It looks a lovely meal Tim :)
Did you identify the base? £3.50. Some Butchers give them away!!
Bacon bones?
Looks like breast of lamb to me.
After 3 hours cooking in 5 Spice & veg!
Then boned & pressed. Served with the strained stock reduced to syrup. And mashed Root Veg & Kale!!
I say it again - you eat so well in your house - how come you are not the size of michelin man ;D perhaps you are and that pic of yours isn't you at all :o
Breast of lamb is one of my all time favourites, got to be cooked slowly, whatever you do with it.
And yes, some butchers (or at least producers) do give it away, it's a crying shame really, for the flavour, even when cooked plainly, is so very good.
I started with an advantage, Calendula - just dug this out recently
I adore slow-cooked food. It is cheap to buy the ingredients but have reasoned with the high cost of fuel these days that fillet steak could become a less expensive meal.
I buy breast of lamb. I boil it up to loosen all the bones and fat.
Dice all the meat I can get off it and then use it as a base for a lamb curry.
My butcher unfortunately sells his breasts of lamb to me though.. I pay up to £3.50 for them.

great looking group, are they all still with us - love the doggy as well
my father was a cameraman throughout the war and I have a fab collection of films and photos that I look at often. Much of the british stuff is his, D-Day, signing of the peace treaty and so much more - lovely pic
sorry to hi-jack the post, the food is gorgeous too ;D
Girlie - yes, I think I boiled mine for several hours, before shredding & shapiing.
Calendula - with that sort of information, keep hi-jacking!! Would love to know the name on PM?
"With us"? Regrettably, all gone. Lovely, worthwhile people. I only survived by being put out of action early on.

I give up, Tim- which one are you?
A neat photo!
NOT Calendula's 'Michelin Man'. The tall lanky one!!
And by the way, thanks for asking. Checking that my name - on the photo - was in my profile e-mail address, noticed that I was FEMALE. Soon put a change to that!!
