Zola July 21, 2017 Share July 21, 2017 My girlfriend is coming over tonight, and she's expressed a preference for a piece of gammon steak, a slice of pineapple, a couple of fried eggs, mixed veg and a few chips (fries) I think I will go for the same but with jacket potatoes rather than chips. And perhaps a sliced & diced pepper/chilli just to sex things up a bit. Just need to go out and buy some gammon I suppose.

Must have been too much sugar in the brine, so I will be interested in what you think. It wasn't too sweet at all, so maybe you had a bad batch, brinewise. Overall, while it looked very pretty, I wasn't impressed with the quality of the chicken. It was stringy and very hard to pull off the bone. Maybe it was old? I baked it exactly according to the directions, maybe it's better cooked on a grill. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/11962-what-did-we-eat-today/page/74/#findComment-3477795

Bastet is right! It's a joint (back leg) of pork that has been cured a certain way, and can be served as ham slices, steaks or as joints. Here in the UK sliced gammon is quite popular at carveries and Christmas Day dinners, either as the main meat or shared with beef or turkey. Gammon steaks, on the other hand, can be served with chips (fries), fried eggs and veg etc - absolutely gorgeous! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gammon_(meat) Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/11962-what-did-we-eat-today/page/74/#findComment-3480060

ethalfrida July 30, 2017 Share July 30, 2017 (edited) I made scrambled eggs after watching a Youtube video from Ras Kitchen. Very interesting. Several short how-to videos showing Mokko, a Rastafarian brother, prepare many dishes in his outdoor kitchen. His entire complex in the Jamaican forest is envious from my point of view. Not that they don't trek to the market to buy certain staples but they don't even have electricity or gas. The way he manipulates the fire and his wood is amazing. And his chef hat for his 7 feet long dreads is a pair of red Calvin Klein undershorts. But I really wish I could hang out and regret I didn't know about it all when I visited Jamaica a couple of years back. Went to Bob Marley's house and then looked for Keith Richards' place. The eggs consisted of putting water in a skillet, adding tomatoes, spring onions, fresh garlic, a sprinkle of chicken broth and fat, preferable coconut oil. I used ghee. After the vegs are soft add your eggs and cook until they are done. Only precaution is to watch the amount of water.
