Not to discourage any of the good Slopalong energy, but this recipe has pork in it. Taking partially cooked pork out of the oven and leaving it to cool for a while - no, I don't believe Jack's claims that it will continue to cook inside the dressing gown - can be really dangerous. https://www.webmd.com/diet/is-it-safe-to-eat-rare-porkHas anyone tried the Energy Saving Cassoulet yet?

Slow-cooked dishes donāt need to sit on the hob or in the oven for hours. After a short blast of heat, they can be tightly wrapped in a towel and left to carry on cooking at no costwww.theguardian.com
I was going to make something sausage-stew related this weekend anyway, and am fully prepared to wrap up a casserole dish in my dressing gown as part of the cooking process. In the interests of THE SLOPALONG, and of SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH.
There is a thing called a Hay Box, an ancient method of cookery, where the cooking pot is heated up to boiling point, then put in a box thickly insulated with hay for several hours to finish cooking in that extremely well insulated environment, they were still doing it in rural places during WW2 to save on fuel and it seemed to work okay.Not to discourage any of the good Slopalong energy, but this recipe has pork in it.

Happy to be of service and properly laughing out loud.My partner has for so long struggled to understand why I have such a problem with Jack Monroe despite my ranting and raving (I think she just doesnāt listen to me in all honesty) but the slopalong has been an absolute revelation to her - chapeau ninnies! She even gets into bed at night and asks āany new slops today?!ā (I know, I know, really sexy pillow talk). She totally gets NOW why I think JM is a fraud. However, she has just caught me intently watching a mug spin round in an internet strangerās microwave and I think she thinks Iāve fully lost it. This thread is GENIUS, thanks guys
So basically the majority of her cake/sauce based recipes then, She never cooks the flour hence her sauce never thickensUncooked flour can harbour e.coli. if her cake recipes are causing uncooked batter that's more danger jack to contend with.
I have mug envyMicrowavemini eggsnow balls hot chocolate
Part 1
Substitution of mini eggs with snow balls suggested by @Lostcat, merci xSlopalong #3 She doesn't understand beans
Oh lordy are you all in for a treat. I didn't make this for my lunch as I thought I would be kind and involve my 13 year old, Miss Heastlanda (MH). All photography by her. 1. The ingredients. I had everything in stock except for the chocolate. Switched the malt vinegar for red wine vinegar...tattle.life
It calls for 8 mini eggs at 3.3g each so 26.4g
The snow balls are 3.9g each so 7 does the trick, but what's 1 snow ball between friends
Thesej1gmsg scales are really handy

When I was banging on about 200ml not being a proper mug here's the proof, mug on the left is a bog standard size, it ain't full. My proper hot choccy mug on the right is about half full

It says microwave the milk (200ml) and mini eggs for 60 seconds on half power, stir then repeat thrice more.
As predicted it was just warm so I put it on high for another minute.
Finished article including 'bits' left over, they were mushy rather than hard shell pieces left and weren't keen on dissolving. I assume mini eggs would be similar.

The drink itself is another 3 - middle class, but it's not as good as the peanut butter hot chocolate version. Again can't call it terrible despite not enough heating time.
I had enough milk and snow balls to make a second batch to fill my big mug so "dangerously doubled" up.
Not sure I would choose to do it this way again, between the two recipes I would probably go for 300ml milk, 100ml water with 6+ squares and a tbsp peanut butter.
But I have had some nefarious ideas with other chocolates, watch this space
I 100% agree that a dressing gown is not a hay box though,
Hastings, is that you?Jesus, Mary, Joseph and the wee baby donkey, will someone PLEASE teach her that herbs have different flavours?

This makes me sad, a properly made Lardy cake is an unctuous, flaky decadent treat.So here they are - not overly offensive looking
View attachment 1741302
the small ones are basically rock hard missiles that could smash a window with a flick of the wrist
The bigger ones are hard on the outside but still quite soft in the middle. Very stodgy. They donāt hold together particularly well. They taste of cinamon and sugar. They are basically ok?
Can I give them a 2.5?

I made these when I was a Jackolyte and they were awful. I am going to find a different recipe and try them again.This makes me sad, a properly made Lardy cake is an unctuous, flaky decadent treat.
