Veggie lasagne?
Why in the bastarding hell would you ruin lasagne by missing out the meat?

I have no idea, it was the first thing that came to mind
does that make me a perishing left footer?

Yes, we all know that vegetarians are closely linked to Hitler.

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 17 Oct 2011, 10:19, Reply)

Hitler was a vegetarian.
Suck on that, fact fans!
(The Luggage is haunted..., Mon 17 Oct 2011, 10:24, Reply)

He wasn't a full veggie
He still ate meat very occasionally.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 17 Oct 2011, 10:26, Reply)

Oh right?
Mind you, I also heard he was very fond of children.
(The Luggage is haunted..., Mon 17 Oct 2011, 10:27, Reply)

Yes.

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 17 Oct 2011, 10:21, Reply)

I had a vegetable lasagne last night
True story.
Why do I miss out the meat? Vegetarianism.
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 17 Oct 2011, 10:19, Reply)

Vegetarianism Because I touch myself inappropriately at night

You may think it inappropriate
I rather enjoy it.

If you're actually veggie, I can understand why you'd want to eat the culinary abortion
But our man Luggage isn't.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 17 Oct 2011, 10:21, Reply)

Damn straight.
Meat eater through and through, none of this namby-pamby not eating anything with a face malarkey.

You'd have loved the offer I saw the other day
2 T-Bone steaks for £6, both 12oz.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 17 Oct 2011, 10:26, Reply)

Gah!
That's simply not fair.
(The Luggage is haunted..., Mon 17 Oct 2011, 10:27, Reply)

Same for me, sadly I only had £10 with me, and I had left my wallet at home.
The choice was between steaks, or sausages and bacon.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 17 Oct 2011, 10:28, Reply)

Gutted!

(The Luggage is haunted..., Mon 17 Oct 2011, 10:29, Reply)

I don't hugely regret my decision, as the sausages are absolutely excellent, as is the bacon
But if that offer isn't on next week when I go in, I'll be rather distraught.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 17 Oct 2011, 10:30, Reply)

I so need to find something like that in my local area.

(The Luggage is haunted..., Mon 17 Oct 2011, 10:31, Reply)

Get someone to drive you to one of the ones I pointed you at a few months back

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 17 Oct 2011, 10:45, Reply)

I honestly think that veggie lasagne is better

( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Mon 17 Oct 2011, 10:25, Reply)

You are quite simply wrong on this one.
Sorry dude.
(The Luggage is haunted..., Mon 17 Oct 2011, 10:26, Reply)

I think Gonz could make veggie lasagne palatable for me
I'd be quite interested to try it, but just a standard one doesn't tempt me in the slightest.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 17 Oct 2011, 10:27, Reply)

There's no point
it's simply the wrong combination of flavours and texture. I mean, you could make something layered with vegetables and pasta sheets if you used a different sauce, maybe, but it wouldn't be a lasagne any more than my balls are made of onyx.

If the mince isn't done right, it's dull and borring on so many levels.
TGB can do fucking awesome things with Mince, she just chucks it all in not caring, doesn't take ages, like, 30 minutes and it's delish. Standard mince though, the way most people do it, no thanks.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Mon 17 Oct 2011, 10:34, Reply)

Try soaking the mince in milk first before making a ragout.
Italians also use a mix of veal and beef and chicken livers in their lasagne. Had it once & it was great.
( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Mon 17 Oct 2011, 10:37, Reply)

If you cook standard mince with a little toasted sesame oil
It gives a really nice flavour. Also, a bit of fresh oregano in the mix for thirty seconds to get the flavour out a bit... lovely!
(The Luggage is haunted..., Mon 17 Oct 2011, 10:37, Reply)

you don't make lasagne with minced beef.
it's veal, pork and chicken livers.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Mon 17 Oct 2011, 10:37, Reply)

I think you misunderstood me when I said 'standard lasagnia'...
I'm not talking about high end £50 worth of ingredients that have to be ordered from the butchers, I'm talking about something standard that people make in average households.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Mon 17 Oct 2011, 10:40, Reply)

Sausage meat is pretty good in lasagna.

(PsychoChomp, Mon 17 Oct 2011, 10:43, Reply)

I want to make black pudding scotch eggs
Do you reckon I could do it with herby sausage meat? It's not overpowering (actually, it's fucking fantastic), but I'm just wondering whether it'd work or not...
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 17 Oct 2011, 10:44, Reply)

I've never eaten a scotch egg,
I think they look disgusting.
(PsychoChomp, Mon 17 Oct 2011, 10:46, Reply)

Shop-bought ones certainly are.
Home-made ones on the other hand- lush!
(The Luggage is haunted..., Mon 17 Oct 2011, 10:48, Reply)

The first one I ever had was home made
When I had a shop bought one, I was gutted at how shit it was.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 17 Oct 2011, 10:54, Reply)

I believe there is such a thing as a Manchester Egg
Which uses black pudding instead of sausage meat; and the egg is pickled.
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 17 Oct 2011, 10:49, Reply)

That sounds vile
I mean to combine the sausagemeat with black pudding before coating the egg.

I don't find veal mince, pork mince and chicken livers
very hard to get mate, and you live in london. Pork mince is cheaper than beef, veal costs the same and chicken livers cost bugger all.

The hardest thing to get is veal mince, and you can replace that with beef if you like, but it's the pork and livers that matter.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Mon 17 Oct 2011, 10:48, Reply)

And what happens if you can't stand liver?

(The Luggage is haunted..., Mon 17 Oct 2011, 10:52, Reply)

Have something else for supper instead.

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Mon 17 Oct 2011, 10:53, Reply)

Works for me.
Although liver is bloody horrible, whatever people say.

it doesn't matter whether you microwave, oven cook or flambee with an oxyacetylene torch
since any right minded person would throw it in the bin regardless.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Mon 17 Oct 2011, 10:18, Reply)

Or add meat to it.
