This will not be to everyone's taste, but that's hardly a surprise, winter and cold means more traditional foods for me, for whatever reason. One of the most old school typical things in Portugal, involves a lot of different cuts of meat and sausages, plus cabbage and carrots. It's called the Cozido, here in a tiny restaurant 1 mile away from my home. Hoven cooked codfish with potatoes: Pantry pasta, with horse mackerel fillets as main protein, anchovies, capers, olives, onions, it was great: Sofia's lasagna, unfrozen for a comforting dinner: Nuts A mother's friend sometimes makes a rich tomato sauce and freezes in small portions, a few are sent my way and are a nice thing to have in the back of the freezer, here is one of them with some tagliatelle: Mum's squid and chorizo with mashed potatoes: Getting home late on a cold sunday means no fresh groceries, unfrozen portion of peas plus a quick turmeric and coriander rice. Very much portuguese, codfish in the oven, lots of olive oil and "punched" potatoes.

Are you complaining?

Are jeggings a woman’s thing? Or is it a brit thing?

It’s not meant as a joke, @Six30, but why have a party about badgers?

That’s why they cook them …

They're a little weird in the islands. Great bananas, though

I did read a couple of plays, and liked them, but it did take some effort to overcome the language. Some time ago though, maybe dealing with these ancient brits is bringing it back

What that it tell about oneself if one thinks that without the obligation of work one bores oneself to death?

Everyone's hardy enough to do it if they've got no choice.

So working until the day you die makes the Welsh better?

You’ll love Portugal, they like rice and potatoes together here!

Horsepower sauce? I know I hijacked this thread, but it just keeps coming. And @Sir Fallsalot, daddy’s sauce sounds wrong…

Yes, it’s fucking foreign! Here’s a news flash @Sir Fallsalot:spaghetti isn’t not foreign either! @boboneleg, I might flounce! Tomatoes on your tomato sauce? I don’t know…

No argument, as long as you don’t mix them

Sorry, I think there might be a language barrier happening

She’s away in school, she’s 22, old enough for university.

You have a sauce named “brown”?

Oh Bob, please tell me it’s no so You heathens!

Yes, but, no! help me out, @boboneleg

I once rode a k1600 Bagger with heated seat on cold autumn day. I could see one getting used to that.

Which part? Please no put chips with lasagna

Please tell me that a “lasagn” is not lasagna served with chips
