Going to get some great mileage out of this week. Got a very large free range chicken and had it with local spuds & carrots, plus cabbage and spinach from the garden for sunday lunch Only used one breast so with a bit of ingenuity should have meals until at least thursday sorted.

Show off. You only have to do one meal - not a whole week.

Still in need of inspiration for mine this week. Had a near miss yesterday, but don't want to cheat.

The fact you have one has never been in doubt (I don't think) - whether it should be flaunted is another thing altogether

And there are laws against such things you know.

I fancy doing a UK week - just not this week! We had our local stuff last night: Chicken: Foxbury farm, 40 miles spuds: Whitchurch, 8 miles cauliflour and peas: Mill house farm, 1.5 miles broad beans from the garden I think I might have done all the easy stuff. Next week might have to be a bit more inventive!

So, what you're saying M-J, is that it wasn't just a large chicken it was a big cock.

I'll get me coat.
