Did you miss me?
Don’t know where the time goes, sorry. Had an absolutely fantastic tea tonight: yesterday had got sausages out of the freezer with the intention of doing bangers & mash and then last night happened upon Maggie’s write up of Nigel’s recipe for just that!
I had the necessary additives in the fridge- cream, mainly- and went with the Dijon mustard rather than the parsley flavouring for the mash. Even though a tablespoon of mustard seems like loads the mash was only very, very mildly piquant. I’d use at least double next time, I reckon. Of course perhaps my mustard has gone past it….and I’ll get used to using loads and then one day open a new jar and blow Dougal’ and my tastebuds to kingdom come!
Scrummy scrummy meal though, unctuous creamy mash, tasty sausages (from Asda’s happy pigs and apples of unknown mental wellbeing) masses of runner beans (which tasted dead buttery despite the addition of no butter at all!).
It made me want to get back to blogging. So I shall try, a little harder, again. My sincere apologies to my parents who will think I waited for them to go on holiday before beginning a deluge of posts. Deluge. You may not get to hold me to that!
nice to see the food porn back.
Mash absorbs a lot of flavour… you bung in fried onions, mustard, god knows what, and it seems barely perceptible. The answer must be MORE x
