HOTW and chorizo roll

[punkrockcaveman]

In honour of TeeDee's old foodie posts, I thought I'd try an get an arty shot of a very simple unassuming meal. I found my first hen of the woods yesterday, after trying a little fried last night and having no upset or reaction I fried the rest up until crispy in butter with some chorizo, then fried the bread in the juices. Absolutely lovely for those wondering, I left half of the fungus to carry on it's job.

Well..... I've never been name checked before.

At least in a positive way without expletives.


Well done you!! Lets see some more foodie posts.

How absolutely civilized. Any choice of mustards, perchance?

 

[punkrockcaveman]

I was thinking perhaps a good splodge of heinz mayo, but something just felt wrong about it. To be fair, the whole thing was soaked in butter!

I did make some Jack by the hedge mustard from their seeds last year, I'll have to get out and see if there are still some around. Can't say I've noticed any on my walks so Im probably too late

That’s why mustard, it helps emulsify oil, where as mayonnaise is emulsified oil.

Looks splendid.

Wot no cheese

Well, a butter-soaked fried sandwich has a massive appeal to me.
"Heart-stopper" but for all the offerings, who cares?

She’s back at school now. And also cooking for us this evening. So no time to grumble about cheese.

It was cooked just right too. Local farmer was shooting them, this one made it to the woods and dropped out of the sky. Such a gift needed eating, be rude not to. Do I popped it in my bag. I had a few more in the freezer so she cooked those as well.

 

[punkrockcaveman]

Great timing! Unfortunately there's not many opportunities for pigeon round these parts, no crops to protect just sheep.

 

[Broch]

Strangely, despite us being in 'sheep country' we've had a lot of wood pigeon around this year.

 

[punkrockcaveman]

Yep seen plenty of em, loads in the garden too. I've been seeing collared doves around too recently, seems they only show towards the back end of summer?

I think I'm done. I would however readily be the cheerleader for someone new to do some cookery stuff.
