Not sure yet though Henry my Yorkie has had turkey sausage, I thought I'd try em, yuk, he's well chuffed though:)
Not me, first I'd heard of it. I suspect its origins are in the south of the UK :)
Marco.
had Huss before but up here its usually Haddock, although some shops try to bump you with whiting which is crap. Not much beats a nice bit of Haddock cooked right.
Nothing wrong with Whiting. It's very tasty and delicate. I agree Haddock is great.
Had some battered, fresh Gurnod with chips from a great fish & chip shop down in Cornwall not that long ago. That was abloutely lovely!
Actually, just remembered, in the fridge, bought yesterday Morrissons chunky haddock in breadcrumbs, meant to have that today - doh! Hope it keeps till tomorrow!
got haddock in fridge too. have it tomorrow
There used to be a fantastic fish market in Brighton, so fresh and just around the corner was fruit and veg. I'll never forget " yellow peril " aka smoked and dyed haddock, bloody amazing.
Just a sandwich for me tonight and Mia had Felix beef with poultry in jelly. I sometimes think she eats better than me although I'm not about to share a pouch with her lol.
Indeed. Haddock is what you generally get in Scotland, as part of a 'fish supper' (or whiting, equally excellent, both of which my dad used to serve in his chippy), not that pish you get down here, called cod...
That's one thing I certainly miss from Glasgow! :exactly:
Marco.
Yeah prefer haddock myself, but stand in a fish shop down south and all peeps order is cod and chips, cod and chips, get the idea !
but its rather bland, haddock s definitely the sweeter fish.
The frozen North Atlantic Pollock, that is sold as 'cheap' fish by the supermarkets, is actually very nice. It's related to Cod, but with more delicate flesh. The flavour is good.
Having some in a minute actually.
You're are a man of good taste, Brian! Haddock rules (not that thick 'puffy' crap that folks here like)... I know where you can stick yer 'cod and chips'! ;)
[Hard to get a decent 'fish tea' around here].
Marco.
In our family tea (meal) meant afternoon tea with sandwiches and cakes.
Evening meal was called supper. I still find it a bit strange when friends talk about their tea meaning their evening meal.
That's all very true, Alex, but also very British! ;)
For us continentals, it's always been breakfast > lunch > dinner/evening meal. The latter, however, is usually something rather light, as the main meal of the day is mostly eaten at lunch time.

We usually called dinner teatime and that was about 5 ish. Lunch often got called dinner and was often a bigger meal, but that was many years ago, its now lunch and dinner
Just remembered, there is also the term high tea, meaning main evening meal.
I occasionally enjoy some proper afternoon tea at a 'posh hotel', which usually follows a substantial breakfast, and replaces lunch :)
In such cases, breakfast would be eaten around 9am, and afternoon tea around 3pm. A light evening meal, around 7pm may follow.
Marco.
Haha... Another typically British peculiarity! :eyebrows:
Marco.
It used to go like this here.
Early morning cuppa, sometimes with a biscuit.
Breakfast, could be a full cooked one, or just cereal, toast and cup of tea.
Elevenses, coffee and perhaps a biscuit.
Lunch, usually followed by a coffee.
Afternoon tea, cup of tea, sandwiches and cakes (but not always).
Supper, main evening meal
Late evening tea, usually about 9 pm, probably just a cup of tea.
Lol.... Ok if you're a 'tea-jenny'! ;)
Marco [rarely, if ever, drinks tea].
I used to like both about equally, but I'm getting a bit old and perhaps my digestion isn't so good, tea seems to suit me better than coffee, strangely, coffee can make me feel a bit nauseous.
No worries, Alex, each to his or her own :)
Last time we enjoyed 'proper' afternoon tea, al fresco, it was at The Manor House Hotel in Moreton-in-Marsh:

Superb place that, in a gorgeous old market town.
Marco.
It was in 2000, I was taken to Harrods for afternoon tea. I seem to remember that it was £25, I think each!
It seemed very nice, but later that day I felt ill, and certainly was.
I didn't tell my host that this happened, but some time later they let on to me that they were ill too after the tea!
Cool... Do you think you've got a bit of a delicate tummy?
One place I'd love to have afternoon tea, which is where we'll go next time we're in London, is the Savoy. What a beautiful place that is! Especially as Del and I absolutely adore anything Art Deco :)
When we're up in Scotland, our favourite haunt for afternoon tea is the Roman Camp Hotel in Callander: http://www.romancamphotel.co.uk/afternoon-tea/
Simply awrsome! :cool:

chicken roast potatoes and gravy. very nice it was for a delicate stomach
Nothing much for me. Been a bit off colour last couple of days, so just a bag of crisps and a cereal bar tonight.
Had a big and late lunch, didn't feel like anything much, just had some fruit.
Nice big jacket potato with grated extra strong cheddar and coleslaw. Mia had Felix plaice and salmon in jelly which she porked down in record time, now unconscious on the window sill.
Lovely home fried KFC style chicken.
S.
The only thing missing in this is MSG. Tablespoons not teaspoons. ;)

Yes yes posted before... Amazing though. I also double dip my chicken: flour, egg, flour again, egg again then dried breadcrumbs.
If you can, chicken marinates overnight in buttermilk before coating.
Couldn't be arsed cooking today, so went out for Sunday lunch at our favourite Wrexham restaurant: http://thefatboarwrecsam.co.uk/menus/sunday-menu/
Two courses for £14, including a superb selection of quality roasts... The portions are sizeable too, and with no washing up afterwards! What's not to like? :cool:
Hee-haw needed for 'tea'. Maybe some fresh fruit, as it's scorchio here :)
Marco.
Popped into Tesco earlier an bought some big spuds, so it's baked potatoes later.
Sirloin steak and chips
