    Yeah, you know what I mean though, unless things have changed since I was last up, you don't really see mushy peas in Scottish chippies... Yes or no?

    Personally, I don't 'do' tinned peas or indeed, sweetcorn aside (and occasionally Puy lentils), any tinned veg. So usually only good quality frozen peas, or fresh if they're in season and decent. Quite enjoy de-podding them! Then steam/boil them and serve simply with some melted butter [and I mean BUTTER, not marge shite] and freshly-ground black pepper on top... Noice

    Yeah, that's what I thought. I wouldn't touch the latter [plastic kebab and pizza shops] with a bargepole. Defo not my thing.

    Lovely stuff guys! Glad to see everyone eating quality nosh!

    Did a nice Pulled Brisket Chilli the other day. Slow cooked for about 7 hours with a bunch of quality chillies used (Ancho, Guajillo and Chipotles in Adobo) together with some lovely additions like pimenton and 90% dark chocolate. Needed some fresh guacamole to temper the heat.



    Today’s fare for a gloriously hot day...

    Some Chorizo Tortilla with garlic prawns and a little tomato and avocado salad.
