What are you munching on? v. the cheese n' fish cake crew

your spot on there.some times i treat myself to a Tbone,butcher in Maynooth does some of the best around.
red hot pan-olive oil,salt n pepper on the steak.pan fry a few onions,big portion of chips and some pepper sauce.
follow the above with a few btls of beer.

tonight i did a massive omelette with greek lemon flavoured potatoes.
 
Urrr god I haven't had a steak in I don't know how long. Tomorrow.

I just ate a curry from the local takeaway which is normally excellent but I have a feeling that they are now substituting mutton for lamb as the meat's tougher, in smaller pieces (to disguise the toughness, I think) and has that distinctive disgusting muttony taste about it. I heard the price of lamb has skyrocketed so that's probably why. Boo.

Yeah its vital to have a good butcher for meat. I dislike the supermarket stuff as I've mentioned before
Omlettes also good though
 
The vanishing family butcher means we're eating a lot of shite meat these days, it's a food tragedy. Nothing beats PROPER steak but these days there's a screaming premium attached to anything naturally reared.
 
Made some tasty spag bol tonight for dinner along with Onion bread ( my own creation as a garlic bread substitute as "someone" doesn't like garlic ) Topped my spag with Green olives and fresh hot chillies
I'm stuffed!
 
People have been saying for years that family / tradiitional butchers are dying out, it doesn't seem to be the case at all in the last few years. I keep seeing new butchers opening up and others expanding or moving to new, more luxurious premises. There's tons of new butchers round here, i'm sure a few years back it was on the decline but people have cottoned onto the fact that supermalret meat is shit on the whole and that butchers produce is of a higher quality.

Have to agree there's a couple of very decent butchers round here all linked to local farms. They're very popular always queued out too. The quality of supermarket meat is shocking, it's no surprise people are returning to local butchers.

I'm paying a visit to our local tomorrow to stock up the freezer, and then onto the wee greengrocer down the road for fresh things. Ayrshire tatties are in season, you buy them dirty (fnar fnar) but god they taste good.

What's lacking here is a fish monger, we're right by the sea too...pretty sad we can't buy fresh fish locally. Yet.
 
I love fresh seafood. Yummy.

Sadly some people can't afford butchers prices. Sure the meat is better at my local but I can barely afford supermarket meat. Lots of veggie stews going on here though. Cheap veg, very filling, very healthy and you can make so much in bulk.
 
I find I eat less meat but its better quality from the butchers so it works out economically. It's healthier too to make your meals veg n' pulse ones. With you all the way on that!

In other news I'm munchin' on this..Nice, very nice %)

Not all butchers are expensive, there used to be 3 near my flat in Leith. The one next door to me was a proper basic butcher, nothing fancy about it, the meat was decent enough quality but the prices were low.
 
Stews are a great way to have some cheap, wholesome food for a few days. Whether its lamb or beef it can be made to go a long way with some stock and veg. Not as appealing in the warm weather maybe
 
Yeah, Stews are a great way of cooking on the cheap. Mine are usually veg as its mega cheap.

you're right though, soup in the summer just isn't nice.

Curry anything and you have an all season delish dish :)

I'm onto the man's stash of posh crisps now...piggy kate :|

kettle, mackies n' the like. I'm usually a Spar shop cheapo onion ring gal :D

Crisps that cost over £1.50 are posh in my book. Man buys then for himself...tonight I've slipped and pinched em =D

If I had a mandolin I could do them myself, not so posh but chef style and bound to be extra tasty.
 
ordered a grimey hoisin duck and roast pork pizza yest, as bad as it sounds its sex in circular wheel food form :D ultranom
