What produce/ingredients did you buy or obtain today (2025)?

[Z-Cook]

Don't buy the stuff.It's a million times better if you make it yourself, and about 5 times cheaper.

Yess! And better to make less, more often and fresher

I'm being given a bunch of turnips tomorrow (as in a lot rather than one tied bunch) and may make some MidEast brine fermented pickled turnips with beetroot. Also may make turnip, walnut, chili and cumin salad saved many moons back and never tried - still looks good.

That fermented one sounds good! I grew a boatload of cucumbers this year and have about a gallon I fermented.

We love turnips here, but I’ll admit, they rarely make it past the raw snacking stage - peel, slice, salt…crunch crunch crunch!

That pickle is a winner over here. Crunchy slices of turnip with some falafel and kibbe!

1.6 kg of sushi ginger for £2.98!! Amazon if anyone’s interested in sushi ginger bargains
And separate purchase all the way from America because you can’t get it here - gluten free Doenjang

 

[Z-Cook]

Wow, what a bargain! Guessing only on Amz UK, tho. Would get a couple of the ginger. I often make my own, but that's a steal

Still coming! The ones not in the dryer rack are getting peeled and made into spaghetti sauce today.

Have you grated tomatoes?
I recently discovered grating tomatoes to get the flesh for a sauce and love it. More so than scoring and boiling them a bit.

Never grated. I put them in the pot and after they've boiled a few minutes I'll smash some with a bean masher.

I was going to say something about the date on that lamb... but then I remembered

UK dating "day, month, year"
US dating "month, day, year"

Up until that package, I'd only seen the non-US date written with the month abbreviated in the middle. So easy to pick up on right away.
Or if I saw it all numerically, I never picked up on it
