"Black cumin" stands for two different spices: Nigella sativa seeds; also known as "Black seeds" (the blue flowering plant in Morning Glory's post) or Bunium bulbocastanum/Bunium persicum seeds (pic below). Link to an article.

I had some lovely spaghetti bolognese from the Italian restaurant, but it didn't get to have a flattering photo. Currently I am not cooking very much so don't always have pics to share. But it was a nice dinner.

It's eating on the cheap at this time of year - probably no more that £4/head for the whole meal.

Cheaper still mate if you go out at night with a flashlight and an extending branch cutter. Epic mate why does everyone look at the pecuniary side of the dish. I was referring to. "high on the hog. It alludes to the choicest cuts of meat, which are found on a pig's upper flanks. [ Late 1800s] "
