To me that is perverse, you don't make meatballs out of a duck In case you were wondering which I don't think you were - no, that's unutterably perverse to me too. And I speak as a devotee of all things Duck. |

Eru, that sounds well plausible. Nothing wrong with tinned toms, either. Even St Nige recommends tinned for sauces.  I used non-tinned toms for dinner tonight (they looked very good) but was very disappointed by the lack of depth of flavour. Best fresh tomatoes for cooking I've ever used come from my own garden. But that's a psychological thing. I imagine that they're sort of on a par with my parents' tomatoes. To me that is perverse, you don't make meatballs out of a duck In case you were wondering which I don't think you were - no, that's unutterably perverse to me too. And I speak as a devotee of all things Duck. But at the same time... I don't know it sounds like it might work? [ducks behind sofa - ah good! I was wondering where dinner got to!] |

I am glad you used Welsh Lamb of course! 'British', certainly, rather than New Zealand, which was the alternative.  Did they hold together while cooking? I usually mix in an egg to bind them, and perhaps lightly flour them to too. Mostly; there were a few stray bits of onion around, but of course they all just contributed to the sauce. |

Well if you're up for a helping of Duck Balls hh I certainly won't stand in your way. But isn't the texture such a huge part of the joy of duckiness? |

I'll have to confess it's been a while since I ate any duck, and the last duck I ate was a mallard, which isn't quite the same thing as a farmed duck. Sorry, correction - that should read cooked. I've eaten some of those miserable duck wraps that look like such a good idea at the time but actually aren't. I was eyeing a duck lustfully in the supermarket the other day but it was £10 and I'm not on a full-time celery. I'm sure it would have done for a glorious few meals but it just seemed too extravagant. |

Can we talk sandwiches? I really miss the big fellas I used to get when living in the States.* Variously called Subs, Grinders, Heros, and Hoagies, amongst many other geographically inflected names... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_sandwich...these were sandwiches you can feast on. Not just 'cos they're big. They are made-to-order, fresh and delicious. Anyone been to 'Subway' in the UK? Piffle. Pale imitations. My fave was the classic Philedelphia cheesesteak Sub:  (Good quality) steak, cheese, onions, peppers, fresh baguette. Nomorama. And here's the place I would frequent at least once every week in Princeton:   Do forgive this little trip down martle-memory lane. But I LIKE a hearty sandwich. I do. * Please no, Tommo, please?? |

 Oh I'm sorry. I appear to be lost. This isn't the Picture Association thread is it? But I LIKE a hearty sandwich. I do. I frequently garner raised eyebrows as people comment sarcastically 'have you got enough sandwiches there?' so I go for quantity not size. Perhaps I am doing it wrong. Martle - you could always make one of those little beauties yourself... Would be cheaper and probably you'd feel happier eating it because you know exactly what's gone in it, and, while it isn't exactly freshly made, I have extreme doubts about how long some of the salads have been sitting in the trays in some of these places. |

harmomy harmony, snork to you too!
But sandwiches are the biggest rip-off ever. £2.75 for two slicess of bread, and some indifferent filling when for the same outlay you could buy a loaf and ingredients, store in the fridge at work and be happier, wealthier and healthier.

It strikes me that there are letters in my name that would be more appropriate in reverse order... harNOMyharNOMy or perhaps I'm as the crab yNOMrahyNOMrah I have a craving for crisp sandwiches now but I don't have any bread in the flat. But sandwiches are the biggest rip-off ever. £2.75 for two slicess of bread, and some indifferent filling when for the same outlay you could buy a loaf and ingredients, store in the fridge at work and be happier, wealthier and healthier.
Absolutely. Those are sound principles. All I have to master now is how to stop my fridge completely ruining my salad veg. |

Anyone been to 'Subway' in the UK? Every branch seems to have a terrible smell emanating from it. |

Their Stayfresh bags are a bit on the pricey side, but they work, and they are reusable so not as expensive as you might think. Stayfresh bagsThey also do a plastic lettuce knife which apparently stops the edges turning brown. I haven't got round to buying one yet - the delivery charge puts me off placing small orders on the Lakeland website. I generally wait until I am visiting a town which has a Lakeland shop and take full advantage. There's one opening in Bromley next month, which is a 15-minute train journey from me - hurrah! - but not much good to you! |
