OK, What's For Lunch or Tea Today? II

[Barry]

£7.24's worth of Lemon Sole. You really need three of those for a meal.

Nice, but insanely expensive per pound of flesh.

Good fish and meat is expensive, regardless of variety.

I'm not big on fish, much preferring sea food: shrimps, prawns, crab, lobster and octopus. But to be contrary, I dislike shellfish such as oysters, whelks etc.

Nice, Justers... Where did you get the sole from?

Marco.

Waitrose but only because the eyes were completely clear and it was a good looking thing.

There aren't any decent fishmongers or butchers locally. I am about to do an online meat order FWIW.

That’s a wrap

Tonight's tea.... Barnsley chop with Cumberland sauce, rosemary and garlic roast potatoes, honey-glazed carrots and seasonal greens



Marco.

Looks very tasty, but how can you know it's a Barnsley chop? I've no doubt it would speak with a different accent to, say, a Bradford chop, but it doesn't look to be in any mood for talking.

I made myself curious for the answer, so looked it up - it's basically a "double chop" joined by a bit of backbone, and something like 20mm thick. So basically a greedy-guts chop, and I'm ok with that as they usually have too much fat and not enough meat. The provenance of the lamb (or mutton) doesn't come into it, just the dimensions.

I thought it would be Waitrose, as yoo iz a bit of a fanboi, no?

Surely in the whole of Bristol there must be a decent butchers...

Thought ‘Barnsley Chop’ was a move in that northern martial art ‘Ecky Thump’.

Yups... There was no fat on it whatsoever, and it was lovely and juicy
