    Sweet with meat is a winner, we've talked about this before guys don't waste thread on it.

    On my Watermelon Gin tonight again, woooosh it's good, it's Thursday but it's my Friday. I've made creamy cheese filled salmon fishcakes for tomorrow, simple, fecking messy but simple and plan on making veggie pizzas for lunch with my girl. Got to be a good Catholic for the day so no meat. So booze tonight YEAH!!??!

    Is that last bit a question?... I think the answer is the right one...

    We regularly make pizzas here too, generally on a Friday, not sure I could go vege only tho, tho miss 7 does...

    I hear you guys and mostly would agree. I'm not usually one for having my pudding on the same plate as my main course, but a bit of slow simmered dried fruit in a tagine does go remarkably well. For me, dried apricots are best and in general I really do not like apricots so that's a bit strange really. The only other time I enjoy fruit with meat is in a stuffing and then only with pork or lamb.

    Yep, same same - that vegetable tagine I made last week had some apricots in it, was good. No meat though.

    I also hate fruits in salads, though appreciate I'm not in the majority there. Can't stand apples and pears and sultanas appearing with my greens.

    Oh come on, not even pear, walnuts, blue cheese and rocket?!

    Yeah, I can handle that, but I'd probably mostly avoid the pear. The worst is orange. Get out.

    Corned beef is pre-brined. If you have a large piece cut across the grain into smaller chunks to get more coating on. Soak it for 12hrs in water with water changes every 4 hrs, cut fat off, slather with mustard and rub it with ground pepper corns, celery seed, mustard powder a bit of cumin, garlic powder and smoke at 250-275F. Take off and wrap in double foil with a little water inside, put back in and cook until 195F-205F internal depending on tenderness. Check by poking with skewer or toothpick. Once done remove and vent with foil pack open for 10 minutes then wrap back in foil, tea towel and rest in a chilly bin for a hour or so until slicing

    @voodoo One of the best salads I've ever had was at a place next to the highway in Hawaii maybe half an hour out of Honolulu, and it had mandarin segments in it. Spicy chicken, avo, salad leaves, red onion, capsicum and mandarin, and I think the dressing also had mandarin juice in it plus more heat. Delicious

    Orange and burnt fennel salad is also nice. And a well made waldorf salad takes me back to childhood

    Yeah, not because I ate them, but because of this:

    Disgusting. Would have been much much better without the orange

    Switch the orange for bacon

    Yes!!!

    Pretty sure this also works in any scenario involving an orange

    Where bacon is concerned, yes, the rest of your sentence wasn't necessary, but I have been down this road on here about bacon before.

    So I made this tonight. I didn't take a photo, as I fucked up the bit that gets the full red colour into it. Or maybe the spicy bean paste (we could only find "hot soybean paste") didn't allow it, I'm not sure.

    Anyway, it came out poo brown rather than firey red - the taste was still pretty good, though not as hot as we have had in restaurants

    Overall, I give myself a 5/10. Lots of room for improvement

    Sichuan Boiled Beef (水煮牛肉 - Shuizhu Niurou)

    Excited really isn’t a strong enough word to describe how thrilled I am to share this Sichuan Boiled Beef recipe with all of you! “Ecstatic" and "triumphant" might do a better job. It’s a great dish

    A bit of creative photography? Or the paste separates during cooking?

    Sounds nice all the same. we have customers in Sichuan and they do proper heat there.

    The fish soup with shitloads of dried chillies and szechuan peppercorns is crazy. Lip numbing

    Bit of salad talk. This thread has turned south.

    So, one last ditched attempt to fine a luxury meat tiday. So far tonight’s anniversary dinner has a half leg of lamb. Anybody got any awesome twist on it idea?
