Borough market

There's usually a guy with a mushroom stall at Stoke Newington Farmers' Market on Saturdays.

Er, or he isn't. He's taking a Christmas and New Year break.

Local halal place is best value for lamb.

The last of the porchetta is being turned into carnitas/chicheron and is going in some breakfast tacos... I'm kinda relieved... 😌

Raw materials look promising.

I will need to remove ribs:

good work from that massive slab of pork

and this applause goes to @ChasnotRobert, your necking the wine first right

My 1st try at porketta, only a wee roast.

will try more stuffing next time.

That looks perfect, Rich, what's the flavour like?

Yesterday after trekking up Sigiriya and cave temples, stopped for a bite to eat recommended by driver at one of the locals offering buffet service. Hosts were embarassed to charge 500 rupees all you can eat.
Three platefuls later, I realised the authentic Sri Lankan cuisine previously consumed was nothing like this home cooked food:-

• Jackfruit curry
  
• Mango curry
  
• Some spiky vegetable called Dambulla
  
• Chicken can't even begin to describe the taste
  
• with plain rice, dal curry, crackers and chopped salad..
  I handed over 1500 rupees which was gracely received, somewhat puzzled the family also agreed to a team photo.
  
  

Possibly the best I've eaten in the past two weeks served on a teak tree table probably +100 years old

Looks great.

Whats your plan with the ribs? Could chop and use to help make a nice porky gravy.

Should be able to get a couple rolls out of that bad boi

was nice, but i forgot to put lemon juice in the mix and didn't really put enough in so it was more roast pork with little bit of herby flavor inside, ones i've eaten before had more punch to them but its the best cracking i've ever done so was pleased. overall really pleased with a 1st effort. :)

Looks great, not the size that counts...

But yeah, looks like you could get moar stuffing. You've achieved an excellent crackling there.

@Rich_G Yup - it can take bucket loads of flavour inside, so go mad!

Dem tacos!

I feel the same way about my ham btw - had inches of it every day since the 23rd. Kind of exhausting. I reckon 3 days left and then I'll use the rest in a pie.
