New discoveries
Thought it might be interesting for people to report on good new things (recipes, products) that they've come across.
My contribution is San Pellegrino sparkling grapefruit drink http://www.sanpellegrinofruitbeverag...n/pompelmo-226 It's really refreshing and different. And I made this soda bread yesterday (I did add salt). It was better than I thought it could be and it really was very easy: http://agirlcalledjack.com/2013/07/0...sy-soda-bread/ |

Giovanni Rana filled ravioli. I don't know how long it's been out but I've only just tried them and I was very impressed!

I'll definitely look out for that. Sounds right down my street.
Oh, yes, they're great. Their parmesan sauce is pretty good, too but the stuffed pasta is one of the best I've come across (for bought). |

My recent discoveries have been a lot more prosaic as I've decided to lose some weight and eat a lot more vegetables, in fact have a vegetarian meal as my main meal of the day..........so my new things are savoy cabbages, broccoli, frozen peas, various green beans, tinned pulses and beans for 'padding' in curries and stir fries
also rice cakes for snacks........I didn't think they would be so nice ! |

I've had something new today........tea !
Well obviously not entirely 'new'. I've never been a tea drinker......I suppose I must have drunk it when I was a child in the family home and maybe when I was a student in digs.......but I haven't consciously drunk tea for probably 30 years I don't know why but I picked up some teabags today at the shop and I've had 3 cups of tea ........

I love the blood orange one they do and the lemon. I generally find any drink non diet as too sweet but these aren't.

Things like butterbeans are fantastic for soaking up the flavours in both casseroles and salad dressings.

The sauce was awesome! http://www.quorn.co.uk/recipes/veget...beef-teriyaki/ (Noodles, onion, mushrooms and red pepper in a teriyaki etc sauce). Also, not tasted it yet, but we found Cornish Cruncher Terrine With Red Onion Marmalade in Marks and Spencer. |

I know it's sacrilege but I bought some Parmalat bechamel sauce to make a moussaka instead of making my own and it was really good (well, good for what it was):

Gochujang chilli paste, I bought some for a korean fried chicken recipe a while ago and its brilliant. Its sweet and hot with a distinctive asian flavour with anise, garlic and soy flavours. Great as a condiment but I'm keen to try it other recipes too. I've seen it online and I believe many of the big supermarkets stock it, but I got mine from asiana express in Leicester for about £3 a tub. It goes along way too.
This is the recipe I used it for http://www.thebritishmenu.com/crispy...fried-chicken/ |

Two more
Sicilian Merinda tomatoes. Taste different. Hard to describe but lovely. http://italianfood.about.com/od/vege...ri-Merinda.htm and M&S Ancho Chilli Relish It's not hot but the best relish from a jar I've had for ages. I'm going to use some next week to make a pasta sauce with fresh tomatoes and yoghurt (made a dip like it because we had no dip a couple of days ago when needed and we just thought it would work as a sauce). http://veggies.co.uk/tag/ms-ancho-chilli-relish-vegan/ |

Thank you very much, kind words
I love homity pie, its one of those dishes that doesn't try to be vegetarian if you get what I mean.
