another thought....

How about some sticky BBQ pork ribs? - With my own BBQ sauce that inclues Jack Daniels in the recipe - would those go down well do you think?

[ummmm]

They seem to be popular. I wouldn't eat them though....

[merciasounds]

you can have you crusty steak baguette with caramelised onions then - Or a leg of pork bap...or both!

[redman41]

Give me all you've got merciasounds ! :-))

[mccfluff]

oh my

[ummmm]

I'll probably go for both...

Personally I'm not keen on ribs....but I do love the sauce so I'm sure they will go down well.

Are you doing any salad stuff?

[marval]

crusty steak baguette with caramelised onions ? yes pleeese, thank you.

[redcrx]

i wouldnt buy sticky ribs at a food market. Too messy

[merciasounds]

Ummmm - I certainly shall, the various lettuces/salad leaves i grow will have been dug up that morning, I'll have to source some good well flavoured toms as mine won't be ready from the greenhouse, but i shall have thinly sliced cucumber, mild Spanish onion, red onion and spring onions too. I'll make several dressings too, a grainy mustard and honey one, and a lemon/olive oil herby one....anything else?

[mccfluff]

could i have an avocado salsa - just for me though

[ummmm]

Stop being so selfish fluff..!!!

Sounds lovely Mercia....what about other salads...potato/rice. Turns a baguette into a proper meal...cheaply :-) (but I don't mind carbs) They can be done in advance as well...

[mccfluff]

poo, ok i'll share, just with you though

[merciasounds]

Well, you have to remember that I'm there basically to flog my pork, venison and beef, and everything has to be organic - the salads and dressings etc are the icing on the cake really

[hammerman]

Are you going to share the BBQ sauce recipe with us ?

[funnygirl]

Yum that sauce sounds nice.

Do share.

[merciasounds]

I always hate it when people ask for recipes from me because, i've been doing thises things for so many years, I never measure anything, i make by eye if you know what i mean, but here goes:

I will say 'measures' you can use an old tea cup, an egg cup, a mug, for how ever much you want to make it's a matter of ratio!

2 measures tom ketchup (I'm using an old teacup here)
1/2 tube tom puree
I large onion chopped fine and 2 fat cloves garlic, crushed (sautee in a little oil until soft)
1/2 measure of soft brown sugar
1/3 measure balsamic or ordinary vinegar/cider vinegar, whatever
1-1and a half cups Jack Daniels
1 tablespoon BBQ spice
worcester sauce - whaddya mean how much - told you....about.....that much! Oh alright, a couple of tablespoonsful
1/2 a measure of molasses or black treacle

Cook altogether in a saucepan till lovely and thick, use on pork ribs, chicken, chops and steaks, burgers and sausages.....

[ummmm]

I'll bring my own then :-)

It all sounds really good. I hope a few Abers do turn up?

Keep us informed....

Or you could save yourself the bother and just buy this...

But Boo, didn't you read the bottom of the website - it says there's NO ALCOHOL in their sauces or marinades - where's the fun in that?!!!!

[ummmm]

I asked OH if we could go to the food fair...he said yes but do we have to bring the kids. To which I replied 'of course, who will wake us up when we get to our station'
