(Don't ask, ex from a long time ago, Ive slept on a couch in the living room since she decided to move back in when all the isolation stuff started last year.) Then she made it worse, by saying that she made the future Mr husband of Ex Mrs Captain slog the same, and he put cheese and beans on them. He's a cockney in London, but even so. I can't wait till all the lockdown stuff is over, she's away, and @Dorothy is allowed to arrive and make me proper stovies with one of the recipies on the preceding pages.

Byyy The Light Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 On 25/01/2021 at 21:51, Cade said: Onions. 1 decent sized one per person. Potatoes. Plenty. Beep Dripping. More than you think is healthy, then add some more. Left over roast beef. Put a large, heavy-based pan on a low heat, melt the beef dripping in it. Chop or slice the onions as you see fit. Cut potatoes into big chunks. Add onions to the pan and slowly cook them until translucent. Chuck in the spuds. Salt heavily. Stir it around until everything is well coated. Add just enough water to cover. Stir well again. Very gently simmer until the potatoes begin to fall apart. In the final few minutes of cooking add the sliced or chopped left over roast beef, just to warm it through. Serve in bowls. 🍆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My current favourite is actually the Speyside stuff, but it doesn't contain enough fat to cook the entire fry up in. On the plus side, the lower fat content means that you don't have to fry it as it holds together on a grill rack and doesn't just dissolve and fall through into the grill tray. Personally, I find charles MacLeods (he was always known as Charlie barley, that's how everyone up here refers to his shop) nowhere near as good as the 2 other main butchers in town. MacLeod and macleod is 1, has a slightly more peppery taste, and my favourite, w j mcdonalds (owned by 3 brothers, I a massive jambo). For charlie barley, I think he marketed his puddings off island better than the other 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For charlie barley, I think he marketed his puddings off island better than the other 2. I got hold of some of MacLeod and MacLeod stuff when I was up in Crieff in the autumn there. It had less of an onion flavour than Charles MacLeod's but was still tasty if a bit too fatty. I'll try and source some W J McDonalds when I get back to Scotland. 👍 It seems to be Charlie barley stuff that's ubiquitous in Edinburgh. He must've spent a fair wedge on marketing his product, but he'll have done bloody well out of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His marketing started off free of charge, someone once took it onto ready steady cook and announced it as charlie barleys stornoway black pudding. Once the name was out there, he already had a head start on the others. When I travel down to family, it is always w j Macdonald puddings I deliver. I really should hire a transit van and make a fortune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really should hire a transit van and make a fortune. You should. I had a mate who would do something similar. He lived in Edinburgh but would travel up and down Scotland with work. He knew all the best wee butchers and various shops all about the place, so would take orders in the pub for whichever specialty was served up wherever he knew was going to be. Sadly passed away last year. Good guy and PHM. ❤️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody hell, if the police stopped me they would think I was an Ann sunners sales rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously - cheese and beans on veggie stovies? Sorry but I do have to ask. Why have you allowed your ex-wife to move into your house, take your bed and make you sleep on the couch for almost a year, when she's engaged to some other bloke?

Maple Leaf Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Yesterday I made stovies ... OK, it was corned beef hash for you purists ... but I made a change which I think might be even more offensive. I didn't peel the tatties. I just scrubbed them, then chopped them up, skins an' a'. Then I actually enjoyed them. Do I have any hope for redemption? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I’m going old school with my stories I’ll peel them and make sure they’re the type that will crumble as they cook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
