I never use mince anymore - I buy high quality Italian pork sausages (sometimes trad, sometimes with fennel), squeeze the filling out, then use that as a ragu (with milk). It’s very rich but it’s bloody lovely

home made fish pie tonight (cod, salmon, prawns) and it was superb on this very cold evening.

Fried rice. A surprisingly complex dish TBH / chicken, egg, onion, pepper, rice made earlier and refrigerated. Made my own sauce for it

What would Uncle Roger think?

Hopefully nobody would ever find out, because he's an unfunny, one dimensional social media character who can surely only appeal to people with <100 IQs.

and yet we roll around laughing at exactly such characters in this thread

You're always so full of joy C70

We have fried rice quite a lot but I know Uncle Roger wouldn't approve, as we can never be bothered pre cooking the rice in advance. We usually just put the rice cooker on about an hour before dinner.

Cheers all - some top tips for the next time!

Try adding thinly sliced celery as well.

I had to look up Uncle Roger, as I've never heard of him.

At any rate, I think he'd approve ... or at least not be too harsh, as I try and make it "authentically", for example by slicing the veg an hour before and then soaking it in hot water before it goes in the wok.

Soffrito: finely chopped celery, onion and carrot. The base for a lot of Italian food.

Isn’t a galantine normally served cold and encased in gelatine? I thought a warm dish done in that way was a ballotine?

Correct - I even looked it up before writing the above so I didn't put the wrong one as I always mix them up.
