£10 for rump, £11.79 for sirloin, and £13.49 for ribeye, all with chips, one mushroom, half a tomato, peas and onion rings in our local - and that's quite cheap for round here.
What did you cook/eat today (August 2017)?

I reckon we were paying a fiver in Bigger in 1975 for Aberdeen Angus rump and I don't think we even got one mushroom! It was 16 oz. though.
Doggy bags were very popular then.
Yes it does rather - but I can assure you it is quite delicious. Here is what it contains:
Water, Pork (22%), Seasoning (Oats (18%), Cornflour, Wheat Flour (Wheat Flour, Calcium Carbonate, Iron, Niacin, Thiamin), Salt, Yeast Extract, Dehydrated Onion, Wheat Protein, Onion Powder, Spices, Spice Extracts, Herb Extract), Oats (9%), Pork Fat, Pearl Barley, Beef Blood Powder.

The prices I quoted are for 8 oz steaks. A 16oz rump steak is about £15.

I fixed some country-style ribs with gravy in my roaster this AM, we had mashed potatoes and sweet peas & corn with it.
Had a peanut butter sandwich and some watermelon for supper.

After stuffing myself with pizza last night, I thought I'd better have something a bit lighter today. So, omelette it was, with tomatoes, onions, and parsley with a thick slice of homemade bread and a liberal helping of brown sauce, most of which seemed to have run down under the omelette. BTW the plate in the photo is not flat - it is a good old-fashioned soup plate. The omelette was a lot bigger than it looks in the pic 
. I've been chomping on fresh blackberries too.

I have today discovered that my Western food supplier has some Emborg blue on special offer. I suppose US$ 22.00/kg would be expensive in UK or US but it's cheaper than the US$ 32.00/kg normal going rate here.
I've ordered 100 gms for delivery this coming Friday.

I'm of Polish descent. My great aunt lived with us while I was growing up. She would make this wonderful soup that she told me was made from solid milk chocolates. When we got a box of chocolates, I'd carefully pick out all of the solid chocolate ones and give them to my Nana so that she could make soup. Even gave her my candy bar, if I got one for a treat. She'd make the soup and I would just eat it up! One day when she was out, the butcher's assistant delivered a package to my Mom. Inside was a duck and a quart container of something liquid. I asked Mom what that was for. "Czernina", she replied, using the Polish word. "But Mom, what IS the liquid?" "Duck blood".
That is the day I learned that "Czernina" is Polish for "Duck's Blood Soup"...Nana lied. I never gave her my chocolate again.

Needless to say, no Czernina for supper here. Using up what I have so we can leave with an empty (for me) refrigerator, I made Italian sausage fried up with onions and bell peppers; fried the leftover noodles with a bit of butter, seasoned with Italian herb blend and granulated garlic, generously topped with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano; and cut corn off of freshly cooked corn on the cob. Cantaloupe and ice cream for dessert. White wine nw, just because. 
It's my "alcohol rubdown" from the inside-out, after a very busy day.

This is hysterical!
Did you ever eat the Czernina again?- Status
