally superior being and that deep down we poor deluded meat chomping cro magnon boobs know it. That I have issues with. The other goody is that if they visit you, you have to make special vegetarian dishes for them as they can't possibly eat your food. Do they reciprocate when you visit them, have they provided as much as a sausage or a burger for the guest that bent over backwards to cater to their foibles ? No chance, you have to eat their stuff, usually accompanied by a lecture on animal welfare, how healthy it is and how much happier you'll be after the change. I'd rather deal with the Mormons or Jehovas witnesses.  PS I've now got to the stage that if anybody else says "Meat is murder" my response will be two short Anglo Saxon words and unequivocally rude.

From the phrasing of your post it would appear you've already tried them, what cooking method do you use ? Pot roast or stewed ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belatucadrus Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 Back on topic today will be M&S salmon and broccoli quiche with salad and probably new potatoes, though I may go for chips. Â We had a rethink, the quiche became lunch and the dinner will be bacon chops with cauliflower cheese and potatoes of some description.
