What are you eating and drinking tonight?

[Prufrock]

Homemade chicken and asparagus pie. OM.

[Burnden Paddock]

Beef stew and dumplings, followed by steamed lemon syrup sponge pudding and custard. Proper winter warmers. Plenty of both left over for tomorrow too.

That really is comfort food for a cold night in January in Bolton... The custard confirms it!... Excellent...

I am, I'm happy to admit, something of a meat snob. I'd sooner push rusty screws in my eyes than buy supermarket meat. All mine comes from my local butcher and he knows where every animal came from, all of them within 5 miles of the shop.

It is then, with something of a red face, that I confess that I've just had some of the best meat I've ever eaten.................from a supermarket.

Gentlemen (and ladies) I implore you. If you do nothing else tomorrow, forget the lie in, ignore the papers, leave the 'special cuddles' for another day and get yourself to Aldi to pay £9.95 for their 4 bird roast. It didn't shrink, would easily feed 6 and the taste, oh the taste! Unbelievably good.

Might give this a whirl next weekend.

Tried this over xmas, can only agree with Bob if they're still doing it.

Care to expand? Which four breeds are involved?

[boltonboris]

I imagine Duck, Turkey, Shoebill and Snow Owl

[ohjimmyjimmy]

Four bird roast...?
I misunderstood, thought it was a premier league players' night out.

[Bruce Rioja]

I imagine Duck, Turkey, Shoebill and Snow Owl

No Ivory-Billed Woodpecker? They can fecking well keep it then.

Tapas for lunch, after the Spanish class. At Evuna, in Manchester. £9.99 for 3 tapas. Between us we had Hake Galician style, chicken pincho, garlic mushrooms, calamares, tortilla espanola and mini tuna pasties...

Excellent house red at £3.50.

Having a crack at making a prather pie. Someone needs to carry on the family tradition.

What's your crust recipe? Despite being a good cook, crusts aren't the wife's strong point.

Ah, I'll be cheating on that front this time, Tango.

Object of today's exercise is to get the consistency right. Once I'm happy that I've cracked that then I'll try my hand at pastry

Let's know when you do. Just nothing like home made prater pie.

Knife and fork, salt and pepper and away you go. Was it good?

[boltonboris]

Got a fvckload of Flank steak from Costco (£13 for 1.7kg).

Was thinking of doing a pie, but I don't think it 'cooks' well.

Am I best chucking a dusting of flour on it and frying it up?
