    We went Lidl route also & had kangaroo & ostrich steaks with roast spuds, tenderstem broccoli & green beans. Mrs B & The Kids would definitely have the ostrich again, but would skippy the kangaroo in future.

    Haven't eaten the kangaroo as steaks, but it makes a decent curry.

    I made dhal last night for the first time and it was quite yummy, using Jamie Oliver's recipe. Though I don't know what to serve it with so just had a big bowl like porridge haha. One thing however, when I was pouring the lentils in there was this brown nugget (heh) in there, about the size of a malteser, dry and powdery/crumbly.. I take it these aren't normally in there? I eat the dhal anyways but was curious as to what it was

    I don't know exactly how you cooked it, but it sounds like your heat was too high and the ingredients prior to the lentils cooked too fast and parts congealed. With Dahl, its low and slow and keep an eye on moisture.

    I was invited to an American thanksgiving. :) Dinner was turkey, stuffing, mash, green bean casserole, carrots, bread and gravy. Everything was really delicious but, like so often when eating with Americans, everything was cold by the time everyone sat down to eat! Kinda ruins good meals.

    Pumpkin pie and lots of prosecco was also enjoyed. :)

    Now I'm on my 4th double decker bar because I'm a hungry fecker.

    I don't know. I live in an ex pat community and 90% of my friends here are American. Every meal we eat together they prepare reeeaaally slowly and by the time everything is cooked and on the table and everyone is seated, the food is cold. They always eat family style where big dishes food are passed around. Like, they'll put out the meat dish onto the table and only then begin making salad and slicing the bread. Sometimes, everything is completely stone cold. Like the gravy at Thanksgiving on Thursday was stone cold. I actually had to get up from the table and reheat it because I could tolerate lukewarm/cold meat and vegetables but could not cope with cold gravy on top. With close friends I sometimes ask if I can pop my dinner in the microwave and they don't mind. With people you don't know so well you just gotta go with it. I'm always disappointed when a beautiful meal is allowed to go cold while we look at it!

    This would literally fry my brain!! After going to the trouble of preparing food just to let it go cold...

    Anyone I cook for is well used to the "On the table now"... and now means now...

    Mind you I'll always give people a 5/10 minute heads up so they know its nearly there....

    But cold gravy.... ((((shivers))))...

    Jesus, my mother would have a calf if that was happening. She's been known to ask a restaurant or two to fire hers in to the microwave for a minute or two if they can. She asks very nicely though :)

    I thought that only happened in films - it horrifies me to see it all left sitting around. I'd be divorced - Mr. Dizzy likes his food searingly hot and served on a hot plate :eek:

    Basmati rice and chicken madras tonight and not from any takeaway. Once again cooked from the heart. Piping hot and full of flavours, but still managing to leave that little ring of fire around the lips!

    Being really bold and skipping the garlic nan bread and having chips on the side instead. Its the beer and rugby effect!

    Tonight we had spinach, leeks, garlic and mushrooms in a creamy sauce stuffed into home made crepes, topped with cheese and baked. It was lovely.
