The whats on the menu thread

Not kangaroo but ostrich both here and abroad. It became quite the thing about 10 years ago and several farmshops sold it but I have not seen it as much now. I thought it was OK, but rather dry. It needs a good sauce to make it work, I think.

Anyone tried such meat as Kangaroo, or Ostrich?.Our local butcher has recently started to sell it, and I was wondering what they taste like, or any other unusual meats?.

Whatever ISS have on offer in the mess, which can be a bit of a lottery 😉

I usually enjoy cooking the “traditional” Sunday lunch at lunchtime, but do find as the days get brighter and warmer I prefer making something lighter and eating at dinner time. Next Sunday it’s Sunday lunch at a local hostelry – a good unfussy pub, where you will not find the word “gastro” within a mile!:eagerness:

We dined on Quiche yesterday!! 🙂 onion bhajis and ‘nibbles’ for lunch, not your usual Sunday dinner I suppose !

What I had for Sunday dinner today:

Roast belly pork (with some perfect, crispy crackling – very important part of a pork dinner!)
Stuffing (think it was sage and red onion)
Yorkshire pudding (obligatory part of Sunday dinner!)
Mash potato (with butter and milk in)
Brocolli.
Roast potato.

Tomorrow’s dinner will be similar but without the Yorkshire pudding and the brocolli will be mixed in with peas.

I do all the cooking in our house plus maintainance, my wife did all the rest until she dislocated her arm and snapped the tendons, now I do the lot. Shows what an easy time I had up until now. Roast Pork with all the trimmings tomorrow. I have farmed out all the washing and ironing to an Asian chap who runs a laundry though!

Having spent many years not cooking i got chucked in at the deep end when the wife badly broke her ankle/leg a couple of weeks or so before Christmas .She only got out of hospital just before Christmas day unable to move.My first meal was a sunday roast then Christmas dinner YIKES.Now i can do the basics and quite enjoy it but working shifts i am very rarely at home for meals with the family.Tomorrow will be roast chicken sunday meal.

Cooking is good for the soul and clears my head.

I have a large lump of venison in the freezer and did consider that for tonight, but I think that deserves more attention.

Any other blokes here enjoy cooking??

Cooking and gardening for me and a long cycle ride if the weather is clement.

Yes, very much. And there is always venison in the freeezer here too. I enjoy casseroles and stews because you can make it up as you go along. I’ve got a rabbit casserole in mind for next weekend.

And I really enjoy something as simple as scramnbled eggs, and getting it right, well whipped to get the air into the eggs and don’t spare the butter!

I may well have known ONE of a certain few would have started this Post.
Tomorrows dinner, will be a brace of pheasants, together with a bread sauce, roast potatoes, sliced parsnips, but, with a twist, fried bread crumbs.Possibly with a side salad, but definately with a bottle of Chardonnay.:very_drunk:

Well the liver and bacon casserole is in the old cast iron caserole dish marinating.
We have to eat early tonight because we’re going to a quiz night.

I find cooking a really good diversion from the rest of my life.
I can easily eat, sleep and drink motors and engines if you know what I mean. I think I’m obsessive to be honest.
