JKD Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 I saw this in Waitrose leading up to Xmas and thought "I'm havin' some of that !" So tonight was the night π "What is it ?" I hear you ask,,,,,,, Slow cooked shin of beef with a merlot and shallot sauce gravy π Had some simple boiled small potatoes, green beans and sliced carrots with it, and it was absolutely divine π πππ Β Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JKD Posted January 2 Author Report Share Posted January 2 Cheers guys, it was absolutely delicious π πΒ It was designed to feed 6 people I think, so there was quite a lot of sauce gravy provided with it, so,,,,, I used most of it up for myself, creating almost a stew, hence the shallow bowl π Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sussexboy Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 Perhaps we should adopt the custom of the βdull menβs clubβ on that famous face like social media site and just use a banana for scale. Of course we would have to then know if it was a small, medium or large banana. Also itβs difficult for those who donβt like bananas, alternatives would have to be found. Itβs a complete minefield!

We better not use a piece of string , that would really confuse matters , I used to have a measuring device for horses , this was a sliding rule and it measured in hands , the nearest my biggest plate would get using that type of rule would be one hand and a little fingerΒ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
