Lard will be making a comeback

[melted welly]

Aches in the shoulders from extended grabbing crisps and bikkys and inserting into the mouth....












Joke

Possibly from reaching up to the top shelf to hide the best ones from kids/wife

Beef dripping or Goose/Duck fat either.

Will traditional old breeds of pigs make a comeback, more fat than lean.

Grandad used to have dribbing on bread and toast

I must admit, when I cook a steak and kidney pie, I use bought in pastry, ready made. I know I shouldn't, but I figure a little cheat is allowed (when I make a lasagne, I use a jar of white sauce in the layers, but when I make a fisherman's pie I make my own cheese sauce).

Next time you make a lasagne try swapping the pasta with pancakes.

It’s all interesting stuff I think I need to look a bit harder at my diet, I did think rape seed oil was ok though

When my wife makes lasagne, she uses slices of puffball instead of pasta.

Extra virgin is ok, but not the light olive oil. I don’t remember the exact reason, it’s something to do with the clarifying process, may use chems for it, I can’t remember, she does majority of shopping so it’s just not bought.

Doesn’t like rapeseed oil either

I must admit I was pretty sceptical as some of the stuff she insists is healthy goes thru like a dose of salt, but I was getting aches in my shoulders last year and she convinced me to cut out the crisps and biscuits from lunchtime and I do feel better for it, the aches have gone away.

cook with either butter, dripping or duck/goose fat here. Should really get cholesterol checked to see if she’s right….

Whatever happened to the "Lard Information Council"?

 

[4course]

Will make OSR a very lucrative crop to grow I'm short term. £1000 a tonne? Big crop of OSR might just pay the fert bill

so far im glad we upped the osr acerage but it was more to do with logistics , field sizes and getting the rotation back on track rather than any foresight on my part though if we harvest a full crop will certainly help and then i will be able to claim ," told you so" mindst for the first time ever ive just taken out hail damage insurance, chips cooked in lard are far superior to oil

Can I be the only one who was hoping that this thread was announcing that Mark and Lard were coming back to afternoon radio?

Nope, me also. I can hardly contain my dissapointment that it isn't...

I think my copy might be even older. Note the reference to an “ordinary coal oven”!

Used to find them hilarious, the band they had the shire horses, one of them does a folk show on r2 and waffles in my opinion. Seems far from the days of fat Harry White.

 

[Pigken]

Knew had somewhere, sure was few albums. Had to laugh went to look and CD rack now selection of paw patrol and pepper bloody pig dvds. Not sure when that happened.

This is spot on. My wife had beginning of it in fingers, cut out veg oil products and it went. It’s amazing how quickly the symptoms come back if she falls off the wagon - crisps, biscuits etc.

going to give it a try. I’ve arthritis in my feet and starting in my hands too, won’t be easy as veg oil is in so many tasty foods

Same with mine. If a 4th wave nose-ringed blue-haired radical feminist comes across a copy it'll give them a heart attack

Next time you make a lasagne try swapping the pasta with pancakes.

Or make your own pasta with flour, eggs and a little olive oil.
I do.
