I dunno how you stay so thin with all the spuds you eat Dundee. You must have a worm in ya the size of a boa constrictor

Chucked a mutton loin in the smoker for 20 minutes with some Cherry and Manuka wood.
Then cooked over charcoal for 45 minutes.
Melt in the mouth feed with some spuds and carrots.

[Fat belly Dog]

@Thar , I was once a very fat belly dog, believe it or not I lost about 12kgs (a fair bit of that was just water weight) in 30days just eating boil spuds and drinking water and black tea...

So the spuds aren't the problem it's all the butter, cream and sauce we put with them...

And yes boiled spuds got old real quick, that first steak after 30 days tasted bloody good..

I would just eat nothing but steak and ditch the spuds if I wanted to lose weight. I think this topic has been done to death though.

Or get covid and don't give your body time to recover. Done 2 overnighters and spent several days recovering after each. The last one really flattened me. Nearly 4 weeks out from a clear test and Ive lost 8 KGs.

Still cant taste much. BBQ tonight and I will be using plenty of spices and stuff to get some flavour.

Made venison tartare tonight, no photos but definitely worth a mention.
Took a small section of fallow backstrap, sliced it super thin, then cut those pieces finer again.
Finely diced quarter of a large onion, added that to the meat, then seasoned with plentiful amounts of garlic pepper and garlic salt, and a bit of garlic infused oil. (Sounds overpowering in terms of the garlic, but definitely wasn’t.)
Then formed that into a neat patty shape on a plate, and made a shallow depression on top. Put it in the fridge covered. Then pulled it out when the first of the crew turned up, put two fresh egg yolks on top, put it on the table with some crackers and cheese. Some folks were a bit hesitant, but it was soon flying off the plate, so tasty.

[RUMPY]

Was given some wild pork mince from a mate,

Added bread, ginger, garlic, spring onion and egg. Mix and made meatballs.

Fried an onion and green capsicum, Added a jar of sweet and sour simmer sauce and put cooked meatballs back in.
Dinner for me and my eldest son.
Young son was at a friends last night, when he got home we shared the leftovers for lunch today.
Nice when both of them say it's good.

Today is the first day, the opening day of Chinese new year, or lunar new year of dragon, spring festival....etc. Last night as usual, I made these dishes once a year at the new year eve, particularly for the carp fish because it `s time consuming, need lots of efforts to get rid of the unwanted fishy smell. Happy new year!

And normally accompanied with an amount of cash in a red envelope. Such is my memory from Singapore 1973 to 1975.

What is the secret to making carp edible Black Rabbit?

What is the secret to making carp edible Black Rabbit?

Carp is always edible, the wild catch is the best especially from the river or big lakes. In NZ only has Koi, the pest in NI. There is no secrete, only need to prepare the fish right, wish it clean from inside out, or you can wet age it for couple hours with some ingredients such as ginger, vinegar. Then fry it with high power fire, those electric fire would `nt work. The rest is depending on your culinary skills and tastes you like.
