Has anyone got a source of reasonably priced posh pork scratchings? I got them from a seller on Amazon, for a while, but the only ones for sale there now are at silly prices...

Tea

Thai chicken curry 12.5 grams in sauce
Slim water rice ...no carbs

I got mine from amazon also, they were at £7.49 though, I guess like most amazon items add to wish list and watch for it to be on sale, I think waitrose might sell them and Harvey nicks etc but no doubt more expensive, sorry not much help
maybe you could try durian again lol

I'll settle for the recipe - assuming you used a different one from the Spice Men's?

Recipe? I didn't do this one to any recipe.

I browned a couple of sliced onions, then used those to line the bottom of the slow cooker. I then browned the short ribs, in the same oil, then places on top of the onions. I added a leek, some mushrooms, a carrot, a parsnip (Sorry, sorry !), a bit of seasoning, a beef stock pot, 250ml red wine, and enough water to just cover the other ingredients.

I set this to High for an hour, then turned down to low and ignored for 9 hours.

At this stage, I fished out the bones, which were completely clean. I ladled off as much liquid as I could, and reduced it to about a third to intensify the flavours.. Whilst the liquid was reducing, I fished out the chunks of beef and pulled, as you might the pork, and put it back into the dish, along with the reduced stock.


I served on a bed of steamed kale, and it tasted better than I thought it would when cooking it.


There's a lot of it. If anyone's passing, pop in and pick up a vat. There'll be enough!!

 

[cold ethyl]

Breakfast scrambled egg bacon
Lunch 1/2 nectarine, slice ham, slice beef, cheese
Snack 1sq dark chocolate. Also pinched a sq of junior's milk choc with smarties. Far too sweet.
Dinner chilli, cheese, salad

 

[Brunneria]

Crustless quiche
Bulletproof coffee
Gouda and pork scratchings (not posh, threw most away)
DIY burger and cauli cheese (M&S - delish! Thanks Mr B!)
Berries n cream

A lot of food today, but needed serious fueling - a 6 hour meeting presenting 2 months work - quite draining.

However, am now on hol for 6 days.

Asda sell bigger packs of pork scratchings for £1 so work out cheaper....

I've got to ask ...where does the maple syrup come in ? do you have it on the sausages ?

Yes, a little drizzle over it is yum! It's like how they have their sausage and pancakes in America

I used to love marmalade with my sausages and on fried bread - can't do that any more, but will try the sausage/maple syrup thing

The best ones are the German ones in aldi or lidl - bawerherst or whatever they're called - it tastes like American sausages which I love!

12g of cheese is VERY specific Ethyl!!!

It is a Cathedral city wrapped portion. 12g and 50cals apparently. I am safest with restricted portions of the stuff , at least until I lose a bit more weight. Though I do have a nice Wensleydale lurking in fridge for supper.

 

[suehatton]

I love those little portions. Wehave them a lot. Didnt realise they were 12g
