I was going to ask this very question.
I made a toad in the hole a few months back where the sausages were wrapped in bacon and it had bits of black pudding in the batter. I'm not sure you can get much more pig in a dish than that.

That's it basically - skin the sausages and wrap them in ham or bacon. There's grain mustard in the batter too.
I have a black pudding defrosting in the kitchen right this minute and am thinking about things to do with it. Black spaghetti on Sunday night is a possibility, especially as tomorrow night's supper is veggie.
Slight change of plan for lunch in that we went to sit by the fire in the Ranelagh rather than going to the St James Tavern that does Thai food, so I've got more tesco sushi.

I've considered it but it seems like really long hours and I'm not sure I could get on with the idea of doing something I love as a career. Work is meant to be depressing and soul-destroying. It wouldn't feel like work if it was something you felt inspired to do anyway.

I am also having soup and bread. I made a sweet potato, red lentil and chilli soup that was ready at 1pm. One of Kate's friends turned up at 1pm without letting anyone know she was coming and so now the soup is just sitting on the stove going cold. I'm really hungry, I wish she'd go.

It probably would have been nice 45 minutes ago. She's still here and we have a health visitor at 2 so it looks like I'll have to reheat it at about 3 and it will be rubbish.
Honestly. Who turns up unannounced at someone's house at 1pm.

People never used to here. We've both got mobile phones, why not call and then we can make excuses as to why you can't come over rather than just knocking on the door and then we have to pretend that we're glad to see you.
I think the strongest reason never to have a child is that people seem to think its fine to come and visit whenever they want because you have a baby. Idiots.
Anyway. This isn't about lunch sorry.
I may have chilli for lunch tomorrow if I have any leftover after tonight!

Yeah, you should say "Oh, we were just about to have lunch. Could you just wait outside for half an hour or so? I know it's a bit nippy but we really really rely on these little moments in the day, everything gets SO hectic. It's nice when we can have a little quiet spell to eat together, without some **** barging in unannounced. Not that it's not lovely to see you, you selfish fucking MONSTER!"

That's it, or be like 'well I just had soup on the go so I'm sure you won't mind' followed by you both messily eating your soup with forks. Served off of the square plates.
Stop halfway through destroying the place to say 'sorry that's rude of me, did you want some?'

These are good ideas. Everyone's gone now and I've eaten soup. It was tasty. Really tasty. I liked the fact that Dr Benway had coriander in his soup so I put some in mine as well and it worked well. It worked really well.

or just invite her in the kitchen and pour the soup silently down the drain in front of her, and if she doesn't react, smash her round the head with the pan and then kill yourself.

i had gastroenteritis a few months ago. Bad pizza. The thing that blew me away was the stomach pain. Previous experiences of food poisoning was the sickness and evacuation requirements, but that pain was a fucker. I was convinced I had an ulcer or something because I was paralysed by it.

I was having real stomach cramp issues when I came back from Egypt. Real double-you-over-in-pain kind of cramps. Not fun.

A very small, very overpriced baguette in the teeming screaming cafe at John Lewis and four (count them, four) apple cinnamon muffins when I got home to enable me to get over the experience of shopping in John Lewis with my mother. Shoulda better known better. The muffins were intended for the freezer in preparation for Cherry and Mrs Cherry's visit in a couple of weeks, so, sorry guys.
