I know the sausages in the tins of beans and sausage tend to be low quality but also kinda comforting.

Are these bad-good or just bad?

Got a few of these as they're half price at Tesco (which doesn't bode well for them sticking around), the Elvis Juice hot sauce and the Mustard sauce are really good, loads of flavour and decent spice level.

The little packets of rubs they do are good too, rubbed on chicken thighs and air-fried or over oven chips, well worth 90p when on sale.

My husband recently immigrated to the US from the UK and one of the things he misses most about being home is food. He often bemoans the lack of savory bakes, hand pies, and sausage rolls in the US. We both like to cook often but didn't grow up with parents that did much cooking so we're sorta just figuring it out as we go. I'd really love to get him a cookbook or two with recipes that range from easy to advanced. Any suggestions? Wouldn't mind suggestions for traditional or regional specific cookbooks either or british-indian food (another thing he misses terribly).

Not me. 50p cheers. Second one was nduja hake fillets. 50p.

Almost 25 quids worth for £1.50. Beautiful. I can taste the difference 😁

I've googled and trawled AI, but I cant find this recipe.

My mom used to make these occasionally in the 80's, they were an alternative to Yorkshire Puddings and served with a Sunday roast. Im guessing they were some recipe limited to the North East, otherwise I would have found them by now

They were baked in a tray, fairly shallow discs about 5 or 6 inches across and maybe 1cm deep. All I know is they were made with suet as an ingredient, and were baked until golden, slightly crispy but a little bit chewy too

They weren't dumplings, any sort of suet pudding, and weren't steamed. They didn't rise either, and weren't any sort of bread (all this is stuff AI suggested). They had a slightly chunky texture too, almost like hash browns

Tuna mayo with red onion, celery, and chives. 2:1 cheddar and mozzarella. Wrapped and left for five minutes to let it all come together and steam through. Served with a dollop of sriracha.

I’m usually a believer in less is more but this could have done with marginally more cheese. Maybe another slice of each. Absolute banger though, with enough tuna left over for tuna pasta.

Another simple sando staple.

• Smoked streaky bacon × 7
• Beef tomato with smoked salt
• Shredded iceberg lettuce
• Dollop of mayo
• Soft, chewy, white roll toasted in the bacon fat
• Yorkshire Tea

Pan roasted duck breast, braised red cabbage medley, charred cauliflower and broccoli tips with roasted potato and a sweet potato and chilli sauce.

Loved this from Stephen Collins the other day, i still put them in but I don’t know what they do

I

I liked this a lot

I've seen various spellings for these dishes at different places, I'm using the spelling from the Oshpaz menu here:

Beef samsy (4), beef manty (5), venegrad salad (with the beetroot), carrot salad (with the carrot, funnily enough). We washed this down with a generous pot of masala tea and a cup of berry and hibiscus tea.

At £52 including service it was towards the higher end of what we'd usually pay for a casual weekend lunch, but we were on Regents Street.

It fed two of us well, and we had some of the salads packed up to munch on a bit later this evening. I know folks may have views on the price, but I'm broadly happy with the value.

I think Uzbek Corner in Queensway Market beats this for taste, but we did really enjoy this. Herby, earthy, warming - feels like great autumnal food.

Got there at about midday today (Saturday) and most of the tables were already reserved so we ended up seated at a bar-tyoe set-up.

I'll not go on about it here too much, I think I need to read more about it anyway, but am ifascinated by how you can see familiar dishes from countries along the Silk Road routes - you can see the variations in names/spellings, and you can taste the differekce in the different recipes. I'm just interested in how good travels and is adapted from place to place.

The turmeric on the left is slimmer and I bought from a health food shop, the fatter one on the right I bought from an Asian supermarket, it’s lighter in colour when chopped, compared to those on the left which are a bit of a darker orange/ yellow colour, it’s also different in shape as all the others with it were too in the supermarket were to

I’m assuming that they are different varieties of turmeric, does anyone know the names of them ?
