What's amusing your bouche later?

Even if you ignore the potential for heavy-metal poisoning, Basa is disgusting - utterly tasteless with a mushy consistency (however you cook it) - it exists solely as a vehicle for whatever sauce you use to disguise the (lack of) flavour.

We're having a Roast Free Range Chuck with all the usual accompaniments - and a bottle of Herr Lidl's excellent Western Cape Shiraz - a serious bargain (it's the one with the elephants on the label).

I found a large slab of swordfish in the freezer yesterday, it'll be delicious, don't know what with, hollandaise doesn't really go.

Mustard mayonnaise, Zebo - works a treat - no cooking, just whisk some Dijon Mustard into some mayo.

Probably some Birdeyes' battered fish (they don't give too much resistance apparently ;-) Nice 'n' simple shove them in the oven.

I was contemplating pork belly - but too slow a cook for a Friday evening and am out and about.....so a plate of thick-cut pork chop is a compromise - a braised chicory with it as well and perhaps some mush (both normal and 'exotic').

@12.38 Everyone to their own taste sunny. farming fish is turning out to be a lot safer than ocean caught fish. First off, should they allow any sort of contamination to find its way onto the farm, their done for.
Its a proven fact now that our sea fish are consuming micro plastics.

I've decided to make pork and beef meatballs...easiest meat to defrost fairly quickly. Now I need to decide...Asian or Mediterranean inspired?

[gingejbee]

^^pasta....Mexican-inspired for me, please.

Asian all the way, Pasta.

SD - I had a sublime Uruguayan red sometime around my birthday, from an independent wine Merchant. I'll try and find out the name.

@ 13.15 lets but hope, but time is a big factor before fish stocks disappear. But we all really know what the real answer is, and it don't look as that is going to happen any time soon.
