This thread is awesome for making me feel like I do actually have enough veg in my diet.

Me, I just ate a banana so I could have paracetamol to help with the Covids. #livingthedream

"Smashed" avacado and poached egg on toast

Not an oven or hob were harmed in the making of this roast dinner.

My Nan used to call them hasselhoff potatoes. Think she watched too much Baywatch.

Looks great but can’t be doing with cauliflower

This was Silverside with the photo not showing how pink it was in the middle and cannot display how tender it was.

It's a good thing you can type that instead of saying it; you're probably still chewing

Thank you for your review as an internet expert

I will pass on your expert opinion to those that ate the meal and enjoyed it and explain that the thread is not titled "Opinions of what I is eating"

For once though I'm not an internet expert, I'm an actual chef that did 180 roasts today

But no need to be so defensive, I'm only messing with you

I agree the beef is overdone. I’d need a pint of gravy on it and a paracetamol for the jaw ache.

Cool dude...Been a few weeks for me with painful sick off work, so a bit sensitive to just about everything. When I wrapped it, it was well pink

Notices @robfosters reply as typing this and resists the urge to mention pie and mash :eek:

At least my pie and mash is cooked properly

All good, as long as you enjoyed it that's all that matters.

Had a beef sent back today (sirloin, cooked sous vide so super tender) because there was "too much fat on it" referring to the fat cap that all sirloin has.

A 30 year old woman couldn't work out to cut off the fat if you don't want to eat it... literally all I did. Cut the fat off, re-plated and sent it back, happy as Larry then.

Banana bread with Apricot.

Cauliflower I agree with but man broccoli is amazing! Super food and super tasty.

Lamb roast

This was last week, as you should never eat fish on a Monday!
Langoustines on a quayside with the smell of diesel from a ferry docked opposite. Does it get any better?
Also had a plate of mussels and three oysters (oysters didn’t get pictured, fingers were disgusting after the mussels so didn’t want to touch my phone!)

Realised my error with the beef. Did probe cook and selected well done, which showed a little pink, but lost that as it sat in foil for 10 minutes. It was a Silverside and I had not sous vide it first and was concerned the short cooking time would result in it being tough.
As was it wasnt too bad.

I think I'll sous vide it next time.
