Gammon rhymes with Salmon

funny enough for the first time ever a young man who came to stay for two nights told me he never thinks of Gammon as pork, he tells me it rhymes with salmon it must be fish. Um, but its not, it truly is pork.. Oops, that's a mistake. Now my favourite thing about gammon is its saltiness, you need not add any salt, and it tastes as if it was left to marinade in the stuff. (cured) Cured I think not. Now, gammon is best served with Apple sauce, YUM, and my best is actually baby purity; although, Ive always eaten purity as a snack, so naturally I just love it as a sauce friend for my pork.

Among my huge plate of gammon sat, roasted potatoes in salt and garlic with a dash of olive oil. (Oven roasted of course) Sweet carrots, with a smidgen of Cinnamon, Butternut, cauliflower with broccoli and cheese sauce and sweet corn. Now this is one of my favourite meals. It just makes me feel complete, often chicken for me; unless served as a proper dish like casserole doesn't feel like a meal to me..I have no idea why? But a chicken fillet with veg seems like a tea-time snack..

This was at my moms house, as Kyle was working and i did not feel like being on my own, as usual. I did take him some home though, in an ice-cream tub like a dog :) I also managed to take back enough for his friend too. And while i sipped on my tea, the silence of them eating the succulent gammon was effortless. My mom makes a mean gammon.

I think dinner tonight is chicken though? We shall see, I think Kyle's friend Lloyd may be making dinner, as I only finish work at six. Kyle at eight, so we generally eat after eight thirty, which isn't good for you. The latest you should eat is seven.

Oh well, we shall see what comes up tonight, maybe it'll be one of those dishes that you just take out what you have in your fridge, see what you can use, and pack the rest back. Although I always feel that's people just trying to rearrange their fridges with an excuse. I generally know what I want to cook, and if its not there and I want it I will go buy it. That's all dependant on how desperate I really am.

Favourite chicken dish - Coronation chicken, and remember you dont only have to use mango, there are alternatives, I'd recommend any dried fruit that is of the same consistency, such as peaches, nectarines, try anything though. That's the only way to find out. Or even better recommend to me, and I can try them out for you :)

Remember all, Gammon may rhyme with Salmon, but its pork, that you eat with a different fork..
