+1 Beef cheeks are great in chilli... Masher sounds a bit brutal tho', I like to let the meat fall apart naturally, gets a bit too furry otherwise, IYKWIM...

Never used cheek (but will try). I use shin instead, probably with similar results.

I also love to put horseradish and English mustard in chili.

All good tips, cheers.

It worked out in the end. I think the extra time I needed to reduce all the liquid gave the chunks the time to break down. But I think next time I'll just make sure it goes on earlier.

Annoyingly I've given all my nice chilli's to a friend and the Sainsbury near me doesn't have aa good range.

@amey - do you roast the marrow first? One thing I've done in the past as a cheat for extra flavour is using a decent tinned beef consumme.

+1 for Roti Jupa they are good, if you can track down Roti lady in Brixton try but no idea if she has a spot any more.

I just dun a big vat of beetroot, chilli and coriander soup using leftover chicken carcass for the stock, and a load of beets and the stems.

having the fist bowl of many now with greek yoghurt swirled into it. It's fucking ace.

Lunch today at Market in Camden, on Parkway.
They are always really friendly, and the Herdwick Pie is awesome.

Today slow cooked oxtail with black treacle, ginger, turnips and pearl barley.

Looks amazing... I knocked up some jerk chicken on the BBQ last night, my in-laws are massive fans... #whitepeople #imissbrixton

Thanks for the roti tips, dudes. My fat face is going to find some of that.

Roti King beside Euston station is rated

just to clarify this is malaysian style roti
+1 for me. Dig the chicken > veg > lamb

Then get the condensed milk one.

Umana Yana does Guyanese roti - it's opposite Brockwell Park.

They also do the best hot sauce ever.

This needs investigating!

Indeed. Which side of brockwell park?

Ahhh. That place. Never been in but will now ensure I do.

seconded. at the park end of croxted road

Funny how the words 'hot sauce' attract such instant interest, even without b&d being around.

i ride past UY every day and am ashamed to admit i've not been in once. what time does it close of an evening?

not sure, haven't been since I moved away from HH. maybe 8pm?
there's no menu really, just batches of whatever she fancied cooking that day - their channa or anything with pumpkin was my go to

Speaking of hot sauce. Freightliners farm in N7 have big (slice of cake) boxes of green chillies for sale for £2, in the cafe. Farm grown and hot.
How do I know? I priced them. Got myself a weekend job!

Better than a supermarket!

Great farm! Used to live around the corner

Yes I do live around the corner!
Need to score me some eggs from there.

I got chicken. Wife got plain veg and that won. Those rotis are rad. We also got the greens in fish paste which were real good. And the dessert one too because we are pigs.

Something vegetarian to go with roasted cauliflower with garlic, lentil dahl, brown rice and???
