-pops- Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Monkfish (on special offer) in a 'sort of' Thermidor sauce with purple sprouting broccoli and boiled Anya potatoes. Purple sprouting brings back memories of childhood when I would go down to the allotment with my dad and pick my own portion - which had to be kept separate, even during cooking. I'm not so finicky now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Tonight it’s home made vegetable soup with crusty bread. There is plenty for tomorrow, and possibly a lunch time snack the day after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-pops- Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 I found yesterday's monkfish very disappointing. It's a long time since I had it and remember it being popularised (by Fanny Cradock) as a substitute for lobster - prior to that it was dead cheap. Lobster? My arm (not quite the word I mean but I think you will understand). It had the texture of lobster but was otherwise totally tasteless. Huge waste of money, even though it was on special offer. Today is grilled kippers with bread & butter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead please refer to it as pig's pudding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-pops- Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 I remember at the beginning of this nonsense of not being able to use the term 'black' when there was an official decree that 'black ice' on roads in the winter should be called 'dark ice'. Anyway, today's meal is chicken & mushroom soup - homemade. of course. The chicken is leftover from yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you are allowed to use "chicken" any more ? - as this is apparently a term which may offend a person who is easily frightened and avoids dangerous or difficult situations. I would suggest you call it poltroon and mushroom instead ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 Cripes! I didn't know that! Does poltroon have any association with poult(rey), I wonder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 The 25th of October is our diamond wedding anniversary, and we will be away at Warner's Alvaston hall. So we have booked for ten of us to have bed and breakfast and dinner at Fairlawns hotel Aldridge tomorrow night, and lunch on Sunday. Therefor we will manage with just a couple of boiled eggs each with bread and butter tonight. No sense in being greedy. I will not be visiting the forum tomorrow or Sunday. I will be too busy socialising with my family. https://www.fairlawns.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
