Haven't been making a lot of curries recently - think I've sickened myself with them and haven't enjoyed the last couple. Still messing around in the kitchen though :)
Got a big dod of brisket from local butcher on Friday with the idea of making shredded/pulled beef in a barbecue sauce.
Whacked the beef into the slow cooker on Friday night and left it for 12 hours, then pulled it apart into shreds - turned out really nice.
As I had made too much, I decided to faff about on Saturday and came up with a Chinese/American/Indian fusion type dish. Pulled brisket with onion and spring onion in a Gram flour batter. Light and dark soy sauce added to the beef for a couple of hours before mixing with the onions, spring onions and batter.
Deep fried and, although not perfect, were an interesting twist on an old favourite :)

Looks good Garp. What price is brisket from the butchers these days? The supermarkets seem to be pricing it as a premium cut lately, which is a laugh considering it used to be unfashionable and cheap. No doubt some TV chef is to blame for making it trendy.

You should have stuck a bit of horseradish in it Garp just to give it a little kick. Good effort though.
I noticed in Morrisons the other day that the packs of meat had security tags on. ??? I haven't had brisket for a while but its a top piece of meat slowly done.
And as for TV chefs pumping the prices, belly pork, oxtail, offal and even pigs cheeks have become ridiculously priced due to those idiots >:(
-
Yeah, At the moment I'm eating one of my missus' speciality dishes of heart and liver. This stuff used to be practically free, now it's the same price as the prime cuts.

Not sure of the price per kilo. I got a good sized slab for

That's one big piece of meat, Michael, verging on a cow :)

I went to Smithfields meat market a couple of nights ago
The idea of this appeals to me, but getting up, into London & back out again before the congestion charge kicks in at 7am just doesn't seem possible to my body-clock!
-
You do get used to it
I always go as early as possible 2am to get home and back to bed
For me it takes about 30 mins and once you've been a few times you know who to buy off and get back
The first time you seem to walk round a bit aimlessly and waste time :)
I often go to the meat market then pop 10mins down the road to Billingsgate
Then you wake up in the morning and it all seems like a dream ;)
-
Yeah, 2am... Past my bedtime and not even close to waking up time I'm afraid :)
-
Sounds like fun, Michael. Sometimes I wish I lived nearer London - other times I don't obviously :)

Out of the two I find the fish market to be more value All the fish seem fresh One supplier I go to for Scottish salmon which is Sushi grade I get it home and fillet it You could say butcher it but I am getting better :) I then freeze it in blocks then have sushi when I want it
