What’s for tea tonight?

[Barmitzvah Boy]

Forget the softy southern ‘lunch and dinner’, it is ‘dinner and teatime’.

Tonight I am having beef sausages from Whittaker’s on Blackburn Market (hardly any fat whatsoever*) and some horseradish mash along with asparagus. Pudding is Cartmel Sticky Toffee Pudding and brandy clotted cream.

Tomorrow for tea I am treating myself to a nice brisket. The leftovers will keep me going for about 3 days.


* You get out what you put in.

Last night I made pork sausages from Mellor butchers (made by Farnsworths at Whalley) in a rich onion gravy with spring cabbage and mash (Maris piper). Honestly BB you haven't had sausages until you try those sausages. Come around one day and I'll cook you some .... but don't worry discretion is my middle name..
Moving on my mate had a wholesale butchers business and I went in one day and said I'll have some sausages as usual and also I'll try a pound of beef sausages too. He said 'no you won't, beef sausages are full of all sorts of crap'.. Sorry BB don't shoot the messenger.

So tonight I'm marinating some beef kebabs ready for grilling after an hour or so in the local. A few chips in the health fryer plus a salad of tomato, red onion, red pepper and mixed beans in an olive oil and white wine vinegar dressing and the jobs a gud un.

It depends who makes your sausage and whether you prefer a pigs arse or a cows arse.

Your kebabs and salad sounds lovely. I suggest a nice blended wine from Washington State to help it slide down. This is one I used to quaff when working in the Columbia River area over a number of years. The larger Booths stores tend to sell it.

I often buy either beef short ribs or beef shoulder steak. I cook them slow (100c) for about 7 or 8 hours along with vegetables.

Only joking, they look delicious, certainly mouth watering photos.

DFC, your descriptions reminded me of a place we ate at in Wanaka NZ.
The food was "Mediterranean", basically any country with a distinctive cuisine around there, this place cooked it. Turkish/Syrian/Morroccan/Greek/Lebanese, etc, brilliant stuff
Called "The White House".( Just checked, and it has succumbed to the nasty development syndrome).
It was unusual in that it had a bar, yep OK, but the restaurant had maybe 6 or 8 tables, and your reservation was for a "time".
You were not expected to arrive more than 5 minutes before. The other thing was that no more than four people at one table, and to stop people pulling tables together, the tables were nailed/bolted/screwed to the floor.
The menu was a chalk board, as was the wine list, all based around locally produced stuff.
Shame that a restaurant like this had to go under, but that's the power of money. But you can't blame the owners as everyone has their offer they can't refuse.

Won't they have used the money to move on to a bigger place?

Depending on the cuts

Venison and Game mushroom pie - you can get diced duck breast from Waitrose or booths which would go well.

Venison Wellington

Venison Stroganoff
