What's Cooking Today??

I to enjoy shiny mushroom soup but add cream in mine but I try a courgette in mine next time ,I eat them often in stews today I going to do a celery soup also a leek and potato soup

 

Smoked for about 4 hours then finished in the oven. Beef rib was lovely, first time I've tried one cooked this way. I put the other two in the fridge last night and portioned them out this morning for freezing

 

Hi that sounds delicious it brings back memories my dad used to smoke some foods one of his favorites was buy a bacon or meat joint smoke it about 4-6 hours then eat it.with Sauerkraut it was so tasty wonderful memories also he smoked freshwater fish as he enjoyed fishing

 

A delivery from the chip shop today

 

Steak pie, roasties, carrots, peas, runner beans, broccoli and gravy......it was yum!

 

Our lovely fish and chip shop is closed until 15 February. We have lots of others (on coast) but this one is worth waiting for.

 

That looks delicious @Hanglow !

I wonder how BBC Good Food magazine (we subscribe) would manage their favourite tip "make it vegan by..." (Usually by swapping real ingredients like Parmesan cheese for a vegan substitute or simply by leaving out any ingredient that is in the dish for flavour or consistency. )

Vegan dishes are great, but awkward swaps and superprocessed "lookalike" substitutes are not I think. Vegan "bacon"... really? I like my beans as beans thank you. And cooking or baking vegan is an obstacle course, vegetarian is much much easier and cheaper. Who remembers that honey is not vegan?

Ham & Camembert toasties with salad in the Selleri household today We would wash it down with Prosecco but are unable to open the bottle

 

You can get vegan sausages so why not bacon?

Back in the 70s there wasn't any of those substitutes around. My sister in law and my brother is vegetarian, she had to make dishes from scratch. I'm not vegetarian and i stayed there once and she made millet rissoles, but they were very tasty.

Today it's roast beef with jacket potatoes and all the veg with gravy.

 

Most of the time it's probably people starting to be a Veg or Vegan but don't really want to give up the meat so they have a lookalike, we tried to cut out having corned beef once a week but couldn't find anything that tasted good, eventually we did find a veg mince but they stopped producing it, so we went back to mince beef but a leaner one.

 

I tried veggie tuna once, I thought it was disgusting, I dont each much meat and find it annoying when I say that, and people say, oh you must be vegetarian then.

No, I'm not a veggie and I don't think I ever will be judging by the stuff they sell that is vegan or vegetarian, I just have a limited liking of meat products.
But I often get the impression that is not allowed when going to restaurants.

 

We don't go to restaurants so wouldn't know. They say that go veggie or vegan to save the planet but i disagree. If i did i wouldn't buy those products, I'd do it from scratch but more time consuming.

 

I did look at veggie Bacon once and thought, really
