Extra squeak

We had the white pudding noticed at reference 1 yesterday lunchtime. With some of the boiled vegetables - mashed potatoes and crinkly cabbage - being held over for breakfast this morning.

So start with a couple of onions, coarsely chopped, in very hot rape seed oil. Then add three slices of the fine, dry-cured bacon, also noticed at reference 1, coarsely chopped cross-wise. Fry for a few minutes, with the lid mostly on, stirring a bit when it is off. Add the cabbage and mashed potato. Fry and so on and so forth.

Serve on thin slices - say around a centimetre - of home-brew brown bread. Eat while still hot. Very good it was too.

PS: while savouring the thickness of the bacon, I pondered about the way that Sainsbury's inflate the appearance of their cooked meats by slicing them very thin and arranging them flat in flat-packs, like the slates on a roof. OK, so they have to put the weight of the meat (including any added, not to say injected, water) on the label, but what one is buying is the appearance of the thing, not the label. Which on opening turns out to be very thin indeed, to the point of transparency. With taste to match.
