Minted Lamb Rib

One I ate earlier

Minted lamb ribs are a great snack and it always puzzles me why more eateries don't sell it to hungry shoppers. Do people not get tired of pasties all the time? I love pasties but its good to have change, and there's nothing better than chowing down on ribs for that change. (They are almost as tasty as bacon. But not quite). Make sure you choose a rack which has a crispy skin on it.
Ribs won't be to everyones taste because there is a lot of fat on them (don't mention them to your doctor) but for lovers of fatty meat they are fantastic. Oh and eat them the Henry VIII way, with your hands, tearing strips of flesh like a modern day savage. It really is the only way. Forks are for noobs. To be honest you would struggle trying to eat this the 'polite' way because they are quite tough. Nope, fingers are the way forward here like chicken drumsticks.
Lamb ribs are not the most filling of snacks but they can more fun to eat than a cheeseburger.


Enjoy your food!

The Baker Failed Me

The offending Pork Pie; to the bin Porky

I like Pork Pies when they're well made. Pie makers Melton Mowbray and the lesser known Haigh's, both make cracking Pork Pies that when added to a salad (or simply eaten with a cold pint of beer) it makes a lip smacking treat.
Alas not everyone has the magic Porker touch. Certainly Morrison's supermarket don't, if the Pork Pie I just had is anything to go by. After all the hulabaloo they make in the television ads over having in store bakers, I thought I was on pretty safe snacking ground. How wrong I was! It was very fatty, much more than usual for a pie, and the pastry also tasted of lard. And this is coming from a headbanger who loves things like bacon rind and the fat on steak. I couldn't finish it which is a first for me with pie.
