I'm not even motivated to eating even the ones I make.... Difficult to get good mince here, but the ready made angus burgers are wonderful. $3.50 for 1 pattie is good value too. Cooking on a lotus grill at the moment, want a weber if i move to a bigger balcony next year.

It's a bloody good yardstick to use isn't it. One good thing about buying from the producer is that you usually get chance to try before you buy ?

Bearman Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Turbot, I made a tin foil pyramid, and cooked whole in the oven with some lemon juice and dill, served with asparagus and new potatoes. I hardly touched the veg as the fish was pretty big. A mate caught a few and gave one to me, I dread to think how much it would have cost in a fishmongers.

Tongs ya bas Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Here's a thing and it costs next to nothing, and it gives you working class street cred as well Get a cucumber. Peel it and slice it into discs. Get an onion peel it and slice it into rings. Put them in a bowl and mix them up. Get some bog standard malt vinegar, no balsamic, red wine etc type vinegar allowed and I'm serious when I say that. Put the vinegar into the bowl until it covers the onion and cucumber. Strictly no seasoning. You now have an accompaniment to meat hot or cold, meat on a sandwich, salad, and with pie and peas and so on. When the onion and cucumber is used up. You can replenish the vinegar by adding more onion and cucumber. Or you can use the by now onion infused vinegar on your fish and chips. I love this stuff and I can't walk past the bowl without snagging a slice of onion or cucumber. It reminds me of my gran. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's perilously close to pickling, which is very big in metrosexual restaurants these days. For a version of the above condiment with more of a kick, maybe you could try adding sliced radishes. Either the little red'n'white ones, or the bigger white ones like daikon/mooli. Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

Cabbage (red or white) would hold up better, structurally, and add more flavour/texture of its own to the mix.
