The cookery thread

Thank you @cobra_gordo

Yep, this one is beef, with onions, breadcrumbs, eggs, and some herbs and spices. The topping is mainly ketchup, with some more spices.

Bunch of the work lot and friends are on super long shifts Bank Holiday weekend and I don't expect them to eat well at all, so spent the afternoon batch cooking Roast Dinners for the next few days. 

Naturally had to have mine tonight, and take a photo because its one of my better efforts.

I got an electric mincer. So obviously I made three and a half kilos of sausages...

I don't find time to make them as often as I'd like to (this is the first time this year) so this new device is really going to speed up the workflow and hopefully mean I get to make them more often.

Not cooked yet, but I fear this is as good as this dish is going to look. Haggis and Turnips. I might wing some potatoes in as well. Bottom of the pile Haggis this, second only to the tinned stuff which I have resorted to before. I've tried sneaking in some decent haggis from farm shops etc but the family won't have it, the cheaper the better for these weirdos. This is actually considered a treat in these parts, before anyone considers getting social services involved.

Haggis is delicious. Hope it turns out alright. I found that putting a big dollop of grain mustard in with the neeps gives them a lovely boost of flavour.

[Donald J Trump]

It turned out alright. Its safe to say that while it tasted great, the presentation was borderline offensive so I decided against taking a picture. Mustard in the neeps sounds tremendous, and definitely something I'll try when the pickier eaters are out the picture.

Not wishing to stray into the bap/roll/batch territory but that's a swede you've got there isn't it. A turnip looks like this. 

Swede big and yellow, turnip, small and white. Me vegetable racist it seems. 

[Donald J Trump]

It said swede in the supermarket, it said swede on the packaging. It looked like a swede, felt like a swede and tasted like a swede. For some reason, and it's completely unintentional, whenever I have swede I repeatedly refer to it as turnip. 

I've no idea why I do this, but yes, that is definitely a swede.

I can honestly say, I do make a good sandwich.  Pastrami, cheddar, home made Pickeles, salad, mayo and mustard on a Tesco finest sourdough baguette.

"If it's big & yella, you got a swede there fella. If it's small & white, that's a turnip alright."

Looks amazing. Not a sandwich.

[Chest Rockwell]

Wait, what is it then? Is there some weird sandwich gatekeeping rule I'm not aware of?

[Thunderplex]

Pray tell, if it is not a sandwich what in the blue hell is it?  Have I invented a new filling transportation system?  Should I patent it?

[deathrey]

Surely the rule is that if it's between two slices of bread then it's a sandwich?
