Men Only Foraging Thread

[British Red]

Had about 20lb of Maris Pipers from last year sprouting. Some salt marsh grazed beef thats been too long in the freezer, the last of the onions from last year were sprouting...as was the garlic...and some cheddar was going hard in the fridge. I also had some good beef stock and a bottle of "nog" for gravy.

Oh and BB is out tonight, so I am having a small salad . Nothing Cottage Pie related here, move along!

Too many spuds left over those so the pies are for the freezer. The remaining spuds and onions have been combined with a tin of corned beef - two large trays of which are baking and the rest frying....to be consumed with brown sauce of course.

Left overs are great

Very nice fork work on the mash mind.

Nice one mate, they look good.

We're baking pies as i type funnily enough...

The chap who i share the allotments with works at the slaughterhouse round the corner. Yesterday he brought me 3kg of beef skirt and 2 beef kidneys. So were making steak and kidney pies. Rachael has just done the pastry, i've done the meat in the same way my grandma used to.... lovely

I left my pack up at home when I went to work this morning, so I am now sitting here eating it for my tea and you had to go and post this!

They look wonderful!

Back to my dry sandwiches now

 

[Dreadhead]

[TurboGirl]

Phwwoooaaar again, BR! Thats got me salivating!!!

 

[Tengu]

Can I come to dinner? I love cottage pie

 

[Marmite]

I can smell it now yumm, and the corned beef hash sounds great to. When you say small salad, you mean a leaf or show the plate the salad in the fridge and then shut the door

I love cottage pie

Can't be beaten can it? plenty of gravy and some black pepper...mmmmm

BB isn't keen weirdly so when I make some I make a load and freeze....easier that way. Then when the fire is lit, I just sling one in the oven - that's tea sorted!

 

[sandbender]

Lets see a pic of one opened up later.

 

[British Red]

No problem - beer gravy too

 

[Dougster]

That looks good. Had one similar recently but with venison. I love beef, salt beef must be amazing...
