I just saw beef heart for sale at the grocery store and was surprised by how large it was. It tastes like meat really, like eating a skirt steak...it’s just a little more chewy than regular meat. what I do is cube it up and salt it. Throw some flour on and brown it. Chop up my veggies and herbs (thyme and rosemary) throw it all in a crock pot with some red wine. 1) your house is going to smell fantastic. 2) let it slow cook overnight, by the time you’re ready to eat it the next day, you wouldn’t know it was beef heart unless some one told you. 3) it’s super easy to make and it’s really like a comfort food in the winter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like salmon, so it’s a struggle. Well done. It's very hard sacrificing food you enjoy. It helps to have a lot of cookbooks and new recipes to try so you don't feel deprived. If you get veggie cookbooks for different cuisines, eg Indian, Chinese etc, you have more variety too. Green leafy veg and linseed/olive/hempseed/rapeseed oil will get you your omega 3. Unpopular opinion continued: I think most people should eat less meat and try to be closer to eating locally sourced, in season foods. Including myself, for the latter. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, it is and it isn't what I meant and I apparently confused myself when I read your post at 1 am. I wasn't thinking clearly and I should have waited until this morning and reread your post. Sorry about that. aha! I find it's easy to get confused at that hour. 🥰 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pamela Galli Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I don’t know what bubble and squeak is but sounds like a bath toy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the leftover veg from your Sunday roast, all mixed up with the leftover potato (roasted or mashed) and fried together. I made extra veg on Christmas Day so I could do bubble and squeak on Boxing Day. Delicious and veggie with a lovely name that comes from the sound it supposedly makes while cooking.

I'll avoid references to spotted d*ck as nobody actually makes that now or even knows what it is, though we do joke about it. But our government is most definitely an Eton mess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still with savoury though, can anything beat ... BLACK PUDDING? ! The absolute king of black pudding is from Stornoway. All other black puddings bow in shame to this absolute supreme delicacy, best eaten at breakfast with smoked bacon, poached eggs, tomato, mushroom, hash browns, brown sauce..........and sometimes haggis.

Amina Sopwith Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Ok, so I know I'm veggie, but black pudding? I can understand why someone might want a crispy bacon rasher or a burger, but cooked blood held into a solid by a few extra bits? Really? Why?

Selene Gregoire Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Dayum. If I ate like you guys (and gals!) do I'd weigh over 200lbs instead of the 120-130lbs I normally weigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A texture and taste thing. Something extra good about this being crisped up in a frying pan, lovely with mushrooms, although it's nice in it's own way just eaten as a cold slice. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
