Supplemental

I imagine that with the growing popularity of things like turkey crowns rather than turkeys for the Christmas dinner, there is a good supply of legs and wings. Some of which find their way into processed foods like pies - but some of which turn up discounted on the shelves of the Sainsbury's at Kiln Lane.

So today we took a supplemental turkey dinner. Roast thigh of turkey - costing all of £4.50 or so - recycled potatoes, roast parsnips and Savoy cabbage. Otherwise crinkly cabbage, the first such we have had for a while. Not sure why, as we used to eat a lot of the stuff. I even used to grow them on the allotment, although they rarely grew to the size you get in shops.

One advantage being that they do not overcook as easily as chou pointu.

Rounded off with tinned peaches from Del Monte. The ones named for a sometime luxury hotel in California. For which see reference 2.
