MY LENTEN HELL!

As we hurtle towards Easter, yet another chance to give something up for Lent is slipping through my fingers!
Lent being from Ash Wednesday until Easter - that time when Christians practise self denial & charitable giving, now i'm all for giving to charity but some people take the self denial aspect as another form of new year resolution....anyway WHATEVER...as a man to whom giving up cigarettes was purgatory its got me thinking about some of my favourite foods it would be HELL to give up.
Here are about 20 i love (in no particular order) which i couldnt live without.......

CUMBERLAND SAUSAGE

From the butcher not the supermarket, in one piece not links, from Cumberland,Westmorland or Furness (Cumbria) but maybe as far south as Preston, as far north as Dumfries & east towards Hexham.



ROAST GARLIC
ROASTING GIVES GARLIC CLOVES A SWEET & MELLOW
FLAVOUR - ADD TO ROAST AUBERGINE, TO HOMEMADE
HUMMUS, USE TO THICKEN ROAST LAMB GRAVY OR
JUST SPREAD ON TOASTED CIABATTA.


GAME
Intense, rich, autumnal, strong & sweet -bacon wrapped pheasant roast pink,
braised red wine marinaded venison, roast wild duck juices mingling with orange
and watercress salad etc etc yum!

CHILLIES
With everything really.




Galaxy chocolate
I also love milk chocolate...& the
most creamy,smooth & delicious is
galaxy(in my humble opinion)





F A S T F O O D
Sometimes nothing else will do!

  1. Can you recommend a nice vegetarian sausage casserole that doesn't have a tomato sauce in it? Something with a tasty gravy or something spicy please! :)

  2. Hello juney
    not really i would just get a jar of something like pepper sauce or maybe a curry sauce of some kind sounds like a cop out but its easier & probably nicer than making a vegetarian gravy
