What did you cook or eat today? (November 2025)

[TheSoloChef]

So those are like pork, mostly, meatballs. They do look good and that gravy!!!

Pork and offal with stuffing all mixed together so not quite as solid as a pure pork meatball but that is by design.

Belly pork and coarse green bean/potato mash.
The mash needed something extra, so I added a bit of kashmiri chili.

Fried egg on toast for lunch. Simple fare. Tonight its fish fingers and mushy peas. I think I'm reverting to childhood food.

Barriehie I thank you’d like faggots a fair bit just because the ingredients are the sort of thing I think a nose to tail eater like yourself would enjoy (that’s a compliment just incase that term isn’t familiar).

Thank you! Mix in some tongues and share with the neighbors!

Yes, I'll have a go with those and my "addins".

SandwichShortOfAPicnic Bought a box of 50 and the Groomer Girls don't like.

Finally I have the Thanksgiving menu down, I usually build them up. It looks like I won’t be able to do the celeriac and leek dish, oh well, maybe another day. All this starting at 6:30 AM. My daughter helped with the Brussels sprouts, and my husband is responsible to do the mashed potatoes, I never do it right.
Here is what for dinner
- Escarole, Romaine, watercress, arugula, cucumber, pomegranate salad.
- yam and pecan toppings with brown sugar, this year I skip the marshmallow, if I eat sugar I might as well eat the real thing
- rapini sautéed with garlic
- steam green beans
- steam Brussels sprouts
- beetroot salad with pistachios
- cranberry/mandarin/ginger sauce
- mashed potatoes
- one turkey with the New England stuffing with apple, onion, sausage
- one city ham à la Alton Brown recipe

Yes, I'll have a go with those and my "addons".

Bazza if you’re going to secretly slip your neighbours the tongue maybe don’t put that out there on an open forum

Our dinner. Craig's smoked turkey in all its burnished glory. My plate, 12 o'clock roll, green bean casserole, Craig's sweet potatoes Foster (think bananas Foster), dark meat turkey, dressing with gravy. Craig had 2 plates and is passed out. I finished all of mine but for 2 big bites of the roll, which pugs got.

Pugs got the turkey liver and the meat off the neck that I used for stock, plus some kibble for their Thanksgiving dinner.

What a fabulous looking mahogany turkey that is.

Today I have a couple of homemade British Faggots in a rich gravy! First time making them from scratch and they turned out really nice (even if I do say so myself)!

View attachment 137208

If anyone wants to try making them themselves I have put the recipe on my personal blog here: Homemade British Faggots In The Air Fryer

All that's missing are some carrots and mashed potatoes which go really well with this dish.

As delicious as that looks, there is not a chance on Earth that I'd say, "Those faggots looks good to me."
