Tonight is much the same by request, pork chops but maybe with a plum or blackcurrant sauce. Potatoes and broccoli as veg. I'm having celeriac and broccoli soup from a Covent garden cookery book.
I'm glad those chops were reduced, they weren't worth the full price.
They were really poorly cut without that nice curved bone. It had random odd chunks of bone waiting to surprise the eater and shrapnel bits everywhere. From large pointy sharp bits and rather small pale grainy bits that were hard to see covering the chop where the butcher/hacksaw merchant cut through the bones so the marrow came out and smeared everywhere. The marrow grit was like seasoning, covering the chop. In both boxes the ones on the bottom also were not chops, they were end of the cut. So instead of the nice round eye with the strip of fat and bone so it looks like a comma it was veined through with fat and more splat shaped. I can always casserole them but it just confirms my mistrust of the chops. The Queen of Yellow Labels told me they were £1.50, just take them.
No one was injured in the consuming of the chops, they were washed and given a good if overly personal scrape / massage / fondle / inspection. Husband thought I was being weird to them when he found me dragging my nails down them to crape the marrow grit off.
Hey ho, at least they aren't hairy and got a snout or toes on them.
