I got a free Graze box full off fruity, healthy goodness in the post the other day and have tried a few now, great concept of ordering online and having some of your five a day delivered to your desk for fruit & nutty nibbles. Yummy fresh orange & grapefruit mix, fantastic cut fresh pineapple and always a good selection of dried fruit & nuts, mango, macadamia nuts, cashew’s, pistachio, all sorts. It’s very lazy but they do use completely green and very cool packaging to ease your conscience.
You can choose what you fancy, what you would like to try and importantly what you hate! on their very good graze website.
If you want to try them use this code for a Free Box DR8ZRZRA or for a £1 box, ZM9CX28 No end date Graze website.

For comparison & for purposes of research you understand I felt compelled to try a “Slug Burger” at the Slug & Lettuce by the river in Richmond.
A moist organic burger, nicely presented with the onion ring perched on the mushroom stalk, tasty bbq sauce and a whole basket of chips.
From the Menu “SLUG ULTIMATE BEEF BURGER, With mushroom, Cheddar, bacon, beer-battered onion rings and a BBQ sauce. All of our beef burgers are made with 100% British organic beef and served with seasonal salad leaves, gherkin, tomato, red onion and fries. Our beef burgers are available in two sizes — single £10.45 or double £12.45.” Pic below shows the single.

Thought it would be rude not to try out a Rib Eye Steak at the Lister Arms in Malham at a recent family outing for Sunday Tea, it’s always quiet on a Sunday evening in Malham as many of the weekend visitors are long gone.
Served with crispy onion rings, a nice big field mushroom, cooked tomato and plenty of chips. I asked for the steak medium and that’s exactly what I got, cooked perfectly, juicy and perfectly to my liking, the photo below does not do it justice as it tasted much better than the pic suggests.

Dropped into The Arc in Headingley, Leeds for lunch between meeting’s recently and tried out an Arc Burger, lots of burger, nice juicy meat, tasty bbq sauce and great onion rings, served with a nice mini bucket of chips on the side. It was very good and reading the blurb in the menu they source locally. Friendly, fast service, great spot for lunch. Couldn’t tell you what the beer was like as it was coke only for me!!
From the menu “The Guv’ner 12oz £10.95, Our iconic double burger coated in melted, Monteray Jack, smoked BBQ sauce, bacon & mayo topped with onion rings.”

Fiercely traditonal and very tasty, Beef Brisket and Carrots is an old favourite and an old school “Frugal Food”. Simply braise or roast in a casserole for melt in your mouth rich beef flavours.
I used the Aga casserole with beer & root veg. Easily feeds four (4) with meat leftover for tomorrow cold.
Ingredients:-
- 2kg Beef Brisket joint, your butcher will string it to keep it all together during cooking
- can of bitter/ale
- root vegetables, carrot, parsnip, swede, turnip, a selection of whatever you have
- bulb of garlic split into whole cloves
- water
Method:-
- place brisket joint into your casserole
- pour over a full can of beer, bitter or ale
- roughly chop carrots and any other root veg and throw into the pot
- roughly chop 2 onions into quarters will be fine
- split a bulb of garlic and throw the cloves in
- add a little more water, salt & pepper to taste
- put the lid on the casserole and slow roast for 2 to 4 hours, I put in the bottom of the Aga for approx 4 hours
- carefully remove the meat and let rest
- carefully remove the veg and keep warm to serve with the meat
- thicken the remaining beef stock for gravy
Dish up and enjoy, should be more than enough for four hungry mouth’s and you can keep the leftover meat for a cold beef brisket sandwich or salad tomorrow… I remember Grandma serving cold brisket with a Yorkshire Salad aka sweet & sour salad, Lettuce, onion & tomato in vinegar, must try that again as well.
