Tonight I'm out at a friend's house for dinner. A vegetarian. And not a good cook.  Was it as bad as you feared?  Almost, MJ. It started off surprisingly well with a nicely-rendered Delia starter - haloumi with capers and coriander. Nom. But then the most taste-free seafood paella I think I've ever had, with stodgy rice (no salt  ) with frozen peas mixed in, rubbery mussels and about one prawn each (sorry, prawn!). Non-nom. The only-partially-defrosted Waitrose cheesecake hardly made amends. Semi-nom. Is this a vegetarian who counts fish as vegetables??? If you're a Catholic then beaver and capybara would be OK too, since they're counted as fish for dietary porpoises  I never use salt when I cook rice, pasta, etc  |

I was going to echo Andy's comments too Marty  Ron, I have found plenty of Welsh Mutton on the Net but it means ordering a half sheep or a pack of it and I don't have a freezer. I only really want one joint and I did find a North Wales farm who will do this but the delivery charge is £14.50!! Unfortunately we lost our family butchers due to the big supermarkets moving in. It's difficult enough to get beef which has been hung for long enough either. Just one of those butchers left in the area which necessitates a round trip of 1 hour. Maybe I'll give them a ring and see if they stock mutton. My sister lives in South County Durham and she has a wonderful old established family butcher, stocks a lot of game of course (she's right on Arkengarthdale Moor), local venison from the Raby Castle herd, properly hung beef ...... NOM NOM NOM |

Sorry! I have used millet myself in cooking and I'm not a
It's nothing breathtaking: a little heavier than I had anticipated: certainly interesting; I think it'll become an ab-und-zu carb. source for me. Doubt I'll ever have more than one portion a fortnight though. |

NOM is the sound you make as you stuff something frantically into your choppers because it is so gobsmackingly wonderful. YUM is the sound you make immediately afterwards Tommo |

Yes, Tommo, that's what I had thought.
Another question (for everyone, not just Tommo): do canned tinned fruit still have a significant amount of their natural vitamins?

I'd think they probably had none at all, but I'm only guessing. |

Tommo
Or in anticipation, I think, for YUM? One complete cycle would thus be:
MMMMMM YUM YUM! NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM! YUM YUM OOOF
DREAMY YUM ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Repeat, ad nau libitum. |
