Sounds a strange combination :unsure:

One of my favourite fish dishes for dinner this evening - fish (I'm using Megrim) stuffed with mushrooms and prawns and poached in white wine.
The cooking liquid is thickened with double cream and egg to make a sauce. Not suitable for those on a diet!

Liver casserole tonight. I know it's an acquired taste, but we like it. It's high in vitamins, nutrients and protein, but low in calories.

I like Liver , but not in a casserole.. I only like to cook it for a couple of minutes, so I often fry Lambs' or Ox liver.. and then chop it up in small pieces as I do with a couple of rashers of bacon, & add some kind of green veg , then add it to cooked Pasta.. mix in a flavourful sauce of some type.. ( no cheese)... .. ( this is my diet version of Mac & cheese ) :D
 
I love smoked bacon, though I don't care for Maple cured - much prefer Oak or Chestnut. Tonight it was the good old British classic of fish (Haddock) & chips. I make the batter with a dark ale (I prefer 'Hobgoblin') and seasoned self-raising flour.

I love calf liver (and veal) but it's hard to find here. I always look for it when I'm in Europe.
 
tonight ..I had crinkle cut oven chips and a slice of Spinach tortilla... I never eat oven chips... in fact I rarely even eat chips, when I do, I get them from the Chippy.. but it was so hot today, and I didn't have the chill box with me at the supermarket and I'd bought some mussels and some rump steak , and some Scottish smoked trout....and I needed some way to keep them cold in the car, so I bought a cheap bag of frozen oven chips.

When I got home, it seemed a waste to throw them out... but there was no room in my freezer so I just cooked a tray full, and had them with my tortilla.. I have to say I'm pleased I chucked 'em, cuz I didn't like them at all

I'm treating myself today.
I went to the meat market and bought a bourbon and peppercorn marinated rib eye steak.

It's been awhile since I've had a steak, just haven't been in the mood.
I'll be making Idahoan instant red mashed potatoes and asparagus.

Then, I'm going to lay around so it deposits in all my curves... :giggle:
 
I have to agree that most oven chips (French fries) are pretty terrible. However, Lidl and Aldi do sell quite an acceptable range of chunky Maris Piper chips. These are the only ones I will buy.

I'm cooking a slow roast half leg of lamb for dinner this evening. It's hogget from our friends flock of 'Ryeland' sheep. I must see if lambing has finished for this year.
 
Not today, probably tomorrow. I have the stuff to make a beef stew in the crock pot. Will split it up for the freezer. I love home made meals from the freezer, but getting rather tired of always making chili and chicken soup.
