What did you cook or eat today (October 2020)?

Why do you miss them, they must be easy to obtain in Shropshire?We don't get involved in christmas per se but for our close friends in the UK (7) we would make food gifts. We would bake the cakes in Jan, pin and vacuum pack with Osborne Brandy. Then finish in December. Normally I used a jam jar as a mold for the pies. Gala style made more sense for a chrimbo gift. The major player in a good pie in my opinion is the jelly. We may revisit our tradition this year.View attachment 47578

I'm still on the low carb DIET Shropshire makes the finest pork pies, and believe me, I have done extensive research on the subject. Powells of Whitchurch are my favourite, and only half an hour away. Jones the butcher in Overton makes a good pie and is even closer. When I'm on my travels I always seek out (make that 'used to') local butchers and sample their pork pies. I've even had a go at making my own. Weakening my resolve would open the floodgates! Maybe at Christmas..

Buttermilk mashed potato means you have used buttermilk with them? If so, I’ll give it a try for sure!

It's never going to look pretty - it's brown food, but it tasted good. 6 hour cooked shin of beef, no knives required.

I had leftover rib roast, sliced and warmed in the gravy, and made into a sandwich. Sorry, no picture.

Did you soften the garlic in hot water first or just pour the hot vinegar over them?

I softened it by covering them with boiling water then left until cool. Peeled and used room temp vinegar. I like a bit of crunch.

Yes. MrsT has asked for more roast cabbage today, so I'll oblige.

I love a good hotpot and I'm also hoping this is an entry for the current challenge.

First proper Sunday lunch for three weeks. Sous vide pork shoulder with cider and mustard gravy.

Served with apple and sage stuffing balls, celeriac and Stilton puree, sprouts

and parsnip and chorizo croquettes.

That looks really good!

But, I'm a bit confused. I thought hotpot was a Chinese food, where you dip meats and stuff into a hot "pot" of broth to lightly cook it.

This is the only pot of hot that I'm familiar with:
