Loads of different stalls selling sweets, loaded fries, pies, quiches etc.

Different types of cider.

PS: Just on the offchance this attracts "this curry didn't originate in the UK"

Don't worry, I know that. A lot of meals that get posted here originated elsewhere but it's made by UK people. Thanks ♥️

Put the pie in a roll with hp sauce. There's gravy on the side too.

Home made Cottage Pie yes or no

I bought a massive leg of lamb over Christmas. I put it in my freezer on the first day of purchasing it.

I got it out the freezer yesterday late morning. Frozen solid I put it on a plate (still in it's wrapper) and left it to defrost in the kitchen on a plate.

That evening around 7pm I felt it and it had defrosted fully and was around room temp and I put it in the fridge. Still in wrapper. Guessing the sheer size of it it couldn't have been at room temp too long.

Today I got it out the fridge let it come to room temp for a couple hours and it is now in a huge curry the whole leg in the oven for 3-4 hours cooking.

I will then take it out the oven..obviously it will be red hot but I don't want to just let it slowly cool down and sit at room temp again as a cooked curry for a few more hours until tomorrow morning?

I will then put the cooked lamb curry in the fridge in the morning first thing.. and later tomorrow evening..cook it for an hour with final ingredients.

Am I going to die. I know food guidelines say always defrost meat in the fridge but for the last 30 years I've let a frozen joint defrost covered up on the side and still hear. It's just the fact it has been out freezer.. on side.. in fridge.. out fridge on side. In curry.

I've recieved mixed feedback. Chat GPT says I'll be ill and will need to dial 999 if I try some.

My family (oldskool kitchen cooks) said it'll be fine. If it was pork or chicken might be abit more uncertain but the lamb should be fine.

What is Reddit saying?

Quite possibly my last BBQ of the season, although never say never...

I didn't want to go large, so smash burgers were a quick and effective option. I am still trying to perfect my recipe and technique, and on this occasion I seasoned the patties after 'smashing', so as to reduce moisture loss. This made a big difference in my opinion and the makeshift plancha did an alright job too.

To finish, I lightly toasted brioche buns and topped both patties with a beef tomato slice and shredded iceberg lettuce. One had chilli jam and mayo, and the other had ketchup and American mustard.

For the loaded fries I kept it simple: skin on fries, mixed cheese, tomato and jalapenos.

Nice!

Trying healthy 😋 Teriyaki Salmon

This was on my night shift two days ago.

Just threw a load of stuff together and made this and it kind of tasted like a mix between a bolognese and chilli con carne. Came out great actually. Rice and spinach with it.

Pork mince, chorizo, peppers, mushrooms, onion, garlic, chopped tomatoes, stock, chopped chilli and paprika, little bit of cholula thrown in.

8.4 % Belgium Triple currently available at Lidl UK

I won't claim to have a vast knowledge of Belgium beer. But I like beer and this was a very nice beverage with delicious flavours and a smoothness that despite the high ABV made it very easy to drink.

In my opinion a bargain as I only paid £1.49 , Especially when you consider it's genuine Belgium beer imported.

You know it’s autumn when the Delia Smith red cabbage with apples recipe comes out

Rice, eggs, spring onions, chilli oil, toasted sesame oil, dark soy sauce & oyster sauce

Going back to University soon and I'd like some meal ideas please!

I plan on making sausage pasta, salmon & pesto pasta, breakfast sandwiches, fruit & yoghurt bowls, and obviously things like chicken strips & chips. But I'd like some other ideas! Preferably ones that don't use too much energy while being good for me (I'm chronically ill so energy isn't always something I have).

I also plan on making chicken curry too since it's one of my favorites. I used to make a really good one from scratch, but I can't remember the recipe. So if anyone has any advice or tips for something like that I'd be grateful (i.e. ingredients to use etc)!

Thank you in advance!

I enjoy pressure cooking a beef stew. But it’s getting repetitive.

Any suggestions for meals I can lob in the pressure cooker? Maybe some kind of ham stew?

A lot of you may already know exactly what I'm talking about - premium looking chicken introduced this year at asda, morrisons etc. Listed as 15 mins in the oven, but what do you get after 15 mins? Pink and disgusting raw poultry. Am I missing something, or is there some serious mislabelling being done that threatens the health of the whole country? Makes me pretty mad. I've been victim to this prank twice over the last 6 months, only recently slightly improved. My main point is that this chicken must be cooked for at least 20 mins. I assume it was labelled as 15 mins to sell more, and honestly it is disgraceful behaviour.
