At the Lincolnshire Pantry today our chef Christine served up a lovely meal of roast sirloin, roast potatoes & parsnips with fresh local Kale, beatroot and yorkshire pud. An ideal cold weather meal. It was very enjoyable, but you'd be surprised to find out that it only achieved a score of 8/10. Why, when this is a regular meal often served up to the good people at the Lincolnshire Pantry. Well, we had run out of plain flower for the Yorkshire pudding, and because it was too miserable to walk out to the local shop, white bread flower was used. Hence, the lower mark because the pudding was very edible, and looked the part, but was too heavy. (a bit like bread really!)
Note; Curly Kale (or Borecole)is a form of cabbage either green or purple in which the central leaves do not form a head, and is known as one of the healthiest vegetables around. The author has found that Kale is only good if its fresh and young, otherwise it can be bitter.
