Epic Fail :-(

Planned on making the legendary ragu.

Went shopping, forgot to pick up a head of celery.

Get home to find the beef and pork mince were actually beef and lamb mince.

It has been bubbling gently for three hours and the difference is noticeable.

I wouldn't mind but I have made a vat of the stuff and it's not up to scratch.

I will take myself away and kick my ass :-(

Removing celery from a recipe can only be a good thing.
The lamb/pork substitution, does it really make a massive difference ? It's all good meat.

Barmaid

Yeah OG, the lamb will definitely make a difference - I do really get where Eccles is coming from. And celery is marvellous as a base in so many things.

//Suck it up and whack in some chilli....// - I have had to read that several times so I can do it without laughing.

Fingers crossed himsel is oblivious and I'll just have to deal with my disappointment.

OG, I am intrigued by your vehement hatred of veg and salad! Where you abused by a cauliflower as a child?

Islay

Lol Barmaid, I have just re read what I wrote and it does come across differently from what I meant!

Old_Geezer

No, it is a cross I bear. I have the misfortune of working taste buds. It has cursed me all my life.

PS Cauliflower is fine, as long as it is cooked properly. Works even better with cheese.
