oldypigeonpopper Posted November 5, 2022 Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 (edited) Hello, my slow cookers on now as days are getting colder, I use, beef, chicken, lambs liver, onion, frozen mixed veg from lidl , not forgetting any pheasant I can get from my beaters day, not into dumplings 🤔😁 Edited November 5, 2022 by oldypigeonpopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted November 5, 2022 Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 Those slow cookers are very useful if your out working, the meal is there when you get home. Fortunately we don't have to work these days so we still slow cook but in the old fashioned way and yes, the flavours are retained. Makes me alugh when the media says people cannot afford to eat. These slow cooker meats are so cheap but they haven't a clue how to go about cooking them or too idle to try. A jacket potato and your good to go.

These slow cooker meats are so cheap but they haven't a clue how to go about cooking them or too idle to try. A jacket potato and your good to go. This. Last week I was staggered to see a young lass interviewed on the news stating that due to the so called cost of living crisis ( when has it ever been cheap? ) people would have to buy food which wasn’t very healthy for them due to being unable to afford healthier food! Really? A very elderly woman I know who spent quite a time in shelters now and again due to an abusive husband, spent most of her time teaching other much younger women in there with her, how to cook, sew and knit. She said it was amazing how many didn’t even know the basics of cooking a meal nor how cheaply they could do it.

marsh man Posted November 5, 2022 Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 Our little house where we were born was often over crowded with my mother having six children so when I started shooting I would spend a fair bit of time at my grandfather's who lived on the same road , anything I shot he would cook it and two stews I well remember was Rabbit and Coot's , the Rabbit was baked for one meal and the bones and what meat was on them were then put in a stew on another day, very often a steamer would go on top with three or four suet dumplings stuck in , Coots were also very gamey and these were skinned with a Onion put inside the body and a couple of rashes of bacon laid on the breast , these again would make a meal and the stew afterwards was one of my favorites . as a little side note , my grandfather had a coin gas meter in his front room and this is the truth I am telling you it cost 1 penny in old money to get your gas , you put your penny in the slot and wound the dial round until the penny dropped , How long would a old penny last nowadays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow white Posted November 5, 2022 Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 I remember the gas meter and the old penny going in if we didn’t have a penny used to go next door ask for one till next day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the plate your lovely meal is in reminded me of all the blue crockery my nan used to have, my wife collects a bit of the blue willow pattern crockery and keeps it in her display cabinet, not my kind of thing but she's happy. Talking of blue crockery it always amazes me when I am walking a ploughed field just how much of that stuff is in the fields, well it is around here, make me wonder how it all gets there?
