Had a wonderful day and bought way too much!
Todays late evening meal was two slices of low carb bread with various toppings bought in Germany.
Second picture is everything I bought, good thing I made room in the fridge and freezer this morning!

That looks absolutely delicious.@plantae hope you start to feel better soon, glad you’re managing to keep broth down.
Today I had a late breakfast of open omelette/frittata containing spinach, mozzarella and a couple of cherry toms.
Lunch was tuna melt muffins and a DGF cake.
Dinner- shepherds pie made with minced hogget and cauli mash. Served with cabbage and a glass of red.
Black coffee all morning and black tea when out this aft. View attachment 59747
Change of plan - I just checked the carb content of Lorne sausage and it is higher than I thought. Using Lorne sausage would put me over 20g carb by about 3 g, even if I cut it down to half the amount. So, I'll give the sausage a miss and give it to Alistair - the kids like it - and replace it with cheese. When we were eating a vegetarian diet we often had cabbage and cheese and enjoyed it. Didn't stop me gaining weight, however.BG's a bit on the high side this morning, and rising. I've taken a correction dose of insulin but only had tea so far and will wait until it comes down to a reasonable level before eating anything. When I do eat, it will be:
Breakfast: Bacon and eggs.
2nd meal: Fish "chowder" followed by stir fried cabbage and other veg with bits of Lorne sausage in it. Hoping the 2 courses won't be too many calories; certainly not much in the way of carbs.

Just bought from Amazon a hand operated sausage stuffing gadget and will be having another go at making my own pork sausages - high fat and zero carb!
I do make koftas, and sausage patties but I really want to have a shot at making proper all-meat sausages in skins - hence the sausage maker. One reason is that I like stews made with sausage, but patties or koftas just don't stand up to stewing and usually break up. Best sausages I can buy locally have a lot of rusk in them - haven't checked recently on percentages but they are these from Tesco -Ann, a traditional Lorne sausage recipe will have a fair amoiunt of rusk/breadcrumbs in it. I'm sure that's a major contributor to it holding it's shape.
I know you don't have the same supermarket choices as we do on the mainland, but most of the biggies now have very high meat content sausages. I don't have a sausage making device, but in the absence, I'd either create kofta shapes of whatever meat and seasonings I cared for, or just have sausage patties.
