Including the béarnaise and chips? And did you feel worse for it?
I had a very pleasant lamb kofta at a local pub. Would have been perfection if there was one more piece of lamb and those pickled chilli things which I find are a must when eating any form of lamb kebab.
What did you have for dinner last night AWIMB?
Last night I had leftover meat loaf with chips and brocolli.Quote:

Drink may have been taken.
Duck.
And beer, obv.
Surely stuff stays cold enough overnight to just refreeze it?Quote:

Seemed a good excuse to have high quality curries for almost every meal this week :eat:
Yep. The whole, darned thing. Couldn't be bothered with the bearnaise; instead I caramelised a load of onions and added plenty cheese, which mixture I laid 'pon the chips before grilling the mess to melty, ceesey, oniony goodness.Quote:

Hang on. Have I misunderstood something? Are you saying you buy takeaway curry and then freeze it?Quote:

Meatloaf? That's sort of compressed mince, isn't it?Quote:

Yes. Much like a hamburger or a meatball.Quote:

Weird.
Worse - you mix mince with breadcrumbs and bake it. :puke:Quote:

Deal with it.
You braise mince which has been mixed with breadcrumbs? Or mince on its own?Quote:

It's a compressed mince sandwich.Quote:

But you're perfectly qualified to comment on food. You really mustn't be overawed by Berni's bizarre attitude to mince.Quote:

She normally has to prepare a couple of different meals, one that teh kids will eat and something nice for us grown ups. She is a fine cook and so i am not allowed otr do much cooking unless it is a BBQ as that is a mans domainQuote:

People choose hamburger over steak for sandwiches because mincing the meat causes it to break apart more easily when you bite into it. People don't want to chew through a chunk of steak when eating a hamburger.Quote:

Mincing it and then braising it makes no sense as the meat will break apart quickly and therefore not absorb the flavours which are part of the braising liquid, which is one of the two reasons you braise it in the first place (the other being that braising causes the fibers in the meat to break down and you get lovely soft, unctuous pieces of meat filled with the flavor of the braising liquid).
Nope, it's just wrong, sorry.
Oh and just to be clear, you don't add breadcrumbs to the meat before braising, right? That would be especially insane. :nod:Quote:
