    Lamb shoulder question

    Thanks for that! I just finished putting the rosemary and garlic in it and then saw your post. It's 1am, so no deboning at the butcher and....I just can't be bothered right now LOL. It's 1.9kg (4.1 lbs), so you think about 80mins or so? I never buy shoulder so I have just been reading so many...

    Cookery books tell fibs!

    Sometimes they ask stock photographers to make the dish, take a photograph, submit it to be chosen and then once they pick one, use it in their cookbooks. Maybe the stock photographer didn't do it right in the first place? Yours looks tastier

    Choko - A rather uninspiring experience

If I want to prepare (not cook) stuffed Sardines with egg/parsley/breadcrumbs/parmesan, is it ok to do so the day before I need to cook them or will they just go yuk? I...

    Garfish

    Lol the ones my Dad caught fortunately looked nothing like these. The ones I had have a lot of small bones in them that you end up eating anyways. I wonder what those alligator gar fish taste like, don't think you get them down under lol

    Garfish

    Been a very long while since I have posted in DC! I did a search and nothing came up except for someone saying they had eaten them lol, so here I am. Just wondering if anyone has a good recipe for Garfish (not filleted), I normally just coat them in flour and s&p and then shallow fry them. I...
