Can I Scrounge Some Bacon?

[EcclesCake]

I've just aqua-planed my way back from the supermarket to discover I forgot to buy any bacon for tonight's dinner.

It is absolutely horrendous out there and I am not going out again.

Fingers crossed I can find some smoked bacon hiding in a remote corner of the freezer or tonight's supper is going to be very dull.

I was grumpy enough at having to wear full length jeans for the first time in months :-(

I'm sure there are lots of recipes calling for scrounged bacon. Italian-scrounged is the best, they have whole villages of scroungers in the south.

Can't think of a rasher thing to do than go out in this weather.

I've got some you can have, Eccles. Dry cured by hand, outdoor reared pork. Will that do?

[EcclesCake]

I hope it streaks it's way to me before my haddock goes off Ed.

hmm, have found a gammon steak and some prosciutto.

I am really fed up wearing long trousers and making and longing for heart warming food in August.

I hope we get an Indian summer :-(

im thinking about sausage/mash with onion gravy for dinner. that's not august food.

i just got a freshly cooked samosa off the guy in the market and *** it was a bit spicy, im quite warm at the mo.....

look at it as a blessing in disguise - processed meat is bad for you .

I've got some Quorn bacon you can have

I'm making cottage pie tonight, or I was. Walked to the supermarket, got all the bits I needed, plus a nice bottle of Pinotage. Unpacked, everything in order, except there was no mince...... So I know how you feel Eccles :o(

[Ric.ror]

Oh Mazie - I've got some Quorn mince you could have too

[EcclesCake]

No need to swear Ric.ror!

Fluff, there was a lady who did absolutely awesome samosas at Borough Market with an eye wateringly hot chilli and coriander chutney.....brilliant sinus clearer.

Mazie, I've got some lamb mince in the freezer if you fancy Shepherds pie instead and have some smoke bacon to swap.

Bazile, everything in moderation. I don't believe there are bad foods per se, bad diets is a different story though.

LOL thanks Ric.... just throw it over xx

Sorry Eccles, right out of smoked Bacon, had it last night... Fortunately, I made a minced Beef and onion shortcrust plate pie a couple of weeks ago and popped it in the freezer... So tonight it's now that with Mustard mash and cauliflower and Broccoli cheese..
