andsome Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 1 hour ago, -pops- said: My pea preferences depend on the meal I am eating. I regard the different types of peas as different vegetables - in a similar way to instant coffee or Camp coffee having little resemblance to the real stuff. In that way, I see fresh peas different to frozen peas, in turn, different to tinned marrowfat, different to mushy, different to tinned garden peas and so on. We always buy frozen as they are fresher than those so called fresh bought in a shop. We do love canned mushy peas with fish and chips. We do find canned peas a little strange in their flavour. Each to his/her own of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanHo Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 It's pointless for us to buy fresh peas. They never make it to the saucepan - I eat them all out of the pod. I have been known not to bother to shell them - eat them pod 'n all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanHo Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 Minted lamb shanks, taters and veg for us today. The shanks were put in the slow cooker at 05:45 am this morning and will be slowly bubbling away until we have dinner at about 5:00 pm. Â I hate lamb fat - so for me a long slow cook is ideal followed by resting the residual gravy in a tall glass vessel to make it easy to skim off the liquid fat which floats to the top.

Surprisingly good.  Today is braised pig's liver & onions with sauté potatoes and the other half of the cauliflower (it was very large).

AlanHo Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 That's hardly an accurate statement - I eat occasionally. I just had my standard breakfast of 2 slices of toasted granary bread with a lavazza brewed coffee and a glass of fresh orange juice. Because it is what I have every day you would get bored with me posting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
