I'm always suss of a recipe with cornflakes in it pseud, but I'll see if I can persuade mrs kj to look after the sprog while I chop and bake. How do I get a teaspoon of onion? Do you seriously want me to divide my onions into fractions? This recipe looks like about one portion, should I double or triple it?
I have an awesome recipe for ginger-heavy chicken thighs which I'll locate when I'm sober.

ah...typo. Should be....well looking in mother's cookbook it appears she is at fault and not me:
1 t onion
1 t lemon juice
My guess is 1 cup, like the celery. I'll edit accordingly.
Thanks for catching it.

I'm landlocked right smack in the center of North America. I do not have the luxury of fresh tuna fish. But I'll give this recipe a try. Thanks Ray!

Trim, wash and dry 1.5 kg monkfish and cut into even slices.
Wash and dry the heads and shells of some langoustines.
Chop 4 shallots and crush a large garlic clove.
Chop a little parsley and 2 tablespoons tarragon leaves.
Skin 500 g very ripe tomatoes, remove the seeds, then chop the flesh finely.
Heat 6 tablespoons olive oil in a flameproof casserole or large saucepan and add the langoustine heads and shells and the sliced monkfish.
As soon as the monkfish has started to brown, add the chopped shallots and cook until just golden.
Pour in 1 liquer glass of Cognac and set it alight!
Add the crushed garlic, a strip of dried orange zest, the chopped tarragon and parsley, the chopped tomatoes, a small bouquet garni, 1 tablespoon tomato puree diluted with half bottle of very dry white wine, salt, pepper and cayenne.
Cover and leave to cook for 15 minutes; the fish must remain slightly firm.
Drain the fish and keep warm on a serving dish.
Remove the bouquet garni, strain the sauce and pour over the fish.
Garnish with tarragon sprigs and serve with black Thai rice or any other varieties of rice.

Someone please explain "rasher"--we get that here in Wisconsin when we walk through the woods. I am assuming it is an amount of bacon. Also, what we consider ham is actually bacon where you are.
What in the world is a scragg end and do I want to eat it?

A rasher is another name for a slice of bacon.
Scragg end refers to the cheapest cut of mutton or lamb. It was popular in Liverpool for adding to a local dish called 'Lobscouse' or 'Scouse'.
Come to think of it, when bacon was machine cut on shop premises, the clamped bit, which was left after slicing, was sold off cheap. This was just called bacon end in Leigh, maybe it was also called scragg end - I can't remember. (Is that what you meant Bongser?)

Off the subject just a bit--I had black sausage in Scotland once and cannot describe how terrible it was.
Of course I know that I am a hypocrite as I have a liking for Portugese blood pudding--which is probably dangerous but I eat it any way (but not often)...It's all cultural isn't it?

Never heard of black sausage from Scotland - haggis is their dish.
Lancashire's famous for black pudding - made of dried pig's blood and spices, I suppose you could call it black sausage. Excellent with bacon, egg and fried bread - you can't beat a health conscious fry-up!

I swore they called it Black Sausage and it was mainly spices and probably 95% bread and 5% pig intestines..yum. I didn't have haggis--I know what that is and didn't get the honor of having any.
All I know is that it was served with bacon, eggs and stewed tomatoes. In London I was presented with a breakfast of baked beans, eggs and cooked tomatoes and I almost died.
We only eat baked beans with hotdogs and never, never, never for breakfast!
Cheers,
Julia

' Bacon grows on trees around Kendal '
' Someone please explain " rasher " we get that here in Wisconsin when we walk round the woods '
Am I missing something here?...like a new process of crossing pigs with trees?
Would that make Poak?
Julia. Black Sausage is an inferior Scottish version of Lancashire Black Pudding which is traditionally boiled and served with Colemans English Mustard.
Barrie. Scragg End is, as you say, a cheap cut of mutton or lamb.
If you can get that, ask the butcher for knuckle joint, but tell him its for the dog, he'll give it you for nowt!

Hey Ministrel,
maybe the 'bacon that grows on trees in Kendal' is a pignut hickory! I was only kidding about the 'rasher'--you always get a rash; poison ivy, something creepy-crawly up the leg, deer ticks when walking in the woods here.
Now why in the world would I ever want to ask my Butcher for a knuckle joint!

Well they could be willows crossed with hogs, boars and pigs which would make a hollow, a billow and a pillow.
Since youve asked, ( and husbandry is not one of my favourite subjects ) the knuckle joint is either one of the ' ball ' bones from the shoulder of a cow!
Good for the teeth.....of a dog that is. Boiled can make a good stock for broth because is rich in marrow......which has to be good for you, doesnt it?
