Today I'm happy about......

Sausage making day. Might seem strange to some, but home made sausages are much nicer than shop bought ones and much healthier - meaning I can eat more of them

Trying to do a good cumberland, but so far not got it right. Some of the 'accidents' on the way have been very good though and are now new invented varieties! If you've a mincer, something to grind spices and some drug dealer scales, you should give it a go.

Do you need those in case they turn out crap and feel the need for a quick hit?

Not in this country you don't! They're for precise weighing of herbs n spices where you need say 4.5g of something.

it all sounds like ace fun, except... I'm vegetarian

but I can fully understand you meat-eaters wanting to be sure your sausages are not just filled with salt, mashed pig eyebrows and arseholes, earwax, ground scrotum sack and factory floor sweepings...

I can rarely get pork shoulder here, so I mainly use pork leg. Much leaner cut so healthier. Spices make up about 2.5% of the weight, of which maybe 60% is salt. No preservatives, nitrates and emulsifiers.

We've been giving Quorn a good go recently. Their sausages aren't bad at all. With brown sauce and a good slap of lurpak on your muffin, you can barely tell they aint the real thing.

quorn mince, quorn chicken pieces and quorn sausages make being a veggie much easier than it used to he...

Does it really taste nice? Like meat? I'd like to eat less meat...

you've said that for many years... I don't really believe you!

quorn - depends what you do with it... on it's own - tastes like cardboard...

but - put the mince in a shepherds/cottage pie or a chilli or in spaghetti bolognese with sauce and seasoning - then it does a decent and healthy impression

put the chicken pieces in a pie with a tin of condensed mushroom soup and some actual mushrooms and leeks and many would be fooled into thinking it was a chicken pie... or they go very well in a stir-fry...

quorn is quite good at taking on the flavour of the things you cook it with - you'd not want to eat a big piece of quorn to replace a steak...

the sausages are already seasoned with summat I think - they are not just quorn-tubes... and - as Harry says - perfectly decent... (prob not as good at AT's home-made jobbies, though.. but then neither would your bargain pack of walls bangers..)

quorn is streets ahead of that old soy-mince that I wouldn't feed to my dog.... disgusting stuff...

We've been pleasantly surprised. Used it as replacement for mince in spag bol, chicken pieces in salad and sausages. Less calories, more ethical and it keeps Mo Farah in the lifestyle to which he's become accustomed.

Hmmm, perhaps i'll try the sausages first. Pretty sure we bought some of them once when you and C came round to tea. Don't think the rest got eaten though!

That's my issue with meat eating. I try to ensure the meat we eat is high welfare but obviously that's more expensive so if I could replace it, maybe one meal a week with something different that could work... In theory I'd love to become a vegetarian but I can't see that ever happening....

quorn won't replace the meat in the menu of someone who only cooks the meat-and-two-veg (perhaps minus the veg) style of cooking....

Whew.

I was psyching myself up for Kentucy Fried Quorn for a minute there (actually that might not taste much different either)

I bought Quorn sausages once. They were fecking shit. Threw the rest in the rubbish. Over!

finish in here tomorrow dinner and embark homewards, i like travelling home. Can sink a few gins in the 1st class too as there will be no friday night pub ride due to it being the wifes birthday, this is a bit of a shitter as we are out the door at 5am saturday morning to airport for a week in a 'luxury' villa on the Algarve. we'll probably go for tea somewhere tomorrow night instead, then when we get back next week were at Nutters for Sunday lunch for my mothers birthday. Then im off on the Monday and Tuesday (working from home) because i didnt want to be away for the little girls first day at primary school!! which is on a Tuesday(!?) so Monday it'll be a day on the bike somewhere, maybe the Peaks if the weathers ok or somewhere wooded if not. so a decent few days ahead is what im quite happy about atm.
