What's for dinner ?

[BorderReiver]

I don't think it was any different from butter that way really.

It's just fat, a grease, a tasty easy eating high calorie food. Probably quite nutritious really for growing children in a cold country.

Allegedly a lot healthier than overused oil too.

Some of the better fish and chip shops and the odd pub still use dripping but it is getting rarer to cater for vegans and vegetarians - pubs some times do the potatoes for Sunday lunch.

I get fed up with eating food made for people with something wrong with them, has anyone tried Fruit Pastilles recently?

I think it's about catering to as wide an audience as possible.
If 60% of people will eat animal fat cooked chips, that means that 40% won't. The reality is that if folks want chips then pretty much 100% will eat those cooked in plant oils.
Whether it's a moral or health or just personal choice doesn't matter...the 100% of customers is the bit that does.

Unless the kitchen makes a feature of being 'traditional'......and let's be honest, this is the UK, it's only recently that rapeseed oil has been chemically treated well enough to make it edible by humans; there was only animal, fish or fowl fat here in the past centuries.
Now we have sunflowers growing in Wales, rapeseed in Scotland, but I don't think we're really producing olives yet, not enough for oil.
I managed to keep two wee trees alive for a few years, and they did produce handfuls of fruits, but the hard cold after a wet day killed them.
Commercially ? doubtful.

So, fats. Eat sparingly, eat well

No, what's up with fruit pastilles....they weren't veggie, but jelly tots were, now it seems they're all vegan

Big pork and dried beans chilli - which I think I have more or less perfected - plus a heap of sauerkraut with caraway in it and another heap of pickled red cabbage ... which, when warmed though, were both sublime.

 

[bushwacker]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Bacon

 

[BorderReiver]

Salmon with chilli and ginger, and sparra grass.

 

[5teep]

Last of the chilli I made at the weekend.

 

[MaC]

Vegan sausage rolls, roasted tomatoes, mixed veggies (sweetcorn, peas, carrots, green beans) and duchess potatoes.
It was kind of heavy. Feeling awfully full.
Think I'm going to put the kettle on and make mint tea.

 

[Winnet]

Gammon steak

Dont tell us you're in fucking India now?

Baked spud and salad for lunch.

I have to say that the Sacla blue cheese Vegan dressing is not a success
It need stilton, or even Danish Blue !

 

[Beachlover]

Got the “gravedodger” deal at the chippie in Sandown. £6.50 for fish, chips and mushy peas. Afternoon nap coming on I think.

 

[MaC]

It's one of those days that when you're out in the wet, and you pass by and smell that warm beery pub sort of smell, and add in the chips, etc., no wonder the pubs are full
Decent of them doing the OAP deal at the weekend though; they don't round here.

 

[ElThomsono]

Toad in the hole, simple but effective, and Laura has it on her head that it's a load of effort so I can just hide in the kitchen with MF DOOM playing while I drink the milk stout from the advent calendar.

 

[Saint-Just]

Monkfish cheeks, queen scallops, pancetta dice and crème fraîche with a nice basmati rice. Can’t wait.

 

[MaC]

spaghetti (heaven help us, gluten free ) with a veggie filled tomato and basil sauce. Used home made pesto for the basil....made it and froze it in small sheets. Grated vegetarian parmesan on top....or in my case ground almonds with nooch

 

[MaC]

Got hellish heartburn now

I'm blaming the gluten free, but I know it's the tomato sauce.
Sod's law.

 

[noddy]

Bratwurst, mash, sauerkraut.

Sparkly water with it. Going to experiment with laying off the bevvies for a week.

 

[bushwacker]

half a slow cooked leg of herdwick hogget with sparkly apple flavoured, mildly alcohlol infused water.

 

[E. By Gum]

Hogget?
