I reckon dishes like these are so bland, cheap cuts of neck of lamb, potatoes, carrots, salt and pepper. How can any body find this tasty. I think its down to uncultured palates, there are so many better ways to cook cheap cuts such as neck and shanks, like in a jus.

I hought that a jus was something you made to serve with or over the dish, not cooked in it, but what do I know?

But if, as some people would say that a jus is just a modern name for gravy, well then Lancashire Hot Pot IS cooked in a jus.

sorry jus meant a type of rustic sauce with olives and tomato in a sort of a greek style.

oops, i meant i thought that is was that!

Ah so cheap cuts of meat in tomato is ok then?

I dont mean in just tomato, this sauce I saw was on Floyd around the Med while he was in Greece, its is a robust sauce packed with flavour, unlike hot pot which is a long boring dish for the uncouth.

I think you should maybe pay a little more attention and pay a little more care about people you are insulting here DeLeeder. You may say you are only goading but not offensive, but you are treading a very thin line and in my opinion have crossed it a few times already.

You have a good sense of humour, so please, use it in a good and nice way, then people here will really appreciate you and your input.

true say rustie, am well sorry- i'll keep my self in check now

Well, welcome aboard DeLeeder, look forward to more conversations with you
