Aye, it's dependent on being able to make Yorkshire pudding well, making or getting the sausages right, and knowing how to make gravy properly. Each is an art form in itself. Done right, it's great. Get any one wrong, and it's stodge.


I'm lucky to have a Yorkshire bride who's also a great cook. Her Yorkshire puds in are amazing, as is her gravy.

Gravy, in the modern sense, is pretty much an English thing, as far as I know.

Yorkshire is in England, yes. I don't understand what you're trying to say.

I get sausage meat and add stuff. I've always wanted a proper sausage-making machine,but I'd use it probably twice a year. You also have to pre-cook the sausage exactly the right amount. Done properly, it's superb. Otherwise it's like we used to get at school.

I used to have a sausage maker, but it was way more pain than it was worth. It went the same way as my juicer and soup maker. Although the last two didn't break my counter top.

It's a blender with a heating element. Cooks the ingredients as it blends them. TG is right, just get a good pot.

I make soup every couple of days. Usual ingredients:start with homemade stock, and a can of tomatoes liquidized with a stick blender. From there you can go in a number of directions - add finely chopped mushrooms, &/or onions, &/or carrots, a little anchovy paste, some mushroom soy, worcestershire sauce, maybe leftover chicken/ham, TVP, garlic, herbs. When served, we add a little grated cheese, and Mrs thecurl adds fresh-ground pepper while I add Maldon salt. Very filling, and healthy and low-cal too.
Of course I usually blowthe "healthy" bit by eating a ton of fresh bread with it...

Yup, I do something similar, but maybe once every month. The soup maker was a dumb purchase. Not least because I actually like chunky soups and stews. If was a purchase made when I had a broken jaw.

It's way to use up the stock that results from not throwing away vegetable trimmings, bones, skin, etc. I almost always have a stock going.
