Decided to make Japanese curry with whatever I have in the fridge, so ended up with minced beef, half a carrot, a leek and an onion.

I do like a good fridge raid + cook up.

Boiling bacon with new pots, boiled and fried in butter and smoked Maldon sea salt on pickled cabbage.

Fair play making your own taco shells, looks amazing

They’re easier than flour if you ask me, though I do have a tortilla press which makes getting them thin and round a doddle. Masa harina is fairly easy to get these days and I got myself about 10kg earlier this year and mexigrocer had them reduced to £1 a kilo.

I've always thought of the tacos as hard shells but tortilla wraps as soft, maybe that's incorrect? Or can it be either or?

In the uk yeah, we know a taco as a hard shell corn tortilla but more traditional in mexico a taco is a corn tortilla filled with meat. Kinda like bread becomes a sandwich or toasty depending on what you do with it.

There can only be one.

Bovril is so versatile,
Bovril on toast
Cheese & Bovril sandwiches
Bovril on crumpets with a poached egg on top
Making a cottage pie? chuck some beefy Bovril in it.

Will use leftovers for Lasagne and chips tomorrow

All the above is delicious but don't forget as a warm beefy drink. Hits the spot just right.

Wouldn't be Christmas without the following, so moreish, but they do contain MSG...

If you look at my recent posts, I've had SUCH a bad week for food...but also good.

Leftover curry from Lahore plus the KFC salsa burger with a hash brown in it.

And pics from restaurant. Various lamb and chicken curries plus mixed grill:
