Up the bum - no babies!!!
Today I will be having ROAST DUCK, people! 
The stuffing turns out to be apricot and orange btw..not sure how nice/nasty that'll turn out to be but whatever, more to go on the plate can only ever be a good thing.
Roast potatoes, asparagus, gravy and maybe leeks in white sauce to go with it.

not for me laddy, its about 331 miles south of auld reekie!
Chicken, hacked up to remotely similar sized chunks, in a roasting tray with chunks of potatoes, onions, parsnips, carrots, garlic and turnips/swedes (delete according to your naming preference) then I added ground ginger and ground coriander seed and ground cumin and a few cardomom pods and fennel seeds and black mustard seeds and a squirt of lemon juice and a dollop of oil and mixed it all up
It's in the oven now, on a low temperature to cook for the rest of today and the smell is driving me round the boody twist. I might actually have to go out, to stop me attacking it before time.

I just used butter/normal flour, because I'd made it earlier. But supposedly bread flour, lard and margarine is the one to go for.

lard 
last night i went to wetherspoons for 'fish friday'. Their servings are MASSIVE and i felt oily and greasy and wrong inside after. It was really nice though
I was quite suprised.

yeah the marg/lard combo is a long standing one but i wonder if it can be adapted in the 'olivio' era to be less foccussed on artery clogging saturated fats?

i recently bought 2 melton mowbrays from the shop (they were discounted) and they are fantastic. i bought 2 more just now. i have long avoided pork pies but probably cos ma bought cheap crap ones.

i had a hot pork pie once in Chatsworth - man that is tasty - all the jelly melts into a delicious gravy.
malatesta32
Not Serb. No, Really!
yeah, they have to be hot. with cold ones the middle - a sort of pink hockey puck - falls out and its unpleasant. what about gravy on em tho?
Orang Utan
Psychick Worrier Ov Geyoor
i never thought to eat them hot til i tried that on. i always eat them cold.
i wouldn't bother with gravy as the melted jelly serves well enough.
malatesta32

its the jelly melting that makes em palatable. i was having a chat with me lass and we agreed that anything 'en jellee' is off-putting be it eggs or rabbit, terrines etc. cold jelly looks tooo surgical.
