I've cooked pork and ham in coke. I didn't have issues either time, but I roasted the pork and boiled the ham - I assume you boiled the pork?

I slow cooked it as I was going to be out all day so had the oven at about 80. Maybe that was my problem, should have boiled it perhaps for a shorter amount of time?

lolz...

If you'd done about 140 the coke would have reduced down nicely, then applied your happy finish..

Does it still taste like coke though? That was the weirdest part*, the meat just tasted like coke and pork and it wasn't nice at all.

*not actually that weird really, but you know what I mean.

I've not noticed a coke taint

^ probably used pepsi.

Ok. Next time more heat!

Wanna treat myself to something tasty yet healthy and need inspiration please!

Peas, I love fresh garden peas...

Hit me with a recipe including meat/chicken/fish!

Shredded smoked mackerel, avocado, baby beetroot, tomato, red onion, cos lettuce...

Make a dressing with olive oil, the juice and rind of a lemon, a tablespoon of English mustard, salt and pepper...

Chuck everything in a bowl, pour the dressing over it, sloosh it all about with your hands... Serve... Enjoy...

If only I liked mackerel. Otherwise sounds delicious! Not really in the mood for salad though.

But you said fish!?! ;)

That's one of my fave recovery meals... So many vitamins...

This screams for l'ancienne mustard dressing.

After a run I ended up eating some tender sauteed turkey thigh meat, simple with salt, pepper and rosemary. Accompanied by grilled green asparagus deglazed with a small amount of kecap manis and some sea salt flakes, and a simple salad of lettuce, cornsalad, persian cucumber and a simple dressing with fresh herbs.

This is kind of interesting

Although I am a sucker for a really good coffee from an 'artizan' coffee shop and find myself spunking out £2.50 for a flat white far too often, I've always thought the food prices in those types of place are extortionate, with a lot of these places being guilty of what the above is writing about.

£2.50 for a loaf from an awesome baker is fine, but not for two slices of toast.

Look at this. It is exactly how coffee had commoditised over time.

At first a commodity was extrated - The coffee bean.
Then goods were made - ground coffee - and the coffee bean had been commoditised. Value was added.
Then services were added - a cup of coffee in a pub - and the ground coffee was commoditised. Value was added.
Then on this chart experiences were staged, but I prefer to see another step before that, the expansion of services - for example a cup of coffee at a nice Starbucks location. There the service of a made cup of coffee has also commoditised and value was added
Then comes the experience, which could be a trip to a far away country to see, smell and experience the making of the coffee, which will be in your memory for long after everythimg you drink a cup. This isnt the best example but then again coffee isn't the perfect product to explain this type of trend in economy.

However, you do see where the value was added. This value will not come down again just because some of us start to understand that paying shitloads for a cup of coffee is ridiculous.

The original article is worth a read.

What is not worth a read are loads of middle-aged white guys getting their panties in a total scrunch about it in every comments section I look. Maybe if my job was less boring I wouldn't torture myself by looking below the line. Oh well. #csb
