I tried quorn mince years ago, it was expensive then, around the mid nineties, but tasted fine.

Shame about the peanut migraines, I used to love cheese, but can't eat it for the same reason ..

What is the relationship between peanut & cheese allergy - symptoms? Are you allergic to all dairy, or only cheese? Seems a little strange.

Migraine is strange. There is no relationship, migraine can be brought on by all sorts of triggers. For me, cheese, a certain saturation/shade of red, and loud deep noises. Those are the ones I have recognised, some times I'll get an attack and wonder why. though it must be said that as I get older the migraines seem to be getting less and less.

i had chicken livers last night! i'd never had them before, and wasn't too sure if i'd like them. they were done in a caribbean style sauce which had rum in it, and it was really nice. the livers were really tasty, and the sauce was lovely, with a nice warmth from the chillies and a depth of flavour from the rum.

i might get some chicken livers in tomorrow and have a go myself!

I've been wondering about them as I saw they were really cheap. Are they a similar texture to lamb's liver?

i've not had lambs liver so i don't know

they are really cheap as well, i was just looking on the sainsburys site and you can get 400g for a quid - thats cheaper than their cheap mince!

let us know if you try them and what you think, and how you cooked them

i had some pork belly last week, i've had it before but always roasted, but i see this thai stir fry recipe and sort of used that as base but changed it to what i like, and that was really good. i'd never thought of stir frying pork belly before.

My ex used to bake them in the oven wrapped in bacon. Every so often, the beautiful smell of bacon would arm wrestle with my common sense, win, and I would eat one...then I would remember about the liver!!

I just made a bowl of spicy onions... delicious.

basically it's just finely chopped onions covered with a sauce made from:

1 chili finely chopped
ketchup (a big spoonful)
mint sauce (2 teaspoons)
half teaspoon of dried coriander
half teaspoon of chilli powder

i finally got some chicken livers in, i'd been looking forward to them since i had them the other week.

i'd looked about at various recipes to make sure i cooked them right. i varied the sauce a bit from what i'd had, i put some red wine in there instead of rum, i had some chopped smoked bacon crisped up with the onions.

the sauce was lovely ... but the chicken livers, i'm not a fan anymore! i was pretty hammered on weed, cider and rum when i had them the other week, and they tasted great then, but now ... they're just not very nice

i'm pretty sure i cooked them ok, they were cooked through and weren't over cooked ... they just don't taste very good!

i've got another half packet of them as well ... think i will freeze them for another time ...

Hummus and mint sauce go together brilliantly on a slice of good bread...

"JUST SAYIN"

Also, peanut butter and hot pepper sauce is great too.

Hummus and mint sauce, resounding yes! Peanut butter and hot pepper sauce...uh, not so much. I know it would be like peanut sauce in thai food, but hot pepper sauce?

yeah, it's nowhere near as perfect as the first one, but just a few drops of the chilli thinly spread works nicely.

i had some of the tastiest chicken i've ever done tonight - i marinated it for about 24 hours in jerk seasoning, garlic, thyme and lemon juice. pan fried with some onions, peppers, tomatoes and coconut milk. the flavours had gone right through the chicken, the whole meal was proper nice Smile
