DA Baracus Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Re my 'roll on square sausage' from this morning: Obviously I put it in the actual roll. Yes, brown sauce and butter on top and bottom. The other roll in the bottom of the shot was a bacon(unsmoked) roll (three rashers, no sauce). Both sausage and bacon were grilled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a couple of smokies shacks in Arbroath that are worth visiting. These are tiny wee huts but have fresh caught smokies that are top quality fish (fish that are sold pretty much fresh from the sea, nothing added to them and usually from that morning). Aye there's plenty wee niche places like that selling quality local gear, but the standard supermarket in Scotland has no fish counter and is instead peddling vac packed river cobbler from a mega polluted harbour in fucking Vietnam or a pack of 8 day old prawns that were force grown in a Venezualan ditch. Its horrendous. I blame reverse snobbery in this instance. Its not cool to like good seafood. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at Morrisons on Wednesday and the counter still looked decent (even in the evening there was fresh fish out in the ice). Maybe they'll cut it back like other stores though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're the least worst of the big supermarkets but they all hacked back the counter offerings claiming to be "reacting to what shoppers want". Its all just part of the offer less and charge more racket they are all in on together tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
