oooops fell asleep
it's really lovely it works beautifully with turkey or ham even with a supreme sandwich of cheese houmous chutney tomatoes........i suspect it would be great with any porky pastry products
It was hospital day....hours and hours of waiting to see a registrar who didn't really answer anything and made me go through my catastrophic medical history all over again for the zillionth time and took my blood pressure with a broken unit .
well worth sitting waiting for 3 hours

Never tried it, am I missing something? Not really keen on beetroot, my mum loved it and had it with practically every meal!

I know it drives me nuts, i already did last month with the consultant i've done it with registrars endlessly since 2009
seriously, i wrote 2 A4 pages of bullet points of all the procedures that i have had that have wrong and just handed it to the consultant. I should carry a copy and just hand it out to everyone...

THe beetroot one is lush, goes equally well with cheese or cold meat in a sarny or salad! It's mini twass' favourite. I'll eat any chutney!!
How frustrating at the hospital. A good idea to carry a printed dossier of your many medical disasters

It is well worth trying a jar tk! Perfect for the festive season
Eek writing cards! M&S had 50% off yesterday, also treated myself to a pyramid type musical biscuit tin, with shortbread biccies, and bought a musical biscuit tin with revolving baubles (jingle bells) for my dear old auntie. It will blow her mind.

Yes the oats vanish completely, you wouldn't even know they were in there. I use about a heaped tablespoon to a cassarole that would serve 3. I know its a bit odd to make 3 person quantities but it seems the natural outcome of using one large carrot, one large parsnip, one onion etc. I don't want to be stuck with half of a vegetable (although only used half a BN squash) and I tend to buy bigger root vegtables because there is less peeling involved.
I knew you would correctly interpret my Humpty Dumpty use of words; silky is exactly what I was getting at.
I will keep the port and stollen coming until January or until stollen is no longer on the shelves. The two really do complement one another perfectly. And I discover a sliver of cheese is the icing on the cake ..ermmm which is already iced.
I picked up a new bottle of port in Aldi when I went for more stollen. I was running low on my preferred M&S one and as I was in Aldi, I grabbed a bottle to tide me over. Turns out its almost as good and only half the price of M&S.
I have still got half a bottle of port from last year which was from Lidl and very nice. I forgot I had it

Interesting stuff I've never used oats in this way! I have used pearl barley as a thickener for things in the slow cooker. it gives a lovely shiny soft thickness to the sauce. If you cook it look enough it dissolves entirely.
i have bought myself a gammon joint *dum dum daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa*
am going to cook it either saturday or sunday (have got a load of swede in and some leeks really looking forward to it!)
and i'm looking through different recipes at the moment. I know you (Twass) recommended the coke one but i wanted to be a bit healthier than coke!
i figured i'd like to make a honey mustard glaze for when you do the baking part. don't know whether to do it in the slow cooker or just in a pan on the hob it's only a wee joint (750gm) to have a wee experiment with
SO any well tried recipes gratefully received!
I guess you could slow cook the gammon then finish in the oven planets! You could do it in some cider or apple juice perhaps?

yeah that's was i was thinking of doing Twass. Boil/slow cook with onion carrot peppercorns (or something different that someone else suggests!) then shove in the oven with a glaze of something like honey and mustard on
just wondered if anyone had any experience of lovely glazes or lovely ingredients to add to the water for the boiling part. Just to try something different really. I've been a bit unenthused about food this week and this is the first thing that's got me interested i'm drooling just thinking about it (it will be served with swede as that's the only thing i really want to eat at the moment!!!)

Other than coke, apple juice or cider I've not used anything other than water to cook a gammon in. As for the glaze, equal parts of marmalade, honey and dijon mustard used to be a fave of mine

Ooh! For oriental, how about putting some star anise in the cooking liquid, and adding soy sauce to the glaze? Not too much or it will be too salty

not sure
