Beef. Then chicken or ham. I don't like duck, lamb or pork. I only like turkey roasted. I only like mild fish and don't do seafood.
I love veg and I'm not fussy re herbs/spices...I like Chinese, Indian, Italian, Thai, Mexican etc. It's just the type of meat I'm fussy about.

I got a gammon joint today and I boiled it...............I changed the water after 5 minutes hoping to lose the saltiness but the stock was still too salty to use for soup so i chucked it away
I've had a few slices off the joint and it's very nice.............more like ham than bacon or pork
Ham salad for me every day for the foreseeable future............
That's the main problem for a single person buying joints............you end up eating the same thing every day for a week..............but I'll vary the salady bits and the dressing to give a bit of variety
Can't choose a favourite. I like most meats apart from anything too gamey. But love chicken, lamb, beef, turkey and pork. Just depends what mood I'm in and what I've had in the days preceding. Couldn't eat the same thing every day.

If you're organised enough, soak the gammon for a couple of hours at least in cold water (changing the water a few times if you can) - this removes more salt. Then boil it for 30-45 mins depending on weight, the roast for an hour or so, glazing it about 20 mins before the end. Yummy.

I normally go for pork if I'm slow roasting a shoulder joint, but I picked up a lamb shoulder yesterday and roasted it today. It was great - it fell apart and went really well with some mash.
been veggie for as long as I can remember but when I was a kid I LOVED pork chops.
thats the only meat I miss

I got a beef roasting joint at sainsbury yesterday..............they're on special off this week. Half price
So it was about £5.70 for a 1.1 KG chunk
That's going to last me at least 5 days i should think............probably more if I make a curry with the last bit
