On that Christmas menu, for 'beef' and 'turkey' and 'cheese', read 'shite'. 

[dave the builder]

Thanks for the good wishes all, and the culinary advice Malcolm. You got the cheapskate bit spot on 

Not really , you're an armature 
you spent £8 
instead of £3.50 clicky
or better still £3 on....

 

[Sir Tigger KC]

You do know that you can cut a whole leg of lamb into two parts, and you'll get two half legs? And you can cut the top of a whole leg off to get 2 lamb steaks.

You will need to buy a decent bandsaw to cut it - but that gives you an excuse to go to your favourite power tool store as well. Win-Win.

However, it's also true that large lumps of meat cook better than smaller joints. And since Roast Lamb is also my favourite, just roast the whole thing yer cheapskate.

And don't forget the Rosemary and mint sauce.

Fixed that for you Malc!   

[STEMO]

Did she get the requested 'Hot chocolate fudge cake with double cream' then?

She got 1/4 of it, I got 3/4 of it. Seems only fair

What d'yer reckon to this for Christmas dinner? This is the kind of thing you have to do for your kid, wish me luck 

The stuffed Yorkshire puds sound nice... Not sure how you make vegan turkey though because birds eat all sorts of crap... Worms, grubs... 

Almost as much of a mind opps as Turkey Ham

And who the hell wants waffer thin roast beef?       

[Doctor Gollum]

It's not even actual beef

Calling it 'food' is a stretch

Presumably, making it waffer thin hides the fact that it is so far removed from actual meat that it may as well be cardboard.

Ooops!     I assumed it was posh beef like Wagyu or something. 

Waffer thin wheat gluten with horseradish. Yum!

Good point, well made. Just been watching a program about the "Middle Aisle". Wonder if they'll take the hint and have a cheap band saw there anytime soon.

No, just no.

They can't even get their own menu correct - The Turkey & Cranberry sub contains "Wafer Thin Seitan Beef" and no Turkey (fake or real), presumably because with this veggie muck you can't actually tell the difference between the fake beef and the fake turkey.

It's our anniversary today and, as it's a school day (literally  ), I said I would cook something for when she got home. I asked her what she wanted and she said she really, really fancied a lamb roast dinner. Ok, no probs, and for pudding? Hot chocolate fudge cake with double cream. Easy.
Went to Asda this morning to get the bits, thought I'd start with the lamb. They had no half legs, just two full ones. Now, you can call me tight, and I know it's our anniversary and all, but I am not paying £28.50 for a leg of lamb. They can wedge it.
So she got lamb chops instead, £8 for 8.


Cue all the jibes about me being a big, romantic softie......not 

Last week overnight visitors. Best man from my wedding & his Mrs not seen for 14 years.

Half filet of welsh beef. Pan seared a few mins, 20 mins roasted, 20 mins rested. Pan roasted new tatties, green beans, home made garlic sauce. Way less than £28 for the lot and delicious, for four. The wine was more expensive.

Tight or what?

Only if you 'forgot' to open the wine

Yet, if someone launched a line of "meat based" Tofu products they'd probably have all the vegantards up in arms.
