Nope. Chicken is the worst of all the roast options. I don't care how juicy or succulent and how good the skin is, it's still dull.
But then again, all roasts are fundamentally dull.

I do make a big pot of something on the weekend and have that for lunches during the week, along with the broccoli. Never felt the need to have a big / heavy meal at night, hence the salads. Sometimes I don't eat anything at all. Just not hungry.
I'm on an anti-work thing at the moment, I'm coming in later and leaving earlier in my own little two fingers up at these helmets.

Last night - pork chop casserole ... an easy, one dish supper. Tonight - fish pie with a creamy, buttery mashed potato topping.

Hnd, why would you submerge a poor innocent pork chop in a dank and soggy casserole instead of browning and caramelising their delicious juicy crispy sweetness perfectly on a hot pan?

Hmm...mmm...pork....

It's fascinating how there are many Muslims who will do every possible haram thing but draw the line at eating pork. Which is so beloved by the rest of the world. Never quite figured that bit out.

They're not submerged. They sit on layers of thinly sliced potatoes and onions, over which has been poured a tin of Campbells Condensed Mushroom Soup. Put a lid on the dish or cover with foil and bake in a hot oven (230c) for about 50 mins, or until the spuds are just tender then remove the lid and brown the chops/crisp the fat for about 7 minutes. Delicious and, as said, a one-pot meal - and if you've got a timer on your oven it can be prepped in the morning and then stuck into the oven which is set to be ready when you get in from work!!

I just dribbled. Actually dribbled, ignoring the hateful flavour of soup you suggest, I think I'm going to have to make that meal.

Ah, so technically that is baked (or maybe braised) pork chops with a potato and onion casserole: now that's a different sounding proposition altogether...

Proof that this is all psychological as pork has no discernible smell, certainly not that could be distinguished from any other meat.

Do you like/eat beef bacon or veal bacon? If so, then you like the taste of bacon (or a pale imitation of bacon).
