They were ridiculously good.

I'm a huge fan of any kind of burrito / taquito / enchilada breed.

I was going to post pics, but I factory reset my phone and stupidly forgot to back up my pics, so no pics lads. But I've been enjoying cooking this recently:

Cottage pie | BBC Good Food

Instead of the wine, use a bottle of strong English ale. Any will do. I use Shepherd Neame 1698, I've done this with double stout as well and it is just as good. For the Worcestershire sauce use Lea & Perrins do not use anything else.

I get the beef mince from the butcher - 2kg - so use 1.5kg in this. When you've added the beef stock and ale it will look like a lot of gravy, but I slow cook it for about 3-4 hours so the sauce has thickened up and the mince is really soft.

Get 10 meals out of this, freezing in foil containers and having it every night of the week >>>

^^^^^

That's called Shepard's Pie here in the states. And ya, comfort food 101.

Yeah mate it's unreal, probably my favourite meal. There is Shepherd's Pie here too, as far as I know it's the exact same dish but cooked with lamb and not beef. Do you use lamb in yours?

I mostly use beef but I made it with chicken recently and it was the bomb too.

Chicken pastrami. Brined for 3 days and then smoked. In the fridge to cool for a few hours. Pics of the final product later today.

Smoked is my least favorite taste. Smoked is like eating a wiggwam.

Shut up.

It'll end up sliced thin and then cooked on the flat top with melted swiss cheese and served on a toasted bun with thousand island cole slaw.
