Worlds Saddest Fry Up: Under 250cals

My partner and I overdid it a bit over the holidays and need to shift a few kilos. He’s just finished eating and is staring into space. A sausage shouldn’t be 71 cals.

Selling homemade sausages - what are the regulations?

Does anyone here have experience what the practicalities are when selling homemade meat products?

I am thinking of grilled homemade sausages in rolls, sold from our home/garden when we have a street party. Not a proper ongoing business.

Do I need to register a business? (And what does that cost?) Do I need inspection and food/hygiene certificates etc?

Cheers

Tex-Mex smash

Not as well photographed as some but tasted amazing

About 114g beef mince (minimum 20% fat) ½ teaspoon Mexican Spiced Salt Dash of Worcester sauce 2 tablespoons (approx. 30g) finely chopped onion 1 small garlic clove, crushed 1 slice Monterey Jack cheese 1 large sesame seed burger bun 1 tablespoon Chipotle Mayonnaise 1 small handful shredded iceberg lettuce 1 tablespoon Pickled Jalapeños, drained and finely chopped

In a small bowl, combine the beef mince, spiced salt, Worcester sauce, chopped onion and crushed garlic. Mix well and form into a large meatball. Cover and set aside in the fridge for 1 hour.

Heat a griddle pan or large frying pan over a high heat. When the pan is just smoking hot, reduce the heat to medium and add the prepared beef. Use a burger press if you have one, or a spatula wrapped with greaseproof paper, and smash the burger patty down into a large thin, flat burger. Fry the burger for 2-3 minutes. Remove the greaseproof paper from your spatula, scrape underneath the cooking burger and flip. Top the burger with the Monterey Jack cheese slice and cook for a further 2 minutes. To help the cheese melt, you can add 1–2 teaspoons of water to the pan and cover with a lid – be careful, the steam will be very hot and will come up instantly when the water is added.

In another dry pan over a medium heat, toast the burger bun halves, cut side down, for around 30 seconds, or until golden and toasted.

Top the burger with one bun half. Dress the other half with the chipotle mayonnaise and add the shredded lettuce and pickled jalapeños.

Use your spatula to lift the cooked burger from the pan. Place it gently on top of the other burger bun half and wrap the burger loosely in foil.

Allow to rest for 1-2 minutes before serving.

Mexican Spiced Salt

1 tablespoon cumin powder 1½ tablespoons garlic powder 2 teaspoons onion powder 1 tablespoon smoked paprika 1½ tablespoons paprika 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper 3 tablespoons sea salt 1½ tablespoons MSG ½ teaspoon black pepper

Chipotle Mayo

4 tablespoons mayonnaise 2 tablespoons sour cream 1 teaspoon chipotle paste 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice Pinch of garlic powder Pinch of sea salt

These chips are the chips I deem inedible from one portion. Black bits, eyes, the mouldy bits you get when you cut open a potato… they fried it.

Favourite fish fingers?

So im 17, making dinner tomorrow and i want to buy some fish fingers. But my family aren't british and so don't eat them at home and I've never bought them before - I've only ever had them at school. The school ones are usually pretty mushy, like you can't really tell that they were ever fish, the filling seems like 50% bread and they don't really have a flaky fish texture. Idk if this is the norm or not. They're fine, but once or twice my school got some more fancy ones which seemed like actual fish breaded and they were so good so I want to buy this kind!! What are your favourite fish finger brands?

Saturday fry-up with a twist

Had a Crosta Mollica pizza base sitting in the freezer, so thought I’d give my weekend fry-up a spin. Had some home-smoked ham, so used that instead of bacon, and the Burford Brown egg is perfect for crust-dipping. Mix of cheddar, Red Leicester and mozzarella for the cheese. Pretty happy TBH!

£5.40 Full English + Tea @ Moor Market, Sheffield

Taste and value for money = 9/10

No tomatoes on request.

A hash brown would have been a perfect score.

What is the cheapest decent for knife I can get at a supermarket?

I've got a nice chefs knife that I sharpen but the people I live with just seem to love leaving it in the sink or cutting on plates when they can so I just want to get a standard cheap knife for them and keep my knife for myself.

Was thinking of going to Tesco to get their basic knife but are there any cheaper options?
