New sausage

In the third quarter of October we got around to trying the sausage bought at Morrisons at the end of September, as noticed at reference 1. A sausage which is presently out of stock at Morrisons and a website (reference 2) which is not performing very well this Sunday evening.

The garlic and onion, remembering to cut up the onion before applying heat to the garlic.

The tomato and orange pepper.

Some time later, the new-to-us sausage.

Shortly before the off.

On the table.

On the plate at 13:35, some two hours after kick-off. Satisfactory, but I found the short macaroni a bit wet. Big tubes better.

Dessert which may have involved the curious dates from Saudi Arabia, as well as the regular brick dates from Western Commodities, via Grape Tree.

Only space for a quarter of it on this first occasion.

At the end of all of which Justin Bridou was ruled to be a satisfactory alternative to Bastides, at least for stewing purposes.

A rather different sort of cake, created a couple of days later for an occasion which also happened to see the last knockings of the date dessert.

PS 1: the article at reference 3 caught my eye earlier, prompting pompous thoughts about the scales of justice, snapped above. While the Department of Education might have been careless, not to put it any stronger, in the way that, prompted by one Michael Gove, it sold access to a large file of children's records, carrying, inter alia, name, email and address information, is it wrong to allow online gambling companies to check whether people who want to gamble are of age? Given that online gambling is legal, what is wrong with helping the companies providing such services, distasteful though we may find them, to stay within the law?  The people actually doing the checking are to be found at reference 4, an operation based in Chester which seems to have grown very fast, from humble beginnings twenty years ago. A company which appears to be doing its bit to help balance our payments. Maybe wisdom will come with the new day.

PS 2: reference 2 was in much better shape by early Monday morning, and I find that flavoured sausages are to be had from Justin, as well as the regular ones. In fact, the whole site now looks very Iceland.
