Funnily enough I'm just about to write about my weekend joint leftovers.

That is about my limit for boning! That way, they are usually cheaper, the bones and skin can be boiled for soup (same as chicken wings which I don't bone!) We were quite poor as children and lived (not all the time) on dripping and bread, and/or black pudding. Dinner was sometimes porridge with cornflakes stirred in.Dchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490191919855219024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339317216265636215.post-70351488300662642322013-09-15T11:32:02.116+01:002013-09-15T11:32:02.116+01:00Your Chicken Noodles look lovely, I have to admit ...Your Chicken Noodles look lovely, I have to admit I never buy chicken on the bone except for a whole chicken, if I need chicken pieces its usually breasts and I know that the legs and thighs are much tastier in a casserole and so much cheaper. I really should get my act together and buy some. Its lovely when you have a local butcher who will supply bones, I wish I lived nearer a friend who's partner is a butcher lol, my daughter in law makes all his Christmas Puddings for his shop and he pays her with meat as well as supplying all the ingredients. At home we always had a dripping bowl, if it was fresh pork dripping we spread it on thick slices of bread with lots of salt..yum... not something we would do nowadays!!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11228988475838309316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339317216265636215.post-40873704384352725552013-09-15T10:47:56.874+01:002013-09-15T10:47:56.874+01:00I challenge myself all the time with meat.

Just bought half a leg of lamb from a farm shop on our way back from a few days away. That hopefully will do us loads of meals including soup. Do you use your chicken carcass or bones for soup? You can get loads of meat off them and makes oodles of soup. I went to our butchers a few months back and asked for some beef bones. Roasted them and apart from using them in soup, got enough lovely tasting fat for several batches of roast beef potatoes!Dchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490191919855219024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339317216265636215.post-51549887525702443322013-09-15T10:08:44.763+01:002013-09-15T10:08:44.763+01:00Looks good, amazing what you can make with just a ...Looks good, amazing what you can make with just a little meat and some extra ingredients. I splash Worcestershire sauce in most things. Weird to think its made from anchovies! I made some unusual things last week as we had nothin left and noodles would have been great. Thanks for sharing.
