Food

Is a pack a sitting too much?

No, that's what is called one adult serving. Like a bottle of wine.

Christmas puddings on the go.

Interesting. You say 'net carbs' - are the foods you can eat that provide negative carbs?

I just really like carbs.

Net carbs is carbs minus fiber content.

I believe that UK foods already display net carbs in their nutritional value info so no real maths to do but it does mean that high fibrous foods can contain almost no non-fiber based carbs but you can't get negative carbs :)

Things like broccoli, spinach, kale, green beans contain a lot of fibrous carbs and so can be eaten in fairly high quantities because their net carbs per 100g is less than 2 or 3g.

Usual dinner for me is some meat or fish with a massive pile of kale or broccoli.

Starchy carbs (potato, rice, pasta etc) is definitely a no.

I find Pringles to be very fibrous.

I've done something similar before and my energy levels were great. Also didn't have any hangry feelings.
It does take discipline though. Going back to it after Christmas.

We're through the looking glass here people

Who's going to be the first to volunteer a homemade recreation

Really interesting, thanks!

Like a modern age turducken.

genuinely got served turkducken at thanksgiving in the US last year

Always wanted turducken, there’s something amazing about a bird within a bird within a bird!
You can get them in borough market but I’ve never had enough people round for Christmas dinner to justify the outlay...

On another note, got people round tomorrow so have just finished making two portions of mac and cheese.
They’ll go in the oven with the pork belly tomorrow, and I’ll be braising some savoy cabbage and spring greens to go with them..

Braised Savoy cabbage is a "dish"that gets mentioned often, but I don't think I've ever had it.

You are missing out.

First crack at homemade cultered butter. I added a bito much salt but still pleased with the flavour.

christ

recently heard cooking with olive oil can be a bit dodgy due to it's low smoke point and slightly raised cancer fears when heated beyond the smoke point

what is the best oil to cook with, searing meat, high temps on the hob type meals , frying veg in a large saucepan etc

just about to attempt some bengali chicken curry and need to fry the spices first in oil, think i'll avoid ghee, any recommendations

slightly raised cancer fears

Daily Mail?

Seems the evidence isn't that strong https://www.seriouseats.com/2015/03/cooking-with-olive-oil-faq-safety-flavor.html

Saying that, if you are avoiding it I've seen groundnut or rapeseed oil recommended.

Lard.

eyy up lad, lard sounds grand like, me mam always had a block in 't' fridge

y not ghee?

the daily mail said ........

i'm on ryvita crackers ( dry ) only diet

thanks daily mail
