Deep fried jam sandwich
What food did you last make
Dusks mantra….if you are going to have a heart attack…HAVE A BIGUN!🤣
Having said that I am intrigued as to how it tastes so I definitely would if offered one.
Just out of interest Dusk…you are not Scottish are you?😁
No, I’m not. But I do have a very Scottish sounding name so there’s some Scottish ancestry.
I saw a review of Eric’s fish and chips in Norfolk that said their deep fried jam sandwich was amazing, I tried one when I visited a few months ago and it was great but almost £5 for a small portion, I thought I needed to make my own for a lot cheaper! I don’t usually buy cheap white bread and only just got round to buying some to try this out.

Sorry didn’t know, what about sugar if your not stopping that it won’t reverse its self.
Yeah that’s never been my thing, I’m a carb monster in terms of savoury

I have just had my yearly MOT and been told I have just drifted into the pre-diabetic scale. Nothing that cannot be changed with a dietry and lifestyle (more active) change. So, I have been on a 1 meal a day diet since January 8th, cut out completely any lovely moorishly sugary delights (buscuits, cakes, puddings oh my!). No bread or pastry, but not spuds and rice or pasta. I am only doing it to kick start the weight loss (shift that first stone) and then I will get back to normal eating, normal being 1 or 2 biscuits with the odd cuppa and not a packet. 1 slice of bread and not 4….in other words…MODERATION! which has always been my problem…gluttony. I blame me old mum who having five boys used to pile our plates high.
Pompeyexile How did your Scottish experience go? My top rump stewing steak was really good. Both the lorne and pork sausages were par for the course but not outstanding which just leaves the joint of beef to have next weekend!

Well haven’t had the gammon joint yet, that has gone in the freezer, but I cut up the brisket into chunks and mixed it with the shin and have vacuum sealed it and frozen it. However, I kept some aside and used it to make a Beef Bourgignon and it was really lovely, rich dark and very very tastey. Had the two ribeye steaks and they were excellent, again good flavour. So, no complaints here and at the prices they were selling at with such a cheap delivery, I will definitely be using them again, so thanks for the heads up.
Pompeyexile GL and best wishes for getting back in shape.
PS: Hereditary unfortunately doesn’t help. This is from the experiences of our friends and families. Hopefully, you are not in that bracket 😊

Ooh that looks lush! I thought at first it was a sourdough. Being a bread nut that wouldn’t last five minutes in my house. And there is only two of us!😁
I make sourdough and so far have always cooked it in a cast iron casserole dish ( I’m too cheap to buy a Le Creuset!). A couple of days ago I tried baking it straight on a baking tray (with a hot water tray at the bottom of the oven), it came out with a much softer crust and had less over spring but seemed to have a far more even spread of air bubbles. It definitely looked less appealing but has arguably been better to eat. I’ll have to do some more experiments to see if I can improve the crust without a casserole dish.
That bread looks amazing, must try the Dutch oven method, currently I churn out two tins every Sunday as they fit in the toaster. Recently had a lot of problems with dough not rising properly, after changing everything inclucing tins of yeast and being careful with temperature it was still not rising so changed to a different brand of dry yeast which cured the issue. From you Tube I found quite a few had experienced the same and as someone had contacted the company they tested her tin and discovered a bad batch, more than one I suspect as I’d tried three tins with different dates.
