They were delicious.
Didn't have Tarragon, so used part Sherry & part Cider vinegar. Different but fine.

Ooooooh, Tim!  I didn't say a word!!!

That looks absolutely delishous, I'll give that a try.  One of the comments on the recipe mentioned that it tasted a bit too vinegary, so maybe your adaptation was the right one.

:) :) :) :) :)

OK,OK, I won't write 'burnt', but....like your food well-cooked do you, Tim? ;)

Not to say that the dish isn't well cooked, tho...it looks v. toothsome 8)

It was a slip, Lishka!! The flip side was fine.

Just by the way - Mustard? We have plenty. Use masses in Devilled Chicken. Three tins in fact.

Oh dear, something's gone wrong with our prioritisation. BBE '84, '85 & '85!!! Well, they were in the back of the bottom cupboard & I find it difficult to get down there these days. So had to use made mustard.

The Ham cakes were the end of our Xmas Ham. Plus Potato, Onion, Egg, Worcestershire Sauce, Parsley.

Memories of Christmas?......how good are they!

Couldn't resist the ribbing tho ::) and it's good to see you posting your pictures again!!!

when i was a chef we had a saying in the kitchen  When its brown its cooked when its black its f**ked :-X but if it tastes fine and youre not paying top money for it there no reason to waste good tasting food ::)

Like other things that way - [attachment=1]

And Toast!

The Cakes - plus, of course, Celery tops & Chilli flakes.

I remembered the pic of the soss from before ::) ;)......

So...in summary, I think we can safely assume that at Casa Elkington you like your food crisp, with a bit of a crunch to it and well-coloured?

And tasty. Your recipes are always tasty 8)

Remember that the soss black is Caramel, not burnt meat!!

;D ;D ;D

the non veggies here have their sausages burnt caramalised.

If at first you don't succeed.........!!

Tim

Do you do all the cooking or your wife?

Whichever - I think that you seem to eat very well - your pictures of your meals always look fantastic - and yes sausages - when I used to eat meat were better blackened!

Whereas She did it for most of our lives, with 4 children, having been retired for 5 years I have to keep myself out of the Pub. And I have always loved it. Even cooking for the Army on exercises!! As said earlier, in the 20s we had a cook. She allowed me to experiment.
Father would have been as good a chef as he was a soldier & market gardener. American Grandmother brought innovation. Mother was talented.
I've been fortunate.

And I enjoy food!
