Well, if you like (really) hot sauces I've got a small bargain for you. I've just discovered I've still got a small number of these in storage from last year.
They are past the Best Before Date so I am offering them at just Β£1 each or 6 for Β£5. Please note it is the best before date and not use by date so they are safe to eat but might have lost a bit of their quality although they look the same as the did last year.

4 Trynidad Scorpion
8 Ghost Pepper
9 Carolina Reaper

Now, they are HOT, so if tikka masala is your limit they may not be for you πŸ”₯πŸ˜‰

I haven't smoked any meats this whole week and it felt kind of like vacations. It was good to have a break though after smoking almost non stop from mid May to mid September.

I will be back to the normal rhythm from tomorrow but for now here's the king of Polish Sunday dinners, the mighty "schabowy" with fries and tomato "mizeria". You can find versions of it with mashed potatoes and sauerkraut which are also popular but this is my top choice,especially if you add a bit of crushed garlic to mizeria.

Now, in Poland, you could always tell which neighbour was having a schabowy for dinner because you could hear the constant banging of a meat tenderiser on a Sunday morning.

All you need is fairly thick pork loin steaks which you can cut in half from top to bottom but stopping from actually cutting one thick pork chop into two thin ones, stop just about a half a centimetre from actually cutting it all the way through. You'll end up with a pork chop that weighs the same but "doubles in area", tenderise them quite a bit and they are pretty much ready but I like to cover then with chopped onions, cover with milk and leave in a fridge overnight. The next day just sprinkle them with salt&pepper, dust both sides in flour, then dip in a beaten egg and finally cover in breadcrumbs. Fry in lard only. Thank me later 😁

The last event for this summer and it was a really odd sight to see just some chutneys left as eveything else has sold out 😁 can't complain about that but it certainly looked a bit weird with no meat or cheese at all πŸ‘πŸ˜

I will see some of you at a few Christmas events around the island and remember you can always order my produce at Www.wightsmoke.co.uk

Thank you to everyone who came to my stall over this summer, see you all again soon πŸ‘

I wanted to introduce a new "family member" to you all πŸ˜€

I've had a spirit in mind for quite some time now and it has finally materialised. I think it complements my whole offer really well for that true Polish experience be it meats, sausages smoked cheese or...vodka! Not a typical run of the mill one but a sweetgrass vodka made locally for me by the experts from Isle of Wight Gin Company

You might have tried what's often called a bison grass vodka before - possibly served with apple juice. I will dare to say that mine is better - top quality vodka, long macerating time, locally made and I think it looks stunning too!

It will be made in small batches only. Pop in to my stall at Wolverton Manor Garden Fair tomorrow if you'd like one! πŸ˜€

Those of you who got it today I hope you like it as much as I do πŸ˜πŸ‘

I called it DYM, I'm not telling you what it means in Polish but "the clue is in the name", or you can Google it 😁

It is the Wolverton Manor Garden Fair today (and tomorrow). My stall has a new addition, can you spot it? 😁

Some food cravings I get don't solely revolve around Polish food (obviously). I have been craving a good Vietnamese takeaway for quite a few months now. I know we get all the usual Chinese takeaways on the island but they didn't seem to fill that void I have.

I discovered Vietnamese food while at uni in Jelenia GΓ³ra when scouring a now gone but still legendary market called Flora (picture of it courtesy of Google) , and there was a Vietnamese bar, called Thang Long, right in the middle of it. It was cheap and cheerful homecooked food made by a really lovely Mr Lee. It was the first time for me trying oriental food and I I will always remember the free crushed chillies that were on the table next to salt and pepper. As any young man I thought I was bulletproof and immune to heat&spice but I was quickly taught a very valuable lesson.

Two soups - spicy prawn and mild crab as well as some spicy beef accompanied by some wheat craft b**r and followed by a redcurrant cake. What's not to like apart from incoming diabetes?

Energylandia, a theme park with the most rollercoasters in Europe. Got to keep the teenagers happy otherwise they start to rebel. Not much to report, it's a theme park, you've been to one of them you've been to all of them. I was dreading the standard burger&chips meal there but it turned out they had some grilled sausages so had to go for that. Fottlong, toasted baguette, ketchup and mustard. Simple solutions are the best.

For the proper meal later on I went for another Polish classic - ΕΌurek which is a fermented rye soup served with white sausage and a boiled egg and a Polish take on the schnitzel made from pork loin rather than veal. Huge, tasty and satisfyingly home style cooking.

Now, whenever you see "zestaw surΓ³wek" on the menu just add them to your main meal. It's usually a trio of differently flavoured, thinly chopped/grated vegetables. You can see them in the second picture on the left: grated cabbage with caraway seeds, carrot with apple, beetroot with onion and vinegar. Different restaurants will often do slightly different variations. You can often get them ready made at greengrocers or regular shops to take home for dinner. The veg are usually mixed with a bit of oil as that helps your body absorb the nutrients better.
