Sainsbury's tomato and basil soup
It's quite nasty, but I was in a bad mood yesterday and didn't feel like cooking.

I kind of like corned beef. Mark's parents think I love it, and they always prepare corned beef sandwiches for me... and I eat it, but I don't really like it that much.

With pickle
I love pickle. I put a lot of it and mustard, and some pickled egg as well, so that I can't taste the corned beef so much.

Ah ... now, would you call that salt beef or corned beef?
Many have been confused (and possibly disappointed) at the difference ...
(, Thu 11 Nov 2010, 12:47, Reply)
well he called it corned beef..
and seeing as it wasn't cooked fully in brine, I'm inclined to believe him.

Although, re-reading and watching I'm not sure now??
(, Thu 11 Nov 2010, 12:52, Reply)
When I hear corned beef I think of the pressed minced stuff you get in tins.
I think he's using salt-cured whole beef, which can also be confusingly referred to as corned beef, because of the 'corns' or grains of coarse salt sometimes used in the curing process.

Couscous is the gratings from a lepers arse.
Perhaps that is "are the gratings" but it still applies.

And the word sausage does not belong next to salad.

Otherwise, enjoy.

I also heartily endorse getting a big pile of mash and sticking sausages in it at random angles and dousing with gravy, so it looks like sausage and mash from a comic.

I definitely do this!
The only problem is that my gravy for it is always pretty average. I fry the sausages, then mix the juices with bisto, fried onion, and a little Lea&Perrins
