Porridge again, but not made in the proper way because:

A) I didn't soak the oats overnight.
B) I wasn't wearing a Kilt and Tam 'O Shanter.
C) I wasn't waving a Claymore about with an eye open for marauding Englishmen.
D) Cooked on an electric hob, not on a few hot stones laid on a bed of smouldering peat.

Mangos from Pakistan. Damn you have to try them if you haven't already they are in season right now.

Anwar Ratol are small but they pack a punch.

Chaunsa are a good alternative.

The others are a gamble.

I make chilli with pinto beans. I keep about a quarter tin back, mash them and add to thicken things up.
I sometimes make a pork chilli and use black beans.
In both cases I prefer to use pieces of meat not mince. And plenty of chilli.

Just finished a late lunch - Black Pudding and Chorizo Hash, Crispy Herb Potatoes, and Red Onion topped with a Fried Egg (also added two rashers of back bacon).

First decent meal (with flavours and textures) in about a week - I had a procedure this morning, and I’ve been on a low-fibre bland diet since Sunday, and fasted since 9am yesterday morning, drinking only water (and some vile preparation) for the last 24 hours.

Thai meal tonight, with some nice IPAs to wash it down.

What Thai dishes do you have? I had drunken noodles once that tasted of nothing. Really disappointing :(

I am, thanks - just waiting for the test results...

I'm quite boring on Thai meals - I love Tom Yam soup with chicken, and then it depends how I feel on what main I have; I had Gratum Prik Thai with chicken and noodles on Friday (garlic, coriander, & black pepper sauce, stir fried with onions & mushrooms, topped with fresh coriander) - I tend to go for flavours rather than heat.

We always get Thai takeaway from Jinos Thai restaurant in Headingley - it's been going for over 20 years, and is run/food cooked by Thais.

That sounds really nice, get well soon :tu:

I had ham, egg and chips earlier with crusty bread and a 99 in the park for afters, wanted an oyster but they've been unavailable since last year nationwide because of a cross contamination issue in the only remaining factory that made them :shocked: :mad:

Re: What are you eating now?
 
I rustled up a goat curry last night. I found an older pack of the curry powder I used and saw that it isn't the same as it used to be. It looked darker and Amazon buyers had mentioned it.
Comparing the ingredients the older had aniseed in it and now salt is listed higher up the list where it used to be last. The latter hints as saving, salt is heavy so you can keep the weight up using cheaper ingredients.
Still it tasted good. I didn't use coconut milk as I wanted something else but lamb stock made up the liquid and I did at a scotch-bonnet chilli for heat.

spiderplant 24-09-2025 13:06

Re: What are you eating now?
 
Strangely I had a dig in the freezer last night and found some goat "best before 2021". That'll need some strong curry powder. Or it might become dogfood. :)
